Geared for Life: Making the Shift Into Your Full Potential
“Once we understand what gears are available to us in life and
when to shift into them, we avoid becoming stuck. Instead, we
keep momentum. The secret to getting to the finish line is
momentum, not some hidden formula for success reserved for
people of a certain background, creed, or color. If you’re overly
focused on the finish line where you hope your dreams await
you, but don’t know how or when to shift along the way, you
might quickly become frustrated, defeated, and stuck. The core
of this book is a collection of my seven gears—my personal
foundational truths—that have propelled me around and over
obstacles thrown in my path that threatened to prevent me from reaching my finish line.”

ENDORSEMENTS
“The success of our Grave Digger team over the last 40+ years isnt the result of luck or
skill. We fought with everything we had for years to keep the dream alive. We learned.
We failed. We won. We lost. But we always seemed to find another gear we never knew
we had to move forward. That's what Geared for Life will equip you to do. Bryce's
perspective is dead on in this book.” -Dennis Anderson, Driver & Creator of the
Grave Digger Monster Jam Truck, Monster Jam Hall of Fame Inductee, and 4X
World Finals Champion
“There is no secret formula to success in motorsports or in anything really. It takes
heart, patience, getting the right people around you, and maybe being a little stubborn
when you’re chasing your dream. This book, Geared for Life, will help you get that
mindset and help you make those moves.” – John Force, 16-time NHRA champion,
Owner and CEO of John Force Racing
“Highly recommended! Geared for Life is a step-by-step guide for anyone wanting to live
a meaningful life and ignite their passions again.” – Criss Angel, world-renowned
magician and creator of television’s biggest magic show in history, Criss Angel:
MINDFREAK

embark on a transformative journey. Throughout the book, Bryce Kenny reminds us that
we are not alone in our struggles, and he provides effective approaches on how to
overcome fears and gain confidence to make a positive influence and live with purpose.
This book equips you with the tools you need to shift into the right gear and unlock your
greatness.” – Lisa Hake, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Great
Clips, Inc.
“Captured my attention from the first chapter. Geared for Life is brilliantly written and
takes you through all the challenges and levels one faces in life from a motorsports’
perspective. Bryce Kenny uses his life experiences as a professional driver to define
how we can look at life outside ourselves and learn how we can bless others. Bryce
wrote this book from his heart, which makes Geared for Life a must read.” – Doug
Kershaw, President, BKT Tires USA, Inc.
