🏎️ Ferrari: The Racing Machine Even A Child Could Draw | 36

Enzo Ferrari was 10 years old when he fell in love with racing… and soon, he would make it his life’s mission. After almost dying in an infirmary during WWI, Enzo schmoozed his way into the driving world. He built an unstoppable racing team for Alfa Romeo… until he got fired, and had to strike out on his own. But thanks to his grit, stubbornness, and engineering instincts, he created a legendary brand that would rise to the top of Formula One racing *and* the luxury car market. Enzo mastered the art of strategic scarcity that underpins the entire luxury sector, but Ferrari’s journey to becoming the winningest team in F1 history—and the most valuable car business in Europe—is marked by contradictions and tragedy (our deadliest yet). Spoiler alert, this episode will make sure you always wear your seatbelt. Here’s why Ferrari is the best idea yet.
