No purchase necessary vgw group void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. Welcome to the Tudor Dixon Podcast. Today is an awesome day because we have Danica Patrick with us. I am so excited to have you here, Danica. Thank you so much for joining me.
- [00:41]
Danica Patrick
My pleasure. Thank you.
- [00:42]
Tudor Dixon
So, in case you don't know, but you probably do, she's a former NASCAR and IndyCar driver and the only woman to ever win an IndyCar Series race. So we are super excited to have this is like a woman podcast. Even though we have a lot of men listening, we celebrate women on this podcast for sure every day.
- [01:01]
Danica Patrick
Good, good. Well, I'm happy to do that. It was just International Women's Day, wasn't it?
- [01:06]
Tudor Dixon
It was. Yes, it was. So, so we have more to celebrate. But also we're celebrating you because you've had such an interesting story. Just from the standpoint of, you know, obviously you do things that are. Are not the norm. I mean, it's not the norm for a young woman or a young girl at 10 years old to start racing and then become a NASCAR driver, an IndyCar driver, but also in the political world. I, I was reading your story and I'm like, no way. This is the first time you voted.
- [01:37]
Danica Patrick
Yeah, I mean, the, the first political event I ever went to was Am Fest. I live in Scottsdale, so it's here in town and it's Charlie Kirk's big event. And it was December of 2023. That was the first political event I ever went to. Probably makes me look bad, but I didn't even know who Charlie was at that point in time. So I am very new to the scene. And crazy is that we can go through kind of how it all happened, but it was, it was really cool to go from my first time I ever went to the event to the next year I was a speaker at. It was just sort of like embodied the evolution of me in politics, I guess.
- [02:18]
Tudor Dixon
But we watched you. I mean, I think it has to have been kind of like a starstruck moment for all of us who are just weirdos in the political world to watch, like a superstar walk in there. Here you are, this amazing race car driver and I. And bigger than life, really, because what you've done in your life as a woman was really impactful for all of us, I think, men included. But I can speak from the standpoint of a woman kind of watching you go through that and going, wow, that's incredible. And then to have you walk into that room, I mean, even for Charlie, it had to have been a moment of, wow, why is she here? And how can we get her more involved?
- [02:57]
Danica Patrick
That I think that. Well, first off, very, very flattered. Thank you. I had a very blessed career. I had so many wonderful opportunities. I had so many great people helping me. So I. I look back at it, and sometimes I look and I'm like, I did that. So it's. It's sometimes surreal for me, too. So when I went to the event in 2023, I finally met Tucker. He was one of the speakers. And I did know who Tucker Carlson was. And I had. There was a plan for me to be on his show a couple of times. Once some conf. Of schedule happen. Well, actually, they both ended up being a scheduling thing. But the second time I was planned, and it was. He got fired from FOX at that point, so it was like, oh, well, that's not gonna happen. And then his people reached out and were like, we'd still love to have you on the show. I was like, oh, that's fantastic. So anyway, there was a lot of effort, and so I was like, finally, like, gotta see Charlie or gotta see Tucker. And my sister was with me. And so we. We hung out all day. It was like, all. All day. And then he went and did a podcast for, like, almost two hours. And we waited and we waited. And it was totally. Because he's even better in person. I would say Tucker's one of those people that's even more engaging and more like, he's just better even in person. And so we hit it off, and he, you know, his sort of team put it together, and that was December 20th. I don't know, is probably like the 20th. Ish. And I was on his. I flew to Florida and was on his show January 3rd. So we turned that around really quickly and got on his show. And then after I did that and posted about it, then I. I heard from Charlie, and he was like, hey, I know you came to the event. You know, I don't know if you'd Be interested, but love to have you on the show. And I was like, great. And then. And then I sort of. At that point, I was like, I guess I'm in politics.
- [04:47]
Tudor Dixon
But you had kind of a moment where you were like, I could just live my life normally and sort of see where this goes, or I can take a turn in. And then you took, like, a major turn into politics.
- [04:57]
Danica Patrick
I have to probably give Tulsi credit or blame for that one or the other.
- [05:04]
Tudor Dixon
Eventually. It might be blame. I'll just tell you, maybe.
- [05:07]
Danica Patrick
I feel like a lot of people think that the spot that I'm at, where I don't really know that much, is actually this sort of, like, little golden spot where you're not jaded. You haven't sort of, like, fallen into the patterns and rhythms of politics and rhetoric and, you know, whatever policy, you know, partisan politics. But. But I do feel like I'd love to know a little bit more, but when I was at the event in 2023, Tulsi was one of those who spoke, and I looked on Instagram and saw that she followed me, and I was like, how cool. So I sent her a message and said, you were fantastic. Just wanted to tell you that. And she's like, you know, we just had a little. Little love fest back and forth. And so I ended up interviewing her for my podcast because she had her book come out for Love of Country. So that was in the springtime. And then she invited me to moderate for her and Bobby in at a Reclaim America tour stop. And so I. I had never moderated an event in my life, and so I was like, sure, I'm. I realized after I was done racing that I thrive and feel alive in situations that I'm very uncomfortable. I had no idea. So it's like, there's, like, for sure, fear, but I. But I love to do those kinds of things and push myself. And so I did one, and then I. And then I moderated an event for JD Vance in North Carolina. I ended up campaigning in every swing state. So anyway, and so I, you know, moderated. And then Tulsi asked me if I'd come along for the whole last week of the. Of the campaign, which was so cool. So, yeah, just the people I met, too.
- [06:52]
Tudor Dixon
I think I saw you in Grand Rapids. Did you go to the Grand Rapids event the night before? Okay, I did.
- [06:58]
Danica Patrick
That was the. I didn't speak at that one, but I was there. But, you know, to kick that off, it was. We did a. We did a little rally with a with a bunch of women in Atlanta. And it was myself, Lara Trump, Caroline Levitt, Kristi Noem, Sarah Huckabee, and Tulsi and I. And like, so, like, look at that lineup. I was like, how am I in this lineup? Like, they all have jobs, real big jobs. So it was just.
- [07:33]
Tudor Dixon
It is so funny to hear you say that, because I think for all of us, it's so obvious that your story is the real story that resonates with women across the country, because I think so many women right now are politically homeless. You know, we've always kind of trended toward the person who has said, we want to make sure that women have rights and that women can play in sports and that women can vote and all of, all of the things that women used to not have. And we fought for that. And then we fought for the right to be CEOs and we fought for the right to be senators and congresswomen. And now it seems like that the party that historically said that they were the ones that would stand up for feminism have turned and they don't really have. They don't even know what lane they're in right now. And so for you to come out, and I think for all of those of us who have been in the political movement and, and certainly for those who have been elected that you were on that stage with, I think for those people to have someone who, like you said, someone who is very young in their views on politics, but is moving toward the right things. And I've read that making America healthy again is really one of your passions. And I think that as a mom and as a cancer survivor and as someone who lost my dad to cancer, I look at that same thing and I'm like, that's what I've wanted to hear. Forget about whatever party it is. It's about the fact that we have things in this country that are making us sick. I've watched kids in my daughter's classrooms go from being normal, healthy sized children to over time becoming overweight when they're in sixth grade. And it, and I'm like, it's not because their families are eating unhealthy. We've seen this trend. It's something that we're all eating well.
- [09:25]
Unknown Speaker
Wow.
- [09:25]
Danica Patrick
I'm. Congratulations. And I'm sorry for the loss as well. But these are the things that for sure wake us up. And these are the things that for sure get us angry, you know, and frustrated with the system. I, I have to back up a little and say that, you know, you were You. You mentioned I. Do I jump in? Do I not jump in? I don't think that it's. I. That it's. I haven't had an opinion on politics, but I really. I sort of walked the. I walked the PC line and did my job as a race car driver and an athlete in sports and didn't want to. Didn't do it. I didn't have any desire to, like, meddle in the other areas. I wasn't. I'm not a big, like, activist. I'm not a feminist. I'm, like, nose down to the grindstone on the things that you're really passionate about. And so that was racing for so long. And so there's just generally not a lot of room for politics and religion in sports. And that was fine with me. I really didn't care. There's plenty of other drama that went on, so I just didn't engage. But I felt like it really became a calling. And I think that that calling was spawned on the fact that when I went in 2023 to Amfest and just simply posted some photos and basically summing it up to say I love America as a caption, to have negative backlash for that infuriated me. And then on top of that, you know, I'm blessed and fortunate that I can feel like I can kind of avoid most problems. I mean, even inflation and prices. It's not. It's not going to change my world. But the health stuff, I finally. There was finally something I couldn't run from anymore. Like, I can't run from what they do to our food in the grocery store. And like, I live in Arizona crap. And growing here. Like, oh, I'm not. I'm not having my own garden. Like, I'd love to have, like, it's 115 all summer, so. So I'm not eating scorpions for dinner. Although probably nutritious.
- [11:28]
Tudor Dixon
People probably want you to.
- [11:30]
Danica Patrick
Probably nutritious. I finally just felt like there was nowhere I could go. I mean, when you look up to the sky and you see the streaks all over the sky and, you know, feel like chemtrails and the things that fall out from that, now they're on your food, they're on your car, they're on your grass outside. They're just everywhere. And not to mention the stuff that they might do behind the scenes with food. I mean, the fear of, like, what if they just start genetically modifying in ways with vaccines and different things with food, and they don't say anything or they slip it under the label Like, I feel like what Apeel did, right, it was like if you actually take the label off of the fruit or vegetable to be able to see that they're the fruit, that they put the wax on it. I mean, they can get creative with this stuff as well as marketing. You know, when they pose things as natural and whatnot, we know that these are not, we're finally getting hip to the lies, that this isn't really what it means. And so, so I just kind of felt like, I felt like it was enough, was enough. And so the health stuff, but I've always just been so, so engaged with health, whether it's food or fitness or anything. It's all very, I love to understand the body and, and hack the body. I, you know, just got done doing my red light and Gua Sha routine before I came out. So, you know, I love that. So. But between being able to say things like I love this country, wear an American flag, fly an American flag, and have those things not be Republican, but be American is I think what ends up having to be the final goal, to know that there's been some sort of healing and recovery by the country, to be proud of this country again for everyone and play for the same team in so many ways. And health is nonpartisan. It's, it's core to everyone.

Tudor Dixon
Today, my journey was somewhat similar, but from the standpoint of education I grew up in, always thought that. I never thought about it. To be honest, I didn't think about it. Then I moved into the conservative movement in 2017. I came out of manufacturing, I moved into the conservative movement and started to learn about all of the things that were different that were being taught to our kids about not loving America and why America was no good and why you should be unhappy and why you should feel bad about who you are and how you're hurting other people. And I thought, no, this can't be true. And then. And I was like that parent who just sent my kids because I was like, I didn't even think about it. The public school has them eight hours a day. That's their job. And I trust them. But then when the pandemic hit, I moved the girls from the public school to, to the private school mostly because I didn't know when they'd ever go Back to school. I'm like, I gotta work. So we're gonna take you to a different school now.
- [17:09]
Danica Patrick
Yeah.
- [17:10]
Tudor Dixon
But the difference was shocking. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Wow. We should not be demonized for saying we want the best for kids in school. We want them to be able to read, we want them to know math. I mean, these are, like, the fundamental basics that we're putting aside for politics in the classroom. And why aren't we more upset that kids can't read? That was my journey.
- [17:34]
Danica Patrick
Yeah, well, that's. I mean, there's. There's nothing in. In fact, I. I believe that what has sort of fueled a lot of this peeling back of the veil of what they are doing behind the scenes that is affecting everyone has come from on the heels of when they tried to push the vaccine on children.
- [18:00]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah.
- [18:00]
Danica Patrick
And it's one thing for a parent to go, oh, well, I'll be fine. I gotta go to work. I do these things. And it's another thing when they're like, not my kid. And so because of that, it kind of engages you to, like, figure out more and understand because, you know, you care with every fiber of your being for your children. So whether it's health safety or mental safety and whatever they're being taught in school and the curriculum. The curriculum needs a rehab anyway. But let's face it, there's a lot of stuff in school that we don't need and probably more time than we need to spend there. But also that than just like, whether it was like, critical race theory or whatever they. The teacher decided to put on the walls. I mean, I think statistically, you know, when kids go to college and university thing, 99% of professors are Democratic. And so it's inevitable that they're going to get a more liberal, progressive indoctrination for years during a very, you know, formidable amount of years of your life that come out. And I mean, I love questioning things, for sure. If there's one thing about me I do is that. But. But to shape the minds in a way that makes them, you know, view the country negatively or, you know, I think I. When I interviewed Charlie, he called it something like deconstruction, I think, was the actual name for. I think. And it's where, you know, in school they just basically take everything apart. They question and take everything apart. And essentially it's like a dismantling and a making a mess of everything, but there's no putting it back together. And there's no. It's like you can break A beautiful sculpture that took, you know, months or years to create in a second, and there's no creating in that environment. And so, you know, I think that this is, you know, I didn't go to university, I didn't go to college. I think this is one of those dangers to, to, to. To the evolution of kids in those formidable years.
- [20:12]
Tudor Dixon
Well, and I, I mean, that's one of the things that we talk about on the podcast a lot is the fact that we've invested, really. We have invested, whether it is financially or just in time, in our children from K through 12. And we've put our values and we've. We've taught them what we believe is right, and we've, We've, you know, we've shown them what our family believes and, and we've instilled that for 12 to 13 years of education and 18 years of life. And then we send them off to one of these radical universities. And I have talked many parents who say, I got a kid back that I didn't know.
- [20:46]
Danica Patrick
Sure. And they're in the rebellious years, too. Yes. So, like, give them some, Give them, feed them that in that environment, in a way, to be rebellious. And they're to go, yeah, like, it's exciting for a kid. I mean, you know, I was a little rebellious when I moved to England when I was 16 for racing, for sure. You know, that's just what a kid does. But, you know, that imagine now that it's information that is not necessarily. Well, it's just, it's just one person's perspective. I'm not saying all of it's wrong. I' all of it's bad, but, you know, it's, It's. It's definitely a dangerous place to be. And especially if, especially if children are not given the confidence to think for themselves, to critical think for themselves and to have confidence. And, you know, there's just so few kids at that age that really do have the confidence to, to question things like that, especially coming a professor. Like, I mean, we're just starting to finally question doctors. Right. And government. And, you know, like, people of prominent positions were like, wait a minute, are you lying to me? Like, of course a kid that's 19 years old is gonna believe the professor. They're a professor.
- [21:59]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Even adults struggle. I mean, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I went to three different doctors, and family members were like, what are you doing? You have cancer, you have to go. Go to the doctor. Just get it done. And I was like, no, I wanna, I Want multiple people to tell me what they think. But we are so used to saying this is the expert. Now you must have been somewhat prepared for the backlash you were going to get because as a 16 year old girl in racing you had to have gotten some of this in the, when you were in the racing world.
- [22:28]
Danica Patrick
Oh yeah, I, I'm, I don't know where I got it from. I think it's my dad, but for, I don't know, my whole life, I, I really honestly don't care what people think. I care on a human level, like especially if I feel like this is the thing. If you don't put the right amount of effort in, if you don't put the right amount of thought in, if you, if there isn't some sort of like intentionality to whatever it is that you're doing and integrity, then for sure people can say things and it'll get to you because deep down underneath the layers you didn't try hard enough, you didn't think about it enough, you followed along. But I, and, and I generally feel like, because I question things because you know, I probably because I did confidence building things from 10 years old, well, earlier than that. I mean I played sports my whole life and did various different activities. You know, I feel like these are confidence building things and I just think I feel grateful. I had great, I have great parents as well. So when it came time to sort of deal with when people originally said, you know, had negative things to say about me saying I love this country, you know, I was, My whole life has prepared me for that and I really honestly just laughed at those people because it just seemed absolutely ludicrous. And that is the point that we're finally at is where we can like watch, you know, the State of the Union the other night and watch how out of touch, unrealistic, ridiculous and, and just nonsensical. The actions are on the left and we're just seeing that across the board. So I think we're in like a really great awakening time to, to that stuff. And I think a lot of it has to do with just getting back to basics being practical, reasonable, rational. I mean these, these, these are, these are fundamentals we're sort of calling back in, in a big way.
- [24:31]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah, that's always been kind of a motivating factor for me too. When someone comes at me, when I do have a basis in what I'm doing or what I'm saying and they come at me and they're like, nah, no, this is not you, then I'M almost motivated and maybe to a faul. When I had my twins and I was in the. Just back into the room and they brought the babies in and the, the pediatrician came in and she was like, don't try to be super mom and nurse these two babies. You're just going to give them a bottle. And then, you know, that part of me in my mind was like, these babies will never have a bottle now because, you know, that's, that's kind of motivating to me to be told I can't do something or I shouldn't do something. But. And, and I think that is something kind of that grit you need to have if you're in this, this space and, and I'm sure in the sports space as well.
- [25:16]
Danica Patrick
Yeah. Where'd you get it from then?
- [25:18]
Tudor Dixon
I think from my dad, also my parents. My. My mom is really tough. My dad was extremely tough as well, and I worked with him in the steel industry for a long time. You know, manufacturing. When you're in a steel foundry, I mean, you've got to prove yourself. I mean, and it's similar, more manly.
- [25:35]
Danica Patrick
Environment, to be honest.
- [25:36]
Tudor Dixon
Yes. Yeah. It is very much a man's world. And you would walk into these meetings, people like, give me a break. And you have to prove. And that was, that was a great training ground for when I went into politics. People were like, you have no idea what you're getting into. And I thought, I mean, it is very snarky and people are very nasty and they do manipulative things, but it's nothing like facing the reality of making products that are life or death products every single day.
- [26:05]
Danica Patrick
Hmm. Yeah. Well, let's just talk about too, just like how important the family is. Nuclear family. I mean, look, we're probably never going to get back to the way it used to be. Where it was large community, you had grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins all around and you all kind of stayed in the same place or even back in the further days of sort of more tribal living. It's probably never going to be like that again. But we see how valuable it is to have two parents. But especially there's a really important role of the father. And, you know, we're also at a point in time where, you know, I guess a lot of times things. The pendulum kind of swings. It's like one way and then it's kind of go way over here and then we find our spot. But this attack on masculinity really is a problem. And when I say like a manly environment Like a steel indus. Like the steel industry. It's fine that it is. Like, women don't want to do that. Like, there's also skill sets that women have that are more conducive to them than men. So let's stop looking at this as like, oh, one does. Like, this is. Everybody should be able to do them. Sure. But, like, they are not going to do. Okay.
- [27:19]
Tudor Dixon
Oh, absolutely.
- [27:20]
Danica Patrick
Attributes of a man and attributes of a women that are going to be different. And thank God. Thank God.
- [27:26]
Tudor Dixon
And my dad was super tough at the office. I can remember when my sister interned and they were like, gosh, your dad is so tough. We feel so bad for your mom. And my sister was like, that's funny, because my mom is, like, brutal at home. You know, my dad is completely. He is completely compliant and whatever. But that was kind of the perfect relationship where, where anything we did, no matter what it was. Even if I could tell my dad didn't fully agree with my mom, he always looked at me and was like, your mother's always right, no matter what it is.
- [27:56]
Danica Patrick
That's what my dad said, too.
- [27:58]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah. I mean, and I think having that backup as mom was very important, you know, and it, it, it instilled in me that there were roles and there was respect.
- [28:08]
Danica Patrick
Yeah. Yeah. And there's a team.
- [28:10]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah.
- [28:10]
Danica Patrick
My. My parents, when they had my sister and I, were only two years apart. So my sweet, sweet sister's birthday today. She's 41. And so we're almost exactly two years apart. But the deal that my parents made was that the first 10 years was going to be my first 10 years of each of our lives was going to be. My mom was the official yes and no for things. And then the second 10 years, dad was the official yes and no for things. Which is actually perfect when you're talking about girls, because when they're young, like, mother is normally taking care of them more and doing more of that work, and then when they're older, they want to do misbehave. And so Dad's like, absolutely not. And he. They. Yep, they. It worked. It worked.
- [28:54]
Tudor Dixon
That is so much nicer than the way I describe it. I always told my mom, well, you were the punisher. And she's like, thanks. But she was, you know, she was. And that's exactly right until we got into high school. And then once we were in high school, she was still pretty much in charge, but if somebody had to step in, then he stepped in. And that was terrifying.
- [29:16]
Danica Patrick
Yeah, exactly. I think that, you know, we should Be a little scared of our parents until we're like up and on our own, at least until we're 18, 20, you know, we should have some level of fear of our parents. They're not our best friends. We're not buddies. You know, my parents and I are now. And if I told you the kind of conversations we have or the things we talk about, it's like so cool to come full circle, but only once you're responsible enough to be able to have those conversations, deal with those things and, and be in a friendship position. But when they're young, like I, you know, I think that's also what so much kept me on the straight and narrow. Like, my dad put the fear of God in me when I was a kid racing. He's like, you ever get caught drunk driving, you lose your license, you can't race. If you ever do drugs, you won't be able to race. And I was like, okay. And you know, it really wasn't true, but it was totally worked. It totally worked. So, so parents are meant to be there to keep their children alive and give them good moral compass, give them into, you know, build integrity. Build and make them have integrity with their decisions and be good human beings.

Almost a year and a half of nothing but war and terror and pain in Israel fighting for their survival against radical Islamists. And all of Israel is brokenhearted after learning of the tragic death of the Phoebus children who are held hostage in Gaza. We all saw the images. It was horrible. So many are still hurting in the Holy Land, where the need for aid continues to grow. Thankfully, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're supporting the families of hostages, other victims of the October 7 attacks and the war that ensued. And with your help, the IFCJ has been able to provide financial, emotional help, help to hostages, their families, and to those that are healing and rebuilding their homes and broken bodies. But the real work, sadly, is just beginning. Whatever you can give, please go to their website. It's one word. It's supportifcj.org supportifcj.org or call toll free 888-488ifcj 888-488ifcj today.

When I was growing up, my parents always talked about your permanent record. I don't know if you ever heard that one. Like, this will go on your per. Like, what is the permanent record? And honestly, back then, I don't really think that there was this permanent record. But now social media is your permanent record.
- [32:53]
Danica Patrick
Man, we're living in a different time. And I mean, there is sort of like that anxious nation wave that came from about, I believe it's 2012 on, when social media really had its sort of like, huge push and onslaught into culture. And it's been very different since. And I think parents have a bigger job than they've ever had to manage that situation because, oh, man, comparison is the thief of joy. And it is at your fingertips every single day, all day.
- [33:25]
Tudor Dixon
Boy, that is such a. That is such a good statement. And that's something I need to say to my girls because it's so true and it's so hard now because you've got, like, the fear of missing out. And kids automatically see, everybody had a sleepover and I wasn't there. I saw it on Snapchat or I saw it on Instagram and, oh, it is so hard. But I think it is. You know, everybody who says, we, no, we gotta take these apps away. We've gotta prevent this. I'm like, you know what? This is their life. We have to figure out how we talk about it. And this is a different. This is just. It's different. But it's also the only way they communicate. This is how they will always communicate, too. You know, nobody's getting on the phone anymore and having their mom pick up the other line and say, time to do your homework. Those days are over. That's the. That's been my argument, too. I'm like, for all the people who say, well, we've got to ban social media for people under 18, I'm like, that's the way they talk, and that's the way they communicate. Maybe we need to figure out how we parent around that.
- [34:25]
Danica Patrick
Yeah, I think that's. Well said. This isn't going away. Just like so many fair AI. I mean, I'm one of them to some degree, but it's like, it's coming. It's coming. Figure it out. Learn how to work with it. Learn how to, you know, get on board. I also am big on energy, and so, like, the more you fear things, the more you're drawing sort of these experiences in, you know, we just. You just have to approach things, you know, differently. You have to understand how to work with them.
- [34:53]
Tudor Dixon
Yeah, that's it. That's true. I mean, even with medical stuff, everything with the healthy, Make America Healthy Again, all of this, I think there is a healthy amount of fear that has caused us to question, which is ultimately science. So there we are back at the beginning, and we're experimenting. But I think that's why people feel like they want to be on the side of people who are willing to question and are willing to make changes. And we appreciate that you're out there every day making sure people know it's okay to do that. So I. And I thank you for coming on here today.
- [35:24]
Danica Patrick
Oh, thank you. Well, I started my podcast, like, five years ago or so, and. And I feel like, you know, I've always got these odd, weird interests and thoughts, and whether it's health or spirituality or the universe or anything like that, or conspiracies. And I've always felt like. I've always said, I'm like, I'm boiling frogs. I don't know, you know, the boiling frogs. It's like if you turn the heat up really slowly, they stay in. If you turn it up all of a sudden or drop them in hot, they'll. So it's like boiling frogs. You're just constantly turning the heat up just a little more and a little bit more just to get thinking outside the box, just to, you know, think for yourself. I think that, you know, we're also in an era where we don't know who to believe. We don't know if we can even trust, you know, a documentary that comes on trying to teach us about things. Because who paid for it? Or, you know, who paid for that study that said that that was. That food is good for you? Well, it's probably, you know, so many of these things we've realized have been paid for by drug companies and companies that are trying to get these foods into our kitchens. And we have to learn how to use our body as a moral compass, as, like, an energetic compass. When things don't feel right, when they don't make sense, we have to start tuning into that because we don't know anymore. And I think we're being called into a much deeper, more internal sort of spiritual practice that I think also was part of much more ancient times. And then industry came along and sort of it creates this disconnect between the body and the mind. And. And I. I mean, I can even remember for myself when I started to practice that for the first time, because with racing and with, again, all the things people say and do, it's like you stay a little disconnected from that. And so when you start to engage with the body again and understand how things feel, you all. You get. You get infer. You get so much more information. And it's true. Like, we can just say, how many times have you. Have you gone against your intuition? And it was right. Like, all of them. All of them.
- [37:28]
Tudor Dixon
Right.
- [37:29]
Danica Patrick
And so scary. I think we're in a. We're in a. We're in a. When they say we're in a spiritual war, I think that it's. That it's going to be won by going inward and really being able to identify what's true and what's not and getting on the right path.
- [37:45]
Tudor Dixon
