Just finished it. I’d never heard of him tbh, but it was good chat. Amazing how a career can just take off from nothing.

I think Bob got a lot of flack from the Irish car scene when he got involved in the cars and coffee stuff. Was another lad that runs a dealership down south. Not sure exactly why but got the understanding they were trying to monetize it and the Irish don't link people making money I guess.

Its a difficult one as its his bread and butter. Jonny Smith is doing similar with spectacular results, and I am busting to get to one of his shows.
