The Passion Story From The Man Himself – Chip Foose

by 1 Comment

The transition between high school and college may leave some students unclear or struggling with direction in life. Therefore, I thought it would be a good opportunity for you to hear how Chip Foose got his start. Chip is one of the most respected individuals in the automotive industries. His talents and skills are unbelievable and I sincerely believe that Foose is a person anyone would be proud to consider as a mentor. Watch this video, absorb his advice, stay focused on your goals, persevere, and don’t look up until you’re there. Life is going to throw some obstacles in your way. However, go around them and keep moving forward.

I agree with Foose. You’re going to spend a long time doing whatever career you choose. So you might as well do what you’re passionate about. Life is too short not to be happy. I also commend Chip for following the advise that his father gave him. “If you’re going to do something, do your absolute best and do it right, or don’t do it at all.” I’ve personally seen a few of the vehicles that they’ve done on the TV show Overhaulin’ and I can testify that he lives by the words of wisdom his father taught him.

I mentioned in the March newsletter that it’s time to enroll.  Therefore, I thought it would be a good opportunity for you to hear how Chip Foose got his start.  Foose says to follow your passion and take the time to network with others, when the opportunity arises.

If you are interested in an automotive career, I recommend that you take a few minutes to watch the video, and hear the man himself, Chip Foose.
