Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

028 - Rod Emory
Q: What are the key challenges and decisions in scaling a boutique car shop?
Key challenges include balancing authenticity with modern performance, deciding when to billet versus cast engine blocks, maintaining serviceability with factory parts, and building a tight, family-driven team; they've navigated these by developing in-house components, leveraging Porsche parts where possible, and expanding facilities to improve delivery and quality of life for clients.
028 - Rod Emory
Q: How did Emory Motorsports start and grow into its current form?
Rod describes starting with a single customer in 1992, building cars for high-profile tech figures in Silicon Valley, then expanding into a full-fledged shop focused on vintage race cars, engines, suspensions, and eventually bespoke restorations that blend Porsche heritage with modern performance, all while keeping the business family-run.
027 - Bisi Ezerioha
Q: What sparked your interest in cars and how did your background influence your path?
Bisi explains that his love for automobiles came from a family of engineers and scientists in Nigeria, which fostered curiosity and practical tinkering from a young age. This environment helped him pursue a technical path in petrochemical engineering and ultimately led to hands-on innovation in BISIMOTO projects.
014 - Larry Chen
Q: How did you get started in photography and fall in love with cars?
Chen describes a lifelong passion for driving and modifying cars, followed by discovering photography as a natural way to tell car culture stories; early experiences with a 240Z and a camera in Southern California set the path.
