Former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestley—better known as "F1 Elvis"—joins us to talk about his brand new book Pit Lane Lessons: What F1 Can Teach You About Work and Life.

In this episode, Marc reveals the surprising origin story behind his legendary nickname, takes us inside McLaren's obsessive culture of excellence during the championship-winning years, and explains how those pit-lane principles translate into business success today. We discuss the delicate balance between obsessive attention to detail and maintaining team morale, the parallels between McLaren's 2007 and 2024 seasons, and what it was really like working alongside Lewis Hamilton during his first championship run.

Marc also shares his moment of clarity that launched his second career, why he thinks Lando Norris might win the 2024 championship (and why he'd rather be in Max Verstappen's seat), and what makes Austin, Texas, one of the best fan experiences in Formula 1.

Whether you're an F1 fanatic or a business leader looking for competitive advantages, this conversation is packed with insights from someone who's lived in both worlds at the highest level.
