In this episode we were able to catch up with the legend himself, Mr. Evan Turner. At 18 years old, he's taken the drone racing world by storm competing on a national and international stage. Winning his third MultiGP championship and taking home a DRL championship all before he has turned 19 has really been an inspiration to so many. Evan is wise beyond his years and has a lot to say about his journey through life which is quite different than the average 18 year old. 

Enjoy and Happy Holidays! See you guys next year :)
