Life and Work – in sync
From the Racetrack to the Boardroom
In 2017, I changed my life by dropping weight and adopting a lifestyle of relentless forward motion on two wheels.
But I found that the lessons I learned on the bike—endurance, mechanics, and mental grit—didn’t just change my health. They revolutionized how I do business.
My coaching philosophy is simple: You cannot control the terrain, but you can tune your machine. whether we are talking about your physical health, your leadership style, or your digital infrastructure.
Wisdom is free!
The Lord gives us Wisdom, and all we have to do is accept her.

Pennsylvania
Growing up with limited means, and not a lot of “dreaming support”, I assumed I would never travel or experience new culture first hand.

Racing has its Perks
Racing motorcycles got me into the habit of leaving my region to compete. It eventually led to my moving West – to Colorado.
2006
New Mexico
The economy began its crumble toward 2008 and I chased a job to New Mexico. It was here that I braved the entrepreneur experience, published that first book, and began an official career in training: Free Track Day, Mañana No Mas!, The MSF, uPublic, Ducati, and the South Valley Economic Development Center.
2013
California-Global
Ducati hired me away from myself, and put me on some great stages. Valencia, Spain – Bologna & Rimini, Italy – Cannes, France – Niagara Falls & Whistler, Canada as well as all across the United States.
In 2016 – I made myself available and got recruited by Suzuki, still based in California, but now with opportunities for larger audiences, more diverse product, and travel to Japan.

Lesson Learned
2020
The Pivot to Endurance
Reclaiming my health taught me that ‘Mañana No Mas’ isn’t just a slogan; it’s a survival strategy. Now, I use that energy to fuel Mañana No Mas! (the agency) and mentor others through KurtVonAhnen.com (the coaching). I help clients realize that waiting for ‘tomorrow’ is the most expensive cost in their ledger.
