More North Carolina for us.  Outside of the heat, the south isn't really what I expected, which I think is a good thing. Today we interviewed Max Siegel, head of Dale Earnhardt Inc.  This is a man who runs a multi-billion dollar company, oversees merchandising, racing teams, even a small air flite, and here he was inviting us into his home.  Offering us breakfast Saturday morning with his wife and kids.  It was nice to see someone so important in a "home" environment.  It makes you realize that they are just people. We've been visiting people in their offices and in their studios, places of work, etc.  This was the first interview we've done in someone's living room.  It gave everything a more personal feel.  Max has an amazing story and to speak with someone who has been so successful in so many different fields was really inspiring.  Despite his accomplishments he was tremedously humble which is something to always aspire to.  In reflecting on his success, Max attributed much of it to being true to himself and following his internal compass. He said you have to make choices that "feel right."  If it doesn't feel right, you shouldn't be doing it.  I've done a lot of things that didn't necessarily feel right.  I've just done them because I thought I was supposed to, or had to, or it was what was expected of me.  Max said to follow your internal compass because it usually leads you where you need to be.  I'm going to start doing that.  Wonder where it will take me...
