Wolff began kart racing at just eight years old and became a professional racer in 2001. She briefly raced for British Formula 3 before moving on to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for seven years. She eventually made it to F1 when she joined Williams Racing as a development driver in 2012, and then committed full-time to the F1 team in 2013. In 2014, she became the first woman in 22 years to take part in an F1 race weekend at the British Grand Prix. After retiring from professional racing in 2015, she cofounded the nonprofit Dare to Be Different and moved to the business side of racing, assuming the role of team principal and later CEO of Venturi Racing. In 2023, she was made managing director of F1 Academy, a women’s-only racing series. Her debut book, Driven, comes out April 28.

Courtney Smith is an enneagram coach, author, and consultant who works with individuals as well as Fortune 500 companies. After receiving a degree in mathematical economics, she graduated from Yale Law School with her JD and intended to start her career in law. She then decided to change course to consulting, where she worked at McKinsey & Company before transitioning to Condé Nast, briefly working for a real estate start-up, and even considering a career as a doctor. She soon joined the board of Planned Parenthood and received her masters in public health, but was forced to pivot due to the start of the pandemic. After this career shift, Smith, who had used the Enneagram personality system herself, began using the tool to help others. This led to where she is today: coaching and consulting high-profile clients such as Brené Brown and co-authoring the book Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self.
