  • Good podcast

    Interesting to listen to. The podcast is a great idea and you have somer really interesting people on. I would give 5 stars but i can’t listen to the previous pods. I wanted to go to the first pod and listen to them all and it very annoying keeps coming up unavailable. Even the latest one is now showing unavailable. I have reached out on Instagram but had no reply.

Mark McCann: This Bugatti Could Be My Biggest Mistake | EP52
Q: What sparked Mark's YouTube journey and the shift from racing to content creation?
Mark explains that a BBC TV gig and meeting Ryan Taylor introduced him to YouTube as a platform, where he found a supportive community and editors who helped him shape his content. This initial boost shifted his focus from racing to producing documentary-style car videos while maintaining a steady, sustainable growth rather than chasing viral moments.
Taylor from AutoAlex on The Road Trip That Broke Him | EP46
Q: Do you have a piece of advice for your younger self?
Stick to doing what you want to do because you'll always enjoy it more if you do what you genuinely like.
Phil McGovern on Starting Caffeine & Machine, Angry Local Residents and Overseas Plans
Q: What does success look like to you?
Success for me is the ability to balance enjoying life without losing the love affair with what I built it for.
Phil McGovern on Starting Caffeine & Machine, Angry Local Residents and Overseas Plans
Q: Did you have any idea at the time, when this was a bit of a blueprint, if you like, that it would be this successful?
No, not at all; this is 10 years this year, and it had a really interesting gestation.
Paul Wallace: The Real Story Behind Supercars of London
Q: What does success mean to you?
