Jimi Day from FM3 Marketing talks about how he went from being an investment banker, to a shop owner, and finally to a marketing company that hosts and promotes motorsports events. His company is most well known for their involvement in the Hot Rod Power Tour, Holley LS Fest, the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car series, and their newest event called Road Trip – Cars & Cones. He took his expertise at writing proposals and took that knowledge to get sponsorships for builds. He emphasizes that you need to be humble and try to continually improve how you do business.
