In today's episode I have Matt from High Peak Autos/Property/Clothing on the podcast. We had a great chat about YouTube, the motor trade, property and what drives us as entrepreneurs. What really strikes me about Matt is his humility, in the face of his great successes so far. You can tell he'd be hesitant to publicly dish out advice but equally, once we'd stopped filming he seemed to genuinely take an interest in my YouTube progress and shared some real life experience. Highly admirable!

In today's episode of Real Torque, I'm joined by David Gott, owner of The Lovely Car Company and the host of Car Dealer Pro Podcast.
I've been listening to David's podcast since it's inception during the first lockdown of 2020. Over his conversation with car dealers across the country, operating on all different levels, there is so much information to be gleaned!
I was very ill prepared for this interview and it probably shows but I really enjoyed the conversation we had and I hope you will too.
I'd love to get David back on with a bit more structure next time so let me know what I should ask next time!

In today's episode, I have a bit of a ramble and a moan about how the year hasn't started great for me and how it's affected my mental health.
This served as a bit of a vent for me but also I wanted to share the fact that I have suffered with anxiety for years and still managed to be successful. So if you do too, you are not alone!
If you want to hear how I manage my anxieties and stress as veteran of it, then do let me know!

In today's episode, I'm basically waffling about how sometimes we end up doing things for reasons we can't really explain if we stop and think about it. I guess it's scary how easy it is to get caught up and stuck on a path that was meant to be temporary!
