Joe Achilles is a content creator, video producer and podcaster with a particular penchant for reporting the truth and sharing what he really thinks about the cars he drives.
Joining us for the second time 2.5 years after his first appearance in March 2021, Joe updates John Marcar and Miles Lacey on his content-creating journey and shares the story of walking away from the day job to focus on growing his YouTube channel and following.
In doing so, Joe shares a very open and honest account of his career and life so far and brilliantly shares how it's not always as straightforward as many might like to believe.

Goodbye Top Gear, Hello Cyber Truck and... it's the Beginning of the End!

This week, our guest on the Driven Chat Podcast is James Cottingham, the managing director at the world-famous DK Engineering. Located just outside NW London, James and his team at DK Engineering strive to offer a comprehensive service for individuals wishing to buy, sell, restore, race, and store performance and specialist cars. In his own words, James summarises the company's ethos as one that offers 'the complete service'.
In this conversation hosted by John Marcar and Miles Lacey, James openly shares DK's success story, starting with how his parents went from managing a small collection of cars for a select group of individuals to scaling the company to have an international reputation under his leadership.
Before the podcast, James led John, Miles, and photographer Henry on an exclusive tour of the facility to see all corners of the business, which provided many talking topics for the podcast.
