The Couches That Made Us | Ep. 4 | Artie Carpenter
<p>Artie Carpenter grew up racing go karts in the Pacific Northwest. But before he would graduate high school, the happy go lucky racer would suffer loss and heart break. Much more than a couch was afforded to the kid who just wanted to make things go fast and have fun with his friends, and he ended up becoming a member of a family that didn't share his last name. In this conversation Artie and host Tony LaPorta dive deep on the ties that bind them both together, and they celebrate the fact that they are both at the top of their games thanks to a family who invited them both out to come work at a go kart track hidden in the trees. </p><p>Full episode available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts.</p>
