Welcome to Season 4 of If I’m Honest with Julia Landauer.

In this special kickoff episode, Julia shares the personal and professional journey behind the evolution of the podcast, from stepping away from a 20+ year racing career to rebuilding identity, purpose, and life outside the driver’s seat.

Julia opens up about the grief and uncertainty that came with leaving racing behind, the lessons she learned navigating corporate life at NASCAR, and why moving back to New York after a decade in Charlotte felt like coming home. She also reflects on the growth of If I’m Honest, from solo episodes about confidence, rejection, and external validation to candid conversations with incredible guests across industries.

Season 4 is entering a new era: honest, in-person conversations with people who are building meaningful things; businesses, careers, brands, art, communities, and lives they’re proud of. Expect conversations about ambition, setbacks, resilience, reinvention, and the realities behind long-term success.

This season features corporate leaders, creatives, founders, producers, athletes, scientists, and more, all sharing the lessons they learned while building something meaningful.

Buckle up. We’re just getting started.
