Episode 13: Teaching Philosophy, Empowering through Rally and Rescue Dogs with Dave Carapetyan, owner of Rally Ready Driving School

“This isn’t about race cars. This isn’t about going and being the fastest guy up a stupid mountain. This is about empowering people to find that magic inside of them.”

Dave Carapetyan is the owner of Rally Ready Driving School just outside of Austin, TX. After stumbling on Rally as a teenager when he was trying to make it in as a musician, Dave took a swing at racing and discovered that his real passion was teaching. In this episode, we talk about what rally is really all about for him, the future of the industry, Rally Rescue (the dog rescue arm of his ranch) and some exciting plans to expand his operation in the future. 

There is no great way to capture the magic of this conversation in a short description so take the time to listen to all that Dave has to share. You will not regret it.
