Jackie is the founder and owner of Heinricher Racing, an elite professional auto racing team. Jackie is an accomplished driver who owns multiple podiums. She launched Booshoot Technology, a successful biotechnology firm, from her garage in 1998. In 2019, she brought the first team of all-female drivers to the ISMA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship.
I first met Jackie in a chance encounter at the airport when we both discovered that we were traveling with carry-on helmets, mine from the Blues and hers from her career as a driver. For this podcast, we spoke at my home in Sun Valley ID.
Live with: “You can’t be what you can’t see.”
