In this episode of Talkin' Shop, we sit down with Paul Wallace, the creator of Supercars of London, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about the real journey behind his success. From spotting Lamborghinis in Knightsbridge as a teenager to buying his own before turning 25, Paul shares the highs, lows, and everything in between.

We dive into how he funded his first Audi R8, building a YouTube empire before it was cool, what it really costs to own a Lamborghini Gallardo & Murciélago, YouTube burnout, public pressure & stepping back from the grind, the golden era of car YouTube – road trips, friendships, and rivalries, why his life felt like a real-life Need for Speed and valuable life lessons on passion, balance and redefining success.

*Thanks to Paul for coming on the podcast!*

In this episode of Talkin' Shop, we're joined by WelderFabber (AKA Barry Martin or Baz) at his fabrication workshop in Preston, where he shares his story for the first time on any podcast. He talks about how he learned to weld from a very young age, how his Father taught him everything he knows and what it was like, tragically, losing him. He also discusses starting a business at 21 and the series of events that led to it ultimately failing, and the hard lessons he learned from that. He tells the shocking story of getting into an altercation with the mafia while on holiday in Marbella when he was younger, leaving him hospitalised. And finally, talks about the success that his business has seen over the years, including his proudest jobs.
