BONUS: What car does Ford CEO Jim Farley...

Yahoo Finance
About this episode

For some people, their job is just that. But for Ford CEO Jim Farley, his job is his whole world. A car guy through-and-through, he spends as much time on cars personally as he does professionally; whether leading Ford as an American institution, bonding with his son, and even as a race-car driver. It's no wonder that he hosts his own car-themed podcast DRIVE with Jim Farley.

However, Farley won't let passion cloud his judgement: "Even though I love cars and I love racing, I'm a business person." Farley joined Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi on Opening Bid from Ford's Detroit revitalization project, Michigan Central.
