Miron Pingasov spent most of his young life chasing a single goal — to become a top-tier professional race car driver. By age 17, he was racing at 150 mph and living the dream. But after the tragic loss of a teammate and a growing sense that the sport he loved had become more about politics than passion, Miron made a bold choice: he stepped away.
In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, Miron shares what it took to walk away from the only life he had ever known and how he began creating a new one with intention and purpose. From open-wheel racing to real estate, from grief to growth — this is a story about learning to trust your gut, even when it’s terrifying.
