Through her heart-shaped sunglasses (Elizabeth Blackstock)

We all have passions, desires, and interests that keep us moving and help us get through the monotony of day to day life. If you’re lucky, you may be able to combine your passions and turn them into a successful career. Our guest has taken her life long passion for racing and found a way to combine it with her love for the written word. 

You’ve probably seen our guest roaming around a paddock near you, wearing her signature heart-shaped sunglasses and “emotional support TransAm crop top”. Her work spans automotive outlets like Jalopnik, A Girls Guide to Cars, Donut Media Podcast, The Drive, RACEWKND and many others. Joining us is writer, editor, journalist, podcaster and novelist Elizabeth Blackstock.

This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.
