Michael Cole is a recently retired Automotive executive, becoming the first Non-Korean native to ever hold the position of President/CEO for Hyundai Motors Europe. He has held various senior executive roles across Europe and the US for the likes of Hyundai, Kia, and Toyota, and has overseen a period of growth within these companies during difficult times in the automotive industry through the likes of the pandemic, with continual fierce competition from long established Automotive companies. 

In this episode, we take a glimpse into what it takes to build a successful career in a highly competitive field; Why you should always remain curious and willing to try something new, how failure isn't always as bad as you might think; Why a 5-10 year plan might be hurting your personal development more than helping it, and much more. 

This is not just an episode for the automotive enthusiast.
