The Man Behind Moto's Most Iconic Videos Is Building Something BIGGER | Wes Williams

Wes Williams joins us for Chapter 394 of the Gypsy Tales Podcast. Wes is one of the most influential creative forces in motocross — from the James Stewart helicopter shoot that broke the internet with 8 million views, to building Vurb Moto into the go-to content platform for amateur racing, to now launching the Prospect App, a tech platform that's changing how the entire amateur motocross ecosystem works.

In this chapter Wes opens up about putting every dollar he had into a movie he thought would make him a million, the Red Bull projects that launched his career, why he walked away from being the top filmmaker in the sport, and what he's building now with Draft Day — a sponsorship platform connecting brands directly to amateur riders for the first time.
