Passion Takes Kart Racer to Award Winning Heights

Posted on March 16, 2025 by Bruce

Inspiring Youth is meant to be just that inspiring! I recently interviewed a young kart racer that at the young age of nine years old has already gained sponsor recognition, dozens of awards, and a name in the competitive sport all due to a passion for racing.

Nate Stockwell became interested in racing through interest from his Father. He began racing on a homemade simulator and found he had an eye for driving and winning. Since then he has spent countless hours improving his skills and now is competing on some of the toughest tracks in North America.

Watch interview with Nate Stockwell

What inspired me most about this episode was that a passion for what you do can take you a long way. I have found in my own life that passion takes you through the downside of starting and learning skills and if you get good enough you will succeed. Follow those dreams and you too will get there, Nate did!

Journaling-The Secret to Being More Creative

Journaling is a great way to be more creative! I was never a journaling type of person however I always kept notebooks and sketchbooks of ideas for cartoons, business, and more. Journaling is more than just writing down ideas, but writing down your thoughts, dreams, goals, or other personal thoughts that may interest you.

Many women and girls have been doing this for decades in the form of diaries so this may be secondary information for them but for many men this isn’t normal activity. There are many benefits to journaling such as the process of writing itself, getting ideas out on paper, and a fun way of retaining your thoughts on paper which may turn into creative projects down the road. To give you an idea Taylor Swift is a prolific journal writer and look at the catalogue of songs and career she has created. I created a short video below for you on my thoughts on journaling.

So pick up a pen, get your favourite notebook and start writing. You may be surprised at what it does for your creativity.

Here we are in 2024 and I again will be attending Youth Community Day in Oakville Ontario. This event is put on by the Dare to Be Youth Group helping young people succeed by meeting with like minded youth. Watch the video below to see what they had to say:

Video recap of the event

The day is really a number of events all in one. The event includes a trade show and entertainment for young people which happens in the lobby area at the beginning of the event. It then moves into a cultural event with messages about inclusivity and togetherness.

A third portion of the event turns into a business competition sponsored by Pythons Pit where students pitch their best business ideas to a panel of judges. The winners can win $1000 in prize money. Watch the video below to see the business pitch competition:

The fourth portion of the event is all about leadership with interviews and discussions with leaders such as athletes, musicians, and leadership coaches.

Then the fun finishes off the event with a concert and dance for the audience. I was amazed at how many young people enjoyed the event and stayed for the full duration of the half day event. I was really impressed attending my first event last year to film an episode of Inspiring Youth TV. Look for more about the event through the group Dare to be Youth Tv and look for the recap on the 2024 event in the near future.
