  • Sam Copley: Turning my photography side hustle into my full time career

    Sam has been on the podcast before, but this Sam is a different man. He runs a SOK media company and does professional photography and videography for anyone in the Kent, London and Surrey areas. If you are interested in speaking to him about making your brand pop or have a question about how to make money as a photographer, I'm sure his DM's are open either way. It was great to catch up and discuss mental health, physical wealth and his journey so far.

  • Joana Fidalgo - Women need to be understood and listened to in the Automotive Industry.

    Joana Fidalgo is best known for her work with the intercooler, writing pieces on bikes and giving us her unique perspective on why things work the way they do. I loved our conversation as we talked about subjects as taboo as why women don't feel welcome in the workplace too what stopped her from being creative and using her love for writing before getting her chance. If you are a woman looking for a role model on how to conquer the automotive space and find a career you are truly passionate about, look no further.

  • Spark #27 - Craig Williams: How to live with Parkinson's and still pursue your passion

    Craig not only tells us exactly what it's like living with his disease. But he openly describes what he's going through and how it affects others around him. It's inspiring to hear that Craig isn't giving up. And not only is he not giving up, but he's also pushing harder and faster to make sure that what he is creating and his dream is made and that his mark on the industry we all love, Is taken seriously and not only taken seriously but he is going to revolutionise the way we look at engines, for one man to create this an for one man to do it by himself with limited help from the manufacturer that made the engine in the first place. It's amazing.
