Our last Radical Strategies Season 6 podcast recording is a fab conversation with Bisi Ezerioha. It's a fascinating story, starting from Bisi's beginnings in Nigeria, his move to the US, and a deep dive into how he learned automotive engineering in the underground Los Angeles street racing scene. He has plenty of advice about getting started in content creation too. An inspiring chat all in all :>
Bisi Ezerioha is somewhere between a mad scientist, engineering wizard, and mechanical genius. He's built an incredible name for himself by creating some of the most iconic car builds of the decade and by being an overall incredible human. He's built a huge online community by consistently live streaming and answering community questions, and has built a rather successful business out of that as well. As the podcast grows I love to focus on creative unique careers within any industry, and for that reason this made for an incredible episode. Hope you like it!

Most people know Bisi Ezerioha from his outlandishly powerful cars, built in his Ontario shop that he calls Bisimoto. Others know him from his days drag racing Hondas in the 90's and 2000's and others still know him as someone who is a genuinely passionate ambassador for the automotive community. But here's the thing, Bisi wouldn't be Bisimoto without his incredible wife Hedi who pushes him to continually do things bigger, better and different than everyone else.Bisi and Hedi were kind enough to invite Kyle and James out to their shop so that they could sit down, have a chat and tell their story in a way that people might not have heard before. This is a good one, enjoy!
Bisi Ezerioha is best known as being a turbo obsessed horsepower freak who gets his kicks turning out 1000hp minivans and 850hp water-cooled turbocharged classic Porsches. A lot of people might not know that he is also a trained scientist and engineer and that he has more degrees than Phoenix in summer. Bisi got his start modifying cars soon after he got to the US to attend college. His first US car happened to be a Civic CRX and thus his love affair with Hondas was born. This led him down the slippery slope of modifying import cars through the SoCal import boom of the early-to-mid 2000's.Bisi is an incredibly friendly and intelligent guy and we were thrilled to sit down with him and pick his brain to find out what makes him so unique in the automotive landscape. Strap in, this one is good.
