Takona Tlks.

This Episode Takona Tlks with Jack Cavanagh, the face of the Stjarna Gloss detailing brand. Jack has become pretty well known for his engaging and entertaining to camera pieces talking about detailing and the brand he's building. It was an absolute pleasure to sit and chat with Jack about where the brand came from, how it's grown and how he ended up filming for Top Gear! We go down into a deep chat about mental health, some of life's struggles, and some ways to manage when things get tough, a true example of how casual chat can be the gateway into a properly meaningful conversation.

We look into the origins of collecting cars and some of Edwards story to how it came about, along with some of the ups and downs of creating a platform from scratch.

This episode Takona Tlks with Charlotte Vowden, freelance journalist for the likes of Hagerty and Mike Brewers Motoring amongst other diverse outlets. Charlotte and I have been around a fair few of the same events and people for the last couple of years giving us quite a bit of familiarity to catch up on. We explore what it's like to be a freelance journalist, life with a classic MGA and how it almost got trapped out at sea, and go down her previous works for the like of the Times.
