Although she had achieved success in many fields and ventures, she found herself feeling somewhat unhappy and unfulfilled. Realizing that it was never too late to follow her dreams, Carol decided to leave her comfort zone and venture into the unknown in pursuit of her passion. As a result, in 2012 MotoVixens was founded. This new and fresh enterprise would serve as a resource for motorcycle and racing enthusiasts which would ultimately prove to be a catapult for Carol to inspire women and riders across the globe. ​As a female rider, Carol was constantly faced with unique challenges and she consistently sought out ways to tear down paradigms in the sport while overcoming limiting beliefs. This was so riders and enthusiasts could completely focus on the enjoyment of the experience. Carol immediately started developing relationships with dealerships, manufacturers, as well as local businesses and it, suddenly became clear to her that others, not just women, could benefit from collaborating together without initial knowledge of the sport. Through collaboration and building lasting relationships, those involved could further promote and grow their businesses with success.In 2013, MotoVixens collaborated with Ducati Bellevue to host track days with a dedicated session for women riders which was met with great success. In order to expand their reach, MotoVixens began their own track days in 2014 with the goal of hiring elite coaches. This fundamental change would allow men, women, and young riders the opportunity to learn from the best in the industry at their local tracks allowing riders to pursue their passion without having the added expense of traveling and renting equipment. In 2015, MotoVixens partnered with Jason Pridmore of JP43 Training. This world-renowned racer, having won multiple championships is respected within the industry as the riding coach. Jason also serves as the current announcer for MotoAmerica. MotoVixens special events include Jason's current MotoAmerica riders as coaches which provide the ultimate learning experience.​Today, Carol has become an influential figure in the motorcycle industry and focuses her time on giving back to the sport she holds so close to her heart. Through sponsorship, she continues to help riders, racers, and others to find their passion and to fulfill their dreams.Connect with Carol:inquiries@motovixensCheck out all of our interviews: https://titanevolutionpodcast.com/blog/Connect with Travis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nonprofitarchitect/Connect with Carol: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-carpenter-8231a466/Sponsored Links:Podcast TITAN: Are you ready to take your podcast to the next level? https://podcasttitan.com/Iron Dog Media specializes in delivering high-quality, complete media solutions. https://irondog.media/Motovixens: Experience the Difference! https://www.motovixens.com/
