20 years ago, JCB, a company renowned for producing agricultural and construction equipment, shocked the world when it unveiled Dieselmax - a land-speed record car that shot to both fame and speed on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the USA, achieving the diesel land speed record of 350.092mph. Now, in 2026, JCB is back at it, only this time, Lord Bamford and his engineers want to set the record with Hydrogen power.The JCB Hydromax is the latest landspeed record car from JCB. Two 800hp hydrogen combustion engines power it, generating an overall power output of 1,600hp and a targeted top speed of over 350mph.Tom Beimish is the man largely responsible for JCB's hydrogen technology and has been an integral part of the Hydromax program. John Marcar speaks with Tom to find out how and why hydrogen is the future for JCB rather than diesel, hybrid, or electric power.Wing Commander Andy Green OBE is a former RAF fast-jet pilot who has spent the last 20+ years at the controls of fighter jets for the Royal Air Force. Now, he's stepping into the driver's seat of Hydromax to push the latest technology to the max and set a new world record.John sits down with Tom and Andy to discover more about this exciting project at a shakedown test at RAF Wittering.Follow the story by following @JCBMachines on Instagram._______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews exploring our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.

This week, on The Driven Podcast, John Marcar meets Tim Woolmer and Jörg Miska from YASA LTD in Oxford, England. In 2005, Tim Woolmer was studying at Oxford University, with a particular interest in the future of motoring, specifically the idea of an electric-vehicle future. His specific area of interest was the Axial Flux motor, and despite the industry being almost exclusively focused on petrol and diesel power at the time, his interest later led to the founding of YASA LTD in 2009.17 years on, and following acquisition by Mercedes-Benz, YASA now produces electric motors for the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes-Benz for both hybridised supercars and entirely electric platforms.In this week's episode, Tim (company founder and CTO) and Jörg (CEO) talk to John Marcar about their career histories, what YASA is doing today, and their thoughts on the future of the automotive sector. _______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews exploring our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.

Are you paying more in taxes than you legally have to? In this eye-opening episode of the 365 Driven Podcast, host Tony Whatley sits down with financial strategist and entrepreneur Rondi Lambeth to unpack the hidden tax strategies, wealth-building principles, and financial systems that many successful entrepreneurs use to legally keep more of what they earn. From growing up in extreme poverty to becoming a sought-after advisor for high-level business owners, Rondy shares a powerful and inspiring journey that completely redefines the way listeners think about money, taxes, and entrepreneurship. Throughout the conversation, Rondi explains why most business owners unknowingly overpay the IRS, how the wealthy legally minimize taxes using strategies hidden in plain sight, and why traditional CPA advice often leaves entrepreneurs stuck playing defense instead of building wealth. He dives into concepts like the Augusta Rule, hiring your children through your business, business structures, asset protection, and why understanding the tax code can dramatically increase profitability and long-term wealth. Tony and Rondi also discuss money mindset, imposter syndrome, scaling premium businesses, and the major difference between serving low-ticket customers versus high-value clients. This episode is packed with practical insights, controversial truths, and actionable financial education every entrepreneur should hear. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or high achiever looking to stop leaving money on the table and start thinking like the wealthy, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about taxes and financial freedom. Key Highlights Why 93% of business owners legally overpay taxes The "Augusta Rule" explained in simple terms How wealthy entrepreneurs structure businesses differently Tax-saving strategies most CPAs never mention The mindset shift required to charge premium prices Why rich clients are often easier to work with How money beliefs formed in childhood impact success Legal ways business owners can pay their children through the company The truth about audits, "red flags," and IRS fear tactics Why understanding tax strategy is critical for long-term wealth building Connect with Rondi Lambeth Website: rondilambeth.com Instagram: rondilambeth.com Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

Sarah Aubrey joins for the first time as co-host of The Driven Podcast as we unpack a record month for EV sales, the ACT's extraordinary 34 per cent EV share, and what the next phase of the federal EV tax break could mean for buyers, novated leases and car makers.

What if the words you use to describe yourself are quietly limiting the level of success you'll ever reach? In this powerful solo episode of the 365 Driven Podcast, Tony Whatley dives deep into the hidden mindset traps that keep entrepreneurs stuck—especially the subtle ways we sabotage ourselves through language, comparison, and misplaced humility. If you're a business owner striving to grow, scale, or simply break through your current ceiling, this episode delivers a direct and eye-opening perspective you can't afford to ignore. Tony challenges the popular belief that "comparison is the thief of joy," offering a bold reframe that will push you to rethink how you view other people's success. Instead of shrinking yourself or downplaying your progress, he emphasizes the importance of owning your journey with confidence and pride—no matter where you are right now. Throughout the episode, he unpacks how "unnecessary humility," negative self-talk, and even judging others' success can create subconscious barriers that hold you back financially, professionally, and personally. He also calls out the most common excuses—like lack of time, money, support, or background—and replaces them with a mindset rooted in accountability, growth, and possibility. This episode is especially relevant for entrepreneurs who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by slow progress. Tony delivers tough love with actionable insight, encouraging listeners to take ownership of their results, invest in themselves, and surround themselves with the right influences. If you're ready to shift your mindset, elevate your standards, and start aligning your words with the success you truly want, this episode will challenge you—and change the way you think. Key highlights: Why the way you describe yourself can either accelerate or sabotage your success The hidden danger of "unnecessary humility" and how it lowers your perceived value A bold reframe on "comparison is the thief of joy"—and why that belief may be holding you back How judging successful people can subconsciously prevent you from becoming one The link between language, belief systems, and self-sabotage in business and life Common excuses entrepreneurs make (time, money, support) — and how to eliminate them for good Why successful people still value the journey—and how to own your current level with confidence The difference between inspiration vs. insecurity when you see others winning How your environment and social circles influence your mindset around success Why taking full accountability is the turning point for growth in business and life The importance of continuous learning and skill-building in today's digital world How your subconscious programming shapes your financial and professional outcomes Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

Are you being inspired at business events… or unknowingly being sold to? In this eye-opening episode of the 365 Driven Podcast, Tony Whatley pulls back the curtain on the real business model behind speaking events—and what every entrepreneur needs to know before buying a ticket. Drawing from years of experience as both a speaker and event host, Tony shares unfiltered insights into how these events are structured, monetized, and marketed. From high-ticket mastermind retreats to low-cost conferences packed with back-of-the-room sales pitches, Tony breaks down the different types of events you'll encounter in the entrepreneurship and personal development space. He explains why cheaper tickets often come with heavier selling, how emotional marketing tactics influence purchasing decisions, and why not all stages—or speakers—are created equal. This episode also dives into the hidden dynamics most attendees never see: speakers paying for stage time, affiliate commissions behind the scenes, and the stark difference between community-driven events and profit-driven productions. Tony challenges listeners to rethink what value really looks like when investing in events—and how to spot red flags before swiping a credit card. Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just stepping into the world of entrepreneurship, this episode will equip you with the awareness and strategy to choose the right rooms, avoid costly mistakes, and invest in experiences that truly move the needle.  If you plan to attend events in 2026, this is a must-listen first. Key highlights: Why speaking events are designed as business models, not just learning experiences The truth about low-cost tickets leading to high-pressure sales pitches How emotional marketing and scarcity tactics influence buying decisions The difference between mastermind-style events vs. pitch-heavy conferences What really happens behind the scenes with speakers and commissions Why some speakers pay for stage time—and what that means for attendees Red flags to watch for when choosing which events are worth your investment How to identify events focused on community and value vs. profit and upsells The importance of setting expectations before attending any event How to choose the right room, right people, and right experience for your growth Connect with Tony Whatley: Website: 365driven.com Instagram: @365driven Facebook: 365 Driven

How do you make your personality shine through as soon as you hit record? The podcast world is always evolving—that's what happens when a baby industry grows up! For better or worse, audio-first media is changing constantly, and the latest shift involves Amazon's decision to shut down the Wondery podcast studio. This kicks off a move away from those shows heavy on the music, sound effects, and research, toward more personality-driven podcasts. Like yours! This is great news, because that special kind of pod that people tune in to for the host (which recent research shows is the listener's favourite part) will get more space on their app. It also means you'll have to work even harder to make sure your on-air personality is unique and your show stands out from the crowd. With that in mind, Mary shares three tips for getting your voice ready to resonate.

This is not the episode I had planned for today, but I had a question come up in a conversation with a client recently and it gave me a desire to do something a little behind the scenes. So that's what we're going to do today. I'm going to take you into the aftermath of my mid-year review.During their mid-year review, my client asked some really great questions about how I make decisions around what to do next with my own show. And I thought this would be an opportunity for me to really practice transparency and take you into my own thinking as I share my three goals for the back half of this year.What I want you to understand before we get into this is you're going to notice that the why is often sales-driven. And I want you to use that as the permission slip to make sales-based decisions more frequently in your own show. Because in almost every case, it ultimately comes down to sales. It is an offer first situation.

“There's nothing wrong with Ellen. It's just that she loves too much.” We watched “Leave Her to Heaven” with our friend Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven,” and we're still trying to figure out a way to get Gene Tierney that Oscar. This Technicolor psychological thriller really has everything: melodrama, film noir, allusions to Greek mythology, and most importantly… that face! Not a soul can clock. Gene Tierney is really serving it up throughout this movie, and we just have one thing to say - congratulations on that face. Gene's femme fatale portrayal of Ellen sets the standard for Black Widows for years to come. Let's face it - Ellen Berent Harland threw herself down the stairs so Amy Dunne could, well… “Gone Girl” herself. So many “women's pictures” owe a great debt to “Leave Her to Heaven.” Would we have Divine's impeccably decorated Baltimore home in “Polyester” without it?

“Children can be nasty, don't you think?” We watched the camp classic “The Bad Seed” from 1956 this week with Emily Ollero Jones from the podcast “Female Driven”, and what will you give us for a basket of kisses? Of all the bad-ass bitches in cinema history, there isn't anyone quite like Rhonda Penmark, played by Patty McCormick. Rotted to the core, Rhonda is a child serial killer and psychopath who manipulates all the adults around her.  We wouldn't have Damien Thorn from “The Omen”, Esther from “Orphan”, or Mac Culkin in “The Good Son” if it weren't for Patty McCormack's iconic performance. First published as a novel in 1954, to a Broadway play the same year, then this Mervyn LeRoy-directed movie in 1956, “The Bad Seed” shocked audiences with an ad campaign that promised to goop and gag its viewers. Oscar-nominating all three of its actresses who came from performing it on stage, “The Bad Seed” has some incredible performances by Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack, and Eileen Heckart. We're here to tell you this movie still operates at a ten and doesn't let up for its over two-hour run time.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social   Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram Peterlasagna
