If you want 2026 to be the year your race program finally operates like a professional business, you have to stop "spraying and praying" and start executing with intention. In this episode, Amanda and Megan go behind the scenes of their own planning boards to share the specific business targets, personal milestones, and industry-wide missions they are tackling this year. From massive partnership goals to the "Power of 20," this is the blueprint for a high-performance season that lasts long after the checkered flag.
WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:
-- THE $50,000 PARTNERSHIP CHALLENGE: We aren't just aiming for logos; we’ve set a target to help the racing community secure $50,000 in new partnerships this year through focused, solution-based outreach.
-- THE POWER OF 20: Megan breaks down her "20" goal strategy—connecting with 20 new female industry leaders, reading 20 books, and conquering 20 pull-ups—to prove that personal discipline is the engine behind professional success.
-- RACER ON DEMAND’S 2026 MISSION: Amanda shares her vision to support 100 racers through the platform and the ambitious goal of paying out $10,000 directly back into the racing community.
-- BUILDING BRAND EQUITY: We discuss moving beyond "support" and focusing on entry-level partnerships and creative activations—like dealership events—to build long-term value for brands.
-- THE KNOWLEDGE GAP: With the landscape of sponsorship education shifting, we discuss our commitment to keeping high-level professional resources alive and accessible for grassroots racers.
-- BIG GOAL BREAKDOWN: We share our step-by-step process for reverse-engineering a massive vision into a manageable, year-long roadmap. Learn how to turn "someday" dreams into a checklist of actionable tasks that drive professional results.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: In this episode, we talk about the idea of hosting an in-person event or conference for the racing community. Would you find value in a live, face-to-face workshop to help build your program? Leave a comment and let us know!
