This week, Shift reveals the disconnect between professional drivers/racing drivers and the mainstream media, why he decided to get on YouTube and other similar platforms, how social media fails to cultivate a constructive space for newcomers to learn about performance driving, the misrepresentation of good driving from car journalists and influencers, what emboldens young people to drive recklessly on public roads, the need for manufacturer-backed programs to incorporate qualified professional drivers into today's marketing space, the underappreciation for racing drivers, the overall lack of career opportunities in the car industry, the solutions to combat reckless driving, etc. 

Shifted Perspective is a pro-driver education podcast. Aiming to bridge the gap between industry insiders and everyday car enthusiasts, Shift, a former Engineering Test Driver and current Porsche Driving Instructor, analyzes and shares his unique perspective on a variety of automotive topics in a monologue form. 

Shift is the host of Shifted Perspective, a program of the Sociology of Cars Podcast.
