Why Don't We Take Our Own Advice? | Real Torque Ep 705 Feb 202400:18:29

Send us a text

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!

Mental Health In The Motor Trade - Real Torque Ep 517 Jan 202400:20:34

Send us a text

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!

If you're in the car trade, you need to hear his podcast! David Gott of Car Dealer Pro - Real Torque Episode 415 Jul 202301:20:47

Send us a text

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!

From Unplanned to Unstoppable: Tales of High Peak Autos with Matt Goodwin | Real Torque podcast Ep 315 Jun 202301:05:33

Send us a text

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!
