Speaker 2:
[inaudible]
Speaker 3:
some shows don’t need a celebrity in the right hair to introduce a show, but this show dies to may eight kids co-created by two different women, 13 moat time, million dollar businesses. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the thrive time.
Speaker 1:
Oh boy.
Speaker 2:
[inaudible]
Speaker 1:
yes, yes, yes and yes. Thrive nation. On today’s show, we are joined by kind of a, a living legend here. The the daughter of Dale Earnhardt, sr. Ms. Kelly Earnhardt Miller. She is a, a top business woman in the world of NASCAR and a class act. Uh, Kelly Earnhardt Miller. Welcome to the thrive time show. How are you ma’am?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I’m doing good, interesting times, but I’m hanging in there.
Speaker 1:
Well, you know, when we decided to, uh, uh, have you on the show to talk about your new book drive nine lessons to win in business and in life, um, that was based upon the premise that we could actually be in business, that we could actually freely conduct business. Um, could you share with the listeners where you are located and maybe how your state has been affected by this Corona virus mandated government shutdown stuff?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Yes. So I’m in North Carolina and uh, here just a slightly North of Charlotte, which is between Charlotte and the Capitol of Raleigh is our biggest kind of metropolis. So, um, we have quite a few cases, you know, at each of those places. I think we have about 350 or so cases in the state, which has nothing compared to what some of our other States are dealing with. But, um, this is just also strange and trying and, and, uh, I mean, nothing in my lifetime that I’ve been through anything of the sort. Um, and, uh, so it’s, um, it’s really strange. We, we did not have any specific mandates to not do business. Um, well actually me rephrase that. We do tomorrow starting on Wednesday, the governor shutdown, uh, gems, cinema’s salons, things of that nature. Um, but not every business. Uh, our junior Motorsports, which is our race team, we had been shut down for the last week and we’re closed for at least two more weeks. Um, is maybe some of your listeners, Nairobi, we don’t go back racing until the second week of may, so we have a little time on our hands, but it’s definitely a strange times right now.
Speaker 1:
Um, obviously you’re a hardworking, uh, lady and your, your family’s a hard work and family. Um, and uh, some people I worked very hard and have been able to earn a decent income and some people are in the process of building some wealth. Some people haven’t accumulated wealth yet, but the average American right now, according to Forbes, they’re saying the average American has less than $400 saved, uh, regardless of income, which is an interesting idea. You know, people who’ve like dentist, they might’ve been making some money, but spending a lot to people paying off those student loans. Um, what would you say as an encouragement to the average American ha who, who is without money right now, what would, what would be your, uh, encouragement that you would have? I know you and I share the same faith and I feel like you could really encourage somebody right now.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Yeah. I think that, um, you know, if you’re not turned to the word for sure, um, and, and, you know, put your faith in the Bible and Jesus that he will, you know, see you through and carry you through. Um, it’s even in times like this though, you know, our faith can be tested and, uh, but, uh, you know, he, he comes through and, uh, there’s so many people, um, that, you know, are, are filled with anxiety and fears of what’s going to happen. Um, but, uh, you know, I just, I hope that they’ll, you know, invest in time in, in, in the Bible and it mankind, um, too as well. Uh, because there’s good people out there and there’s people, uh, you know, that they probably are, or their church family or friends or, um, some, some community of people. There’s community of people that are that stand raid a to, uh, you know, encourage and lift and help. So, um, I, it’s, it’s, it’s a difficult time there.
Speaker 1:
You know, when you look at the cover of your book, drive nine lessons to win in business and in life. Um, it, it appears as though, um, you only eat kale. Uh, it appears as though you are a just a healthy woman, a great, great American. So, um, but you’ve, you’ve, you’ve lived through some adversities despite being only 22 years old. So let me just ask you all the things that you have lived through. Um, could you list them and I’m going to fire off a few and you tell me which one was the craziest before this. Do you remember? Y twoK Y two K did we had nine 11, nine, 11. Now this what people don’t know this, the swine flu actually took the lives of, of 12,000 Americans. The swine flu. People don’t remember that. The swine flu took the lives of 12,000 Americans and the, the Swan flu
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
mindfully. But that went right past me, you know?
Speaker 1:
Yeah. We didn’t have social media. We didn’t have social media, which is interesting to swine flu actually infected 60 million people. Could you imagine what it would be like right now if we had 60 million cases of the coronavirus and we had 60 million cases of the swine flu as it was reported by the CDC. Of all of those, which of those other events was the craziest or maybe a different event? It was in your mind, the craziest where the collective emotion America felt was fear.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
I’d have to say I’ve been in my lifetime nine 11. Um, just, yeah, I think so. Um, uh, just for me, um, that would be the fear of, of just not knowing what was next and what was happening. And, you know, we take so many things for granted and that day, traveling and flying and I mean, who would have ever thought that, uh, you know, someone could come into our airport, can take over our airplanes like that, you know. So for me, that’s probably the craziest fearfulness thing that I just remember about watching Kay. Um, since I’m only 47, I’m not, I’m not, I haven’t, I haven’t lived too much of my life yet, but, um, watch U K everybody wanting to hoard, uh, you know, canned vegetables in your basement to run out of food.
Speaker 1:
No, I remember that. I remember that. Now you, um, your, your dad Dale Earnhardt senior senior was, it was a living legend. Um, what was it like to be raised by Dale Earnhardt sr?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I get that question often and my answer is, is always the same. I don’t know what it was like to be raised by anybody else. So, you know, if you’re doing that comparative analysis here, kind of hard to, um, it’s kinda hard to, to throw that question out there. Um, but yeah, or a good answer I guess that other people understand, but, um, you know, we weren’t the typical non-default family, so, um, you know, his work was on the weekends racing. Uh, he was home during the week, um, but, but was busy, you know, working on this farm and doing things like that. So we, we weren’t kind of the typical nine to five family of, of coming home. I’ll eat dinner together or things like that. And we didn’t travel to a lot of the races because my brother and I were in school, so we would spend with nannies and relatives and things like that. Um, and you know, my dad had quite a reputation, uh, mostly the loved or hated him, uh, on Sundays, uh, after the race was over. And so we dealt with a lot of, uh, assumptions and, and different things like that and, and, you know, a little hate here and a lot of love there. And so, um, you know, it was, it was different for sure.
Speaker 1:
For the people out there that don’t know just a whole lot about NASCAR. Why did some people hate your dad? If heaps of people out there don’t have a context for NASCAR. And I have done some research obviously, and then, uh, I’m familiar with your dad’s story, but, but, um, why would your dad be hated as a NASCAR driver sometimes?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, he was, uh, yeah, he was kind of a rough and tumble gas, so, uh, he, uh, would, you know, move people out of the way and rough and kind of was a rough Houser. And, um, so you know, a lot of people or a lot of robberies back in that day, uh, with drivers and Darrell Waltrip and, and some of those guys, Jeff on, uh, where, you know, they would race each other really hard. And my dad was a very intimidating person and kind of, you know, caught it like you’ve seen it. And, uh, so it rubbed people the wrong way, um, at times.
Speaker 1:
So, um, you, would you hear about it at school or would you hear about it at the dinner table? How would you know somebody was mad at your dad?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Usually at school. Um, you know, and we dealt with things like people just assuming that we were snobs or had everything that we wanted and my dad was complete opposite. Um, he made you work and earn anything and everything. Um, it was, uh, you begged to go, you know, school shopping for new clothes that game of the year or, um, things like that because he just, you know, we definitely weren’t just getting anything and everything that we wanted. We had to really work hard for just like, you know, most people to, to earn things. And we had chores and, and allowances and all those things, you know, like a lot of families had these days. So, um, but that was kind of the hard part was people assuming things that they didn’t really know and most of which weren’t true just because, you know, they thought you were famous. And then the, I’m like,
Speaker 1:
what? W when so many people whose parents are super successful, uh, choose to do the opposite of their parents. Um, but you have decided to pursue a career in the man’s world of racing. And I, maybe that’s offensive for somebody out there, but you know what I mean, racing, it’s, it’s pretty much entirely a man’s world or was a man’s world. And I mean, you could have chosen a lot of things, but you decided to hop in there in the world of rough and tumble mechanic, guy’s fingers covered in grease. What made you want to enter into the world world of racing?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, it really was. I mean, I, you know, I was around the shop most of my life as a kid, um, you know, growing up around the race cars and that kind of thing. But, uh, my dad really wanted me to go to college. Uh, nobody in our family had had went to college and graduated from college and my dad quit school in the eighth grade. So he really had aspirations for me to attend college, which I’d be ed. And I started out being a criminal justice major. I was kind of interested in investigative and, and that kinda thing. And um, but about six months into that I decided that it wasn’t really broad enough for me. And at this point I still, I had no clue what I was going to do. It being in the NASCAR world wasn’t even on my radar at that point, but I decided to do business and, uh, just felt like that would kind of be broad if I could own my own business or do anything that I wanted to with that kind of knowledge.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
And so, um, I’ve about three years in the college, I moved from Wilmington back home to Charlotte and started working, uh, finished school up in Charlotte at UNC Charlotte and started working for a marketing company and, uh, that was in racing. And so that’s kind of where I, you know, put my foot in the door and just kind of started on the business side. Um, I also was a race car driver at the time, 1994, five and six. I raised the late model stock cars kind of on your Saturday night racetrack and uh, did that for a little bit. But, um, the business thing really worked out well for me. And, um, I started working in the souvenir business of mass car and for the company that may die cast and sold tee shirts and hats and things like that. And so, um, I just kind of progressed into that and, and you know, really what put me where I am today in terms of running junior motor sports and working for my brother was my dad’s death. You know, I don’t think that had my dad not passed away the same career path wouldn’t have laid out for me. Um, you know, it just, uh, his death, you know, created a need for Dale to, to have someone to manage his business interest because those things were being done by my dad prior to that, with him driving it, don’t incorporate it. So, um, you know, that that opened up and I came to work for Dale and we’ve been doing this together for 20 years.
Speaker 1:
Um, when your dad died, my dad died of Lou Gehrig’s disease three years ago and, uh, when he died, it wasn’t a public thing. I was with him when he died. Um, your dad’s death, people still watch it on YouTube. You know what I mean? Like what’s it, what’s it like knowing that your dad’s death is still viewable on YouTube? You know what I’m saying? Like what does that, what does that
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
weird feeling? Um, you know, because, uh, you know, I literally watching the wreck, um, you know, what goes through my mind when I watched the wreck is my dad’s dying inside that race car. And so my mind is playing out the events of what’s happening, you know, literally it, you know, hitting the steering wheel or whatever’s happening, and when the car comes to rest, me knowing that he’s inside, you know, passed away and, and so it’s a really weird thing to, to continually, you know, see that. I mean, I recently, I watched, uh, uh, Michael Walter, Patti documentary, you know, you see things like that. I mean, it’s kinda replayed in a lot of places for me just because of who my dad was, right. So I don’t go type it in YouTube by anymore, but, um, you know, it’s just kinda comes up in a lot of natural settings, um, natural places. But, uh, you know, it’s a, it’s a strange concept. Um, at the time it happened, it was really difficult because you were sharing it with so many people in the, and you really didn’t feel like you were able, I talk about this a little bit in my book, you know, people coming up and say, Oh God, you know, things I just haven’t been the same since your dad died. And I’m thinking, yeah, me neither, you know?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, no, I, I, you, um, you, you’re, you’re a courageous person. You’re the person who earned the respect of your peers. Um, but I think a lot of people that come from celebrity parents, it’s really hard to get respect. And again, I know I’m not probably the only person out there that’s probably going to take this take. You don’t hear this very much, but I’ve interviewed a lot of really successful people that are second generation and people feel like you’re almost a token. Like, it’s hard, in my opinion, it’s harder for you to earn the respect of your peers than it is for people that, you know, or it could be harder, especially as a female. How did you earn the respect? How long did it take to do that?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
You know, um, I don’t really know how long it took or whatnot. I feel like that in our industry is really, you know, down-home Southern rooted, very, uh, you know, that Southern hospitality that Pat your back, you’re my friend kind of industry the way that it grew from the South. And so I feel like because my dad was the person he was, he was a common sense guy. He was a good business guy. He was a friend to everyone. Uh, you know, well liked, well respected that, um, people, because I got into the business and, and, and showed that, you know, I deserve that respect because of my work ethic and, and things like that. I think it just kind of automatically happened. Um, you know, I think a lot of people, I mean, I get up and go to work every single day. I do exactly what I expect my employees to do. Um, and so, you know, there’s a lot of people that have family businesses where you don’t ever see the family show up. Um, you know, the business has happened in the businesses running and, and you know, three, I’ve literally ran into this myself. I’m like, Oh, I didn’t realize that your brother and sister worked at your business. They’re like, Oh yeah, they’re just on the tight rope.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I’ve seen that.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
You don’t [inaudible] you don’t own respect that way.
Speaker 1:
Now you, uh, felt inspired to write this book. Obviously your new book drive nine lessons to win in business in life. What first inspired you to write the new book?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I really wanted to write about grownup is don’t harvest. And that was kind of the premise of what the type of book I wanted to write. And I was, I was talking to a, we were in a meeting with Dale’s publisher of his book and, uh, I was telling them, you know, about wanting to write a book and this is what I want to write about. And, and honestly, the, the lady looked at me and she said, nobody wants to hear about that. You know, nobody wants to hear about, um, you know, growing up the, of somebody successful or growing up the kid if someone’s successful. And I felt like that they would, because our NASCAR fans are just, you know, you cannot give them enough information about who, what, when, and where, you know, they want to know every detail. And so I felt like that it would be something that would be enjoyable from our crowd.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
But as we got to talking, um, you know, they said, you know, Rob, why don’t you concentrate on your own experiences and, and, and what you’ve accomplished and what you’ve done. And you can, you know, include some biographical information in there about growing up and kind of how you got to that point. But, you know, we don’t want to sell a book about growing up his own heart’s daughter. And so I was like, okay. And so it kind of morphed into this, you know, non lessons and, um, my business experience, and I’m real happy with the way it came out. Uh, even though that wasn’t where my head was in the very beginning.
Speaker 1:
So let’s talk, let’s talk about this here. So your, your book, you lay out these, uh, lessons and I certainly don’t want you to give away all the lessons, you know, but maybe could you share with us maybe a couple of lessons, like one of your lessons, you said you talked about in the book being authentic and approachable. If we could talk about just a few of the lessons, can you tell us about being authentic and approachable and what, what you mean by that?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I think for me, you know, this lesson for me kind of comes from just my experiences even really start and growing up as growing up as my dad’s daughter. Um, you know, you always felt like you had to be, uh, on your P’s and Q’s and, and you know, being the daughter of someone famous, you certainly, you know, weren’t to air any dirty laundry or, you know, nothing negative needed to, to be sad or come out or anything like that. And so sometimes I felt like we kind of lived, you know, behind the facade, uh, a little bit. And, um, so for me, just being authentic and approachable, um, really just means that, you know, being honest, being able to share your truth, um, is very risky because, you know, there’s a lot of rejection and disappointment that can come with that. But, um, I just feel like, you know, being, being who you are, um, gives you the person the most peace and happiness, um, and that’s what life should be about, you know?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
And so I feel like because I had to grow up kind of watching and pretending, so to speak, um, it was really difficult. And, and, and, uh, so I, I just think that, um, it’s important to be authentic and approachable, um, and approachable to me, you know, is like knowing, knowing at my job, knowing my people, knowing being on the floor with them, uh, making myself visible to them as being approachable. Um, and you know, like we just mentioned before, if you’re, you’re on the payroll but you’re never there, here, uh, what’s the point? Um, and so, you know, my people sometimes I’m too, I mean sometimes I put myself in the middle of too many situations and I’ll have people come to me before they’ll go to their supervisor or you know, something like that because they, because I’m so approachable. So sometimes it can get me in trouble. But I think it’s real important.
Speaker 1:
You know, you also talk in your book about managing, managing your emotions. Now what’s really crazy is you sent me a text message right on time today and you said, Hey, you’re still doing the interview. And you did that because I committed to be on the interview and I’m known for being consistent. And you are too. And that’s a fair question. And I was literally on the phone right before when you sent me a text, I saw the texts come in and I was on the phone with, um, certain elected officials that were telling me that we are not allowed to be in business and of any kind. We can’t be open and up for business, um, for what appears to be maybe 15 to 30 days. And I say we, all of my companies, all of the employees, and uh, it just, I mean, Whoa.
Speaker 1:
You know, and then you have those moments where you go, do I actually call her? Do I call, do I actually do it? Do I do it? Do I go cry in a ball? Do I, uh, when did the day my dad, you know, died from Lou Gehrig’s D do you, do you ever get up and do you write the payroll check that week? You know, do you do that? Do you take care of the hundreds of employees or do you throw a pity party when you get that sales call and you get rejected on that big deal you thought would go through when maybe book sales don’t go as well as you want them to, or maybe they go better. There’s these ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. Um, tell us about what your dad taught you about managing your emotions or maybe what you’ve learned about managing your emotions.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I mean, I’ve just learned through the years. You can get yourself in a lot of trouble if you don’t. Right? So, um, and I’ve been there, uh, I wouldn’t say my dad was the best at it, but, um, uh, we kind of have a, a hothead in a sense, a Southern hearts to do. But, um, you know, I think that, uh, I’ve learned a lot of lessons, uh, in terms of, you know, where I’ve upset people or I’ve given responses without understanding all the facts or, or something of that nature. And I think that’s just what happens when, uh, you know, you let your emotion before anything else. And so I think it’s important to kind of slow down and allow yourself to process the thoughts and give yourself time to think through. Like just in this situation that we’re going through with the COBIT, you know, what it is all so scary, but, you know, sit down and think about how we can be part of the solution.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
What can we do, what, you know, it’s real easy just to shoot to the emotional part of it. And then when you start thinking through the facts, and we’ve been doing this for our own work, you know, my first thought is, Oh gosh, we’re not going to be able to, for to pair people. We’re not gonna be able to do this. Right. Me already that. But you know, if you sit down and you gather up the back, then you, you sit down and you crunch the numbers and see what you can do. It wasn’t as scary as, you know, my emotions first thought it was going to be. Um, you know, I think just stepping back and really take in, you know, taking time to kinda look at everything and look at what’s factual, um, uh, we can, you know, we just get a lot further than, than kind of throwing those emotions out there.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Um, and you know, it made me think when you said, you know, do you, after your dad died, do you go in and you write the check out? I lost my mom last, uh, April to lung cancer. And, uh, you know, during that whole process I, I still had to do the right thing and to do the right thing for my mom and help and take care of her, do the right thing for my family, my husband, my kids do the right thing for my work and kind of, you know, prioritize things and put things into perspective in terms of what needed to get done. And people understand that too. I think in those situations,
Speaker 1:
you know, the, uh, in your book you write about, uh, aiming for a win win. And I see so many people that want to, uh, win lose. So you know, if, if there’s so many reporters and interviewers and podcasters and the idea is, well, I’m going to ask Kelly some trick questions and then I’m going to one up her and I’m, and it’s almost makes it where as a guest, you know, you sometimes you almost feel like leery of doing an interview cause you’re like, is this guy going to bait me? You know what I’m saying? There’s a lot of, I’m sure you’ve had reporters do that to you. Yeah. So even as a interviewer,
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
do you want to talk about the plane crash or do you want to talk about X, Y,Z ,
Speaker 1:
right. You know what I mean? And so it’s a win, win. Win win is what makes this great country work. The golden rule, treat others as you want to be treated. We know these things, but it, once you aim for a win win, you know, it is, you start going in the workplace and there’s somebody who maybe you hired or some vendor you’re working with who wants to do a lose, lose or a win lose. They want to win, they want you to lose or they want you to lose and you, and they want you to lose just because they lost. So talk to me about how, how do you, uh, go for a win win? Uh, in a world where some people, if they can’t win, they want you to lose or they want both parties to lose if they can’t win?
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, I mean, I’d be honest, I, I’d just walk away from situation by that. I mean, we, we’ve completely not done deals or, I mean, you just have to stand true to your, you know, ethics and morals, so in, in your gut and what you want to do. I mean, um, it, it, I mean, we will, we will turn and walk away if we can’t, you know, make it beneficial for both parties. So, um, I mean for us, our NASCAR business is built on sponsorship, so it’s always important for them to have a win. Um, and so, you know, that’s kind of the goal for, for in those situations because it drives so much of our business. But, uh, so I don’t, I don’t have to talk about, you know, losing too much because it just the way it works in our business, but, um, I just think it’s important. I think that, you know, relationships last longer. Um, you, you get more out of, uh, the situation if there’s a win-win, uh, in it for, for all parties. So, you know, no matter what you’re working on, whether it’s business or personal,
Speaker 1:
Oh, tell me about your daily routine. I mean, what, what time are you, are you waking up every day? What, what, what do the first four hours of your life look like? They’re Ms. Keller.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller:
Well, six o’clock is the wake up call. Uh, my husband and I spend about 30 to 45 minutes on the couch together, having coffee and reading our devotionals. Um, we each have a, have a women’s devotional book and he has a men’s devotional book that he likes. And so, uh, that’s kind of the first 45 minutes. Um, we usually then I get myself ready. We have a eight year old son, um, and uh, get him up and get going for school, making breakfast, the typical mom thing, um, and you know, gathering things up to get out of the house. And we have to leave the house by generally seven 45 to get to school on time and then straight to work from there. Um, and so, you know, get into work and get into work about eight 30. And, uh, you know, start your day there. Um, it’s kinda my, my normal routine every day.
Speaker 1:
Well, you know, I really want you to have the ultimate win-win. I want, I want to give you the mic to, to share anything with the listeners that you want to share. I want this as your platform. You’ve got to have about a half million people listening. Uh, some of them are taking notes, some of them are going, this is cool. I didn’t even know you were doing this. Some people were going, Oh, that’s what she’s doing. Some people are going, Oh, that’s the lady I’ve seen on TV. You know, some people are going, I’m going to get that book. But what, what is a message you want to communicate to all the listeners out there?
