Imagine being your dad's shadow on track with legends...Mario Andretti, F1, Lola. Our guest, Simon Dawson, grew up with racing in his DNA and has incredible stories to share with you. As our Athenians hear from many of our STEM role models, his is also a path with many twists and turns. While he loved the racing industry his parents wanted him to take a different path. He became a professional tennis player, but the lure of racing couldn’t be denied and an opportunity to work with Ferrari brought him to the States.

Simon Dawson: The Boy Without Love | Is a book about Simon Dawson's life with his mother. In this vulnerable conversation, Simon speaks to me about how he came to understand that his mother did not love him. He expertly expresses the pain he went through as a boy growing up without his father in the home, his mother's abject dislike of him and what that means for him as a man with his own life and destiny. This is a powerful, emotive and compassionate conversation.
