10 years ago, Peter Greaves purchased a £200 Sony video camera and decided to have a go at YouTube content creation for a hobby. What started as a humble spare-time hobby filming his own cars and cars from a local car dealer has now become something extremely significant.

Peter's channel 'PetrolPed' has grown to almost 300,000 subscribers, which has enabled him to turn his hobby into a job and fly internationally to film with brands as prestigious as Ferrari.

This week, on The Driven Podcast, Peter joins John Marcar in the studio to share his story and journey and to reveal some of the more challenging parts of content creation.
