For well over a decade Rob Ferretti has been entertaining fans with his automotive antics. From his cross-country rally runs and project car challenges on his 800k strong Super Speeders YouTube channel, to informing and educating the world on what it's like to run Gotham Dream Cars, a premier exotic car rental agency, Rob has a way of completely cutting through the B.S. as it pertains to automotive culture. This week Rob sits down with Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ host Mike Musto to touch on how he got started as an online personality, and then ultimately what it's really like when it comes to placing the public behind the wheel of some of the most exotic cars on the planet. We also dive into how the economics of the business work, the clientele, and then finally, what happens when things go south behind the wheel.
This week on Business Class, we have an entrepreneur and founder who's as fast on the road as he is cooking up crazy content. After finding his need for speed as a teen, Rob Ferretti started Super Speeders, a cult DVD series that he turned into one of YouTube's early and much-loved channels with a simple vision: Wild videos of people driving cars very fast. Rob's success online helped him discover that people are fascinated with exotic cars so much that they're willing to shell out big money to rent them for a short amount of time. This discovery led to Rob and his partner's founding of Gotham Dream Cars, a very successful global exotic car rental service. Rob came on the show to talk about goal setting, the challenges of content creation in a pre-YouTube world, why people pay big bucks to rent cars, and much more. Buckle up.
