Dust, Grit, and Glory – Ryan Millen on Racing, Resilience & Reinvention

In this high-octane episode of Just Fix It In Post!, I sit down with Ryan Millen, championship-winning rally driver, stunt driver, and off-road legend with motorsport running through his veins. Son of iconic racer Rod Millen, Ryan shares how he carved out his own path—from rally stages in a stock Toyota Rav4 to tearing up desert trails in a trophy truck for the legendary Terrible Herbst Racing Team.

We talk about everything from the evolution of off-road racing to the brutal demands of endurance driving, the marketing magic behind Toyota’s most rugged campaigns, and what it takes to stay competitive in a sport where a flat tire can cost you everything. Ryan opens up about his work in commercial production, his transition from driver to mentor, and how social media and storytelling are now as important as finishing on the podium.

This episode is a deep dive into what it means to live life wide open, both on and off the course. Whether you’re a motorsports fan, a creative professional, or just someone who loves hearing what it takes to build a life around your passion, this one’s a ride you won’t forget. 🏁
