The Car That Rebuilt Us
Who doesn’t like stories, especially ones that inspire us? In this episode you’re going to hear the true story about a father, a son, a clunker car and a 5,000-mile road trip that rebuilt their relationship.
Ruchin Kansal is a leadership educator, advisor. But I’ve brought him on the program because he’s the co-author of The Kansal Clunker: The Car That Rebuilt Us. His Son Neil Kansal is a certified EMT and lifelong car enthusiast, he rebuilt his first clunker at sixteen and drove it to the highest motorable road in America.
