On episode 11, join Sean and Haris as they interview 3 guests from Colorado while at TX2K. They discuss a number of topics mostly revolving around content creation in many different forms in addition to growing your brand. With 5 total people on the microphones, the topics range all over the place but eventually finish with everyone choosing their daily vehicle, their track car, and their show care.

Sean and Haris recap the remainder of the TX2K weekend which included a Mustang absolutely taking off with 4 wheels off the ground, the night scene of the Texas community during TX2K, and what a proper takeover looks like in the car scene.

On todays episode, we recap the events that have taken place during TX2K. Sean and Haris have had an eventful week, and it is only Friday... that said, we dropped the Durango. Literally. We saw a very special gated Gen 2 R8 which also had twin turbos. We discuss the quick behind the scenes tour we had at Mclaren where we saw a 1 of 15 720s GT3X. Overall, checking out the local scene has been a blast!

Mike Johnson joins us to discuss the notorious orange Mustang that has grown quite the following in last year. He takes us through the build of the 10 speed 5.0 which often catches people by surprise if they don't recognize the car and its reputation. Mike describes his journey from the Subaru life into the world of V8s and why it suits his purposes. We also discuss the perception of being seen as cocky (despite being an easygoing individual) and how he uses his Mustang for "research" purposes against stage 2 Subarus, angry CTSV owners, and more. The discussion also compares the street racing versus tracking racing lifestyle and the opportunities that have arose ever since the switch. The group also discusses how the following grew so rapidly and how others can do so as well.
