Sarah Fairfield and Keo Vutheikun-Hood are in the studio this week to share their experiences of being women in the automotive industry and the LA car scene. 

In this candid interview, Sarah and Keo reveal what sparked their car passions in the first place, the biggest challenges of being women in a male-dominant space, stereotypes of “women drivers,” assumptions about car ownership, the need to prove oneself against prejudice, types of women in the car scene, their relationships with men and other women at car meets, managing and balancing between friendship and flirtationship, gender expectations, dating, red flags, perceptions of non-car guys, their roles in the car community, the future of the car scene for women, etc. 

Listen in on this raw discussion with two active members of the LA automotive industry for a daily dose of inspiration and enlightenment!
