Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're joined once again by Mickey Andrade for a look at the next chapter of his automotive journey. Since his first appearance on the show, Mickey has officially launched Roundcat Garage—a passion-driven business focused on building, restoring, and refining right-hand-drive legends while creating products and content for enthusiasts around the world. We dive into what it's really like to leave behind a successful career and start over from scratch, the challenges of running a one-man shop, and why building cars for yourself can be both the most rewarding and most demanding path. Mickey also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at an upcoming SEMA build, his growing lineup of Skyline and JDM projects, new product development, and the vision for Roundcat Garage over the next several years. The conversation also explores the creative process behind launching a brand, why staying passionate is the key to longevity, and Mickey's plans to return to Japan for even bigger projects. If you've followed his work over the years, this episode is an honest look at what it takes to reinvent yourself while staying true to the passion that started it all.

Tech workers can be rigorous at work and surprisingly loose with their own money. After more than 200 coaching sessions, Vaibhav Goel keeps seeing the same patterns: too much wealth tied up in one company's stock, excess cash sitting idle, missed tax-advantaged accounts, and generic advice that does not fit high earners.In this episode, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Vaibhav Goel, a former product leader at DoorDash, Google, Lyft, LinkedIn, and Microsoft who now coaches tech professionals on their finances. They unpack what changes at different net-worth levels, how to think about 529s and concentrated equity, why traditional advisor models can miss this group, and what a more practical financial plan can look like.They explore the most common money mistakes he sees, how priorities shift at different net-worth levels, plain-English breakdowns of things like 529 accounts and long-short investing, why traditional advisor incentives leave a lot of tech workers underserved, and how to think about diversifying a portfolio that has become dangerously concentrated in one stock.If you're a tech worker who optimizes everything at work but defaults on your own finances, someone sitting on concentrated company stock and unsure what to do next, or anyone curious how the newly wealthy actually handle sudden money, this episode is for you.This conversation is for education only and is not personal financial, investment, or tax advice.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we're throwing out the rulebook and sharing some of our most unpopular opinions from the JDM world. Some you'll agree with, some you'll absolutely hate—but that's what makes it fun. We debate everything from whether the Autech R33 GT-R Sedan is the coolest RB26-powered car ever built, to why over-modifying a car can actually make it less enjoyable to own. We also discuss up-badging, why tire choice says more about a car owner than most people realize, whether K-trucks are actually overrated, and even question if most '90s cars were really as good-looking as we remember.It's a laid-back episode full of hot takes, nostalgia, and plenty of friendly debate as we challenge some of the beliefs that have become gospel in the automotive community. Whether you agree with us or completely disagree, we want to hear your own unpopular opinions. 

In an age dominated by algorithms, outrage, and endless scrolling, what does it mean to become a truly human person?   John Heers joins me for a wide-ranging conversation on modernity, the crisis of meaning, internet Orthodoxy, the rise of the "Orthobro," and why so many people are searching for identity. We discuss how social media shapes the soul, why information alone cannot heal us, the Orthodox understanding of the heart, and how genuine community—not merely online discourse—forms us into the people God created us to be.   John argues that the greatest struggle of our time is not merely political or cultural, but deeply spiritual.   Finally, we dive into one of John's favorite topics: the Supra. More than a shared meal, it has become a living expression of hospitality, friendship, and the kind of embodied community that modern life has largely forgotten.   If you've ever wondered why so many people feel disconnected despite being more "connected" than ever, this conversation is for you.   About John Heers:   John Heers is the founder of First Things Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening communities through hospitality, cultural exchange, education, and authentic human relationships. His work has taken him across the globe, serving as a Peace Corps water resource manager in Mali, directing emergency relief efforts in the Republic of Georgia following the Abkhazia conflict, working in international development in Haiti, and teaching for nearly a decade in the South Bronx and Harlem. He also helped found Seacrest Country Day School in Naples, Florida.   Today, John hosts the Heavy Things Lightly podcast and continues his work through First Things Foundation, including the Art of the Tamada, international field work, and Keipi Restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina—a nonprofit restaurant introducing guests to the rich tradition of Georgian hospitality. His work explores how the wisdom of the Old World can help heal many of the cultural and spiritual crises of the modern West.

What does it actually take to move an entire company from handwriting PRDs to shipping features with agents in two years?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Alex Meyers, Principal Product Manager at Gusto, to trace how the company became AI-native from the inside. Alex shares how his own quiet tool use turned into a C-suite demo, why that demo made clear that you cannot simply mandate “be AI native,” and how PM AI hackathons became the ritual that moved the org forward.They explore why dedicated, uninterrupted build time beats an hour here and there, why the ritual has to recur as the tools keep changing, how roughly three-quarters of the PM org now merges pull requests, and where Alex thinks the work is heading as loops and goals let PMs spend more time on customers and taste.If you're a product leader trying to raise your team's AI fluency, a founder deciding how much structure to put around learning, or an operator wondering what the PM role becomes when agents handle the busywork, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Chris Gomes set out to hire four AI product managers. Seven months later, his biggest lesson was not about AI at all.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Chris Gomes, VP of Product at Conveyor, the Series B startup that automates responses to security questionnaires and RFPs. Chris walks through the seven months he spent hiring four AI PMs, why he spent so long defining what an “AI product manager” even means, and the realization that culture fit, not AI skill, was the thing that actually predicted success.They explore how he rebuilt a stalled interview process by pulling the most important screens to the front, the MOC framework he uses to map each interview step to specific competencies, his case for work trials and customer role-plays, how he treats references and back-channels, and why the gut-level question of whether you'd enjoy working with someone deserves more weight than most rubrics give it.If you're a hiring manager trying to run a tighter, higher-signal process, a founder thinking about your first product hires, or a PM preparing for interviews and wondering what teams are really evaluating, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Alan and Lupe from the J Spek Projekt to talk about the powerful connection between military service, brotherhood, and the JDM community. What started as a shared passion for Japanese cars has grown into something much bigger—a network of veterans and enthusiasts using cars as a way to reconnect, heal, and support one another. We hear how both Alan and Lupe found their way into the automotive world, from deployments overseas and discovering Japanese car culture to building some of the cleanest, most well-known project cars in the community. They share the story behind the J Spec Project, the idea of "Boost Therapy," and how a simple cruise with friends can be just as valuable as any formal therapy session. The conversation also dives into the changing car scenes across the country, from Florida to Utah and Oklahoma, the friendships built through JDM culture, and why preserving the sense of community is just as important as building the cars themselves. Whether you're a veteran, an enthusiast, or both, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the best therapy is a full tank of gas, a winding road, and good people beside you.

This episode contains some screen sharing so it's best watched on YouTubeWhat happens when one product leader decides to stop copy-pasting between chat windows and instead build an operating layer that puts coding agents in the hands of an entire company?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Kyler Ross, Head of Product at Cloaked, to walk through the internal “harness” he started building last Thanksgiving: an agent-friendly system of context files and scripts that lets agents read from and write to the team's real tools. Kyler explains how it gets installed on every company machine, why he treats each new agent session like onboarding an employee, and how a self-improving loop of skills and automated reviews keeps it getting better.They explore his day-to-day setup for running many agents at once, why worktrees and Claude Code hooks exist to make failure nearly impossible, a one-on-one prep skill that pulls context from every corner of the company, and the layered guardrails, including a nightly “librarian” agent, that keep confidential information from leaking.If you're a product or engineering leader trying to make your team more AI-native, someone wiring agents into real workflows, or anyone wrestling with how to run agents safely at scale, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we tackle a topic that's been at the heart of car culture for decades — exhaust systems. From the early days of bolt-on mufflers, Pep Boys fart cans, and local muffler shop specials to today's high-end titanium systems, we discuss how exhausts have shaped the way we experience cars. We dive into the iconic exhaust brands that defined generations of enthusiasts, debate canisters versus oval mufflers, and share our thoughts on what makes an exhaust truly great. Along the way, we discuss everything from old-school HKS systems and Mugen classics to modern handcrafted titanium setups and the differences between mass-produced and custom-built exhausts. Of course, we also get into the age-old question: Is an exhaust about performance, sound, appearance, or all three? We share stories from our own builds, compare some of our favorite systems, and talk about why the sound of a car can be just as important as the horsepower it makes. Find us on Facebook groups - RHDGUYS-JDMBOYSSocials - @RHDGUYS Merch - http://RHDGUYS.COMWant a discount on Nissan parts?Use code "RHDGUYS" athttps://nizmopartsplug.comNeed An ECU?

What does it take to walk away from a decade in product, and a job most people would envy, to bet on yourself?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Peter Yang, who just left his product lead role at Roblox to go full-time on his newsletter and podcast, Behind the Craft and build his own projects. Peter talks through the trade-offs of solopreneur life, why his calendar is suddenly empty, and how he uses an AI personal advisor with three principles to decide what to say no to.They explore his day-to-day AI builder stack, from running Codex as a daily driver to using Hermes for his recurring scheduled tasks, his working definition of slop and why he guards against it, and what he's actually measuring as success now that nobody is handing him a promotion.If you're a PM weighing whether to leave a stable job to build on your own, a creator trying to scale output without sliding into slop, or anyone wiring AI agents into their daily work, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What does it take to bring AI into businesses that run on physical work, human judgment, and processes nobody has ever written down?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Noah Levin, founder of Serious People, to unpack what he calls being a “free-range AI consultant.” Noah explains why most of his work is business consulting from first principles rather than AI consulting, why agents still need humans to deliver real value, and how he groups AI for any company into three buckets: a coworker, an operator, and a product or engineering capability.They explore how AI is collapsing the distance between a conversation and a working prototype, why the new IP is business judgment instead of code, why he believes everything is becoming product management, and the humility it takes to solve problems on a client's terms inside companies that aren't, and shouldn't be, run like tech startups.If you're a product leader figuring out where AI actually creates leverage, an operator weighing whether to go independent, or a builder realizing that distribution now matters more than the thing you build, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Eli Tacker from Nashville, Tennessee, to discuss one of the most impressive Honda projects we've ever seen — his painstaking recreation of the legendary Gathers Honda Civic race car.What started as a dream turned into a four-year journey of research, sourcing rare parts, and obsessing over every last detail. Eli shares the challenges of replicating one of Honda's most iconic race-inspired liveries and how he stayed committed to authenticity throughout the build process.We dive into the history and significance of the original Gathers Civic, the hunt for hard-to-find components, and the satisfaction of finally unveiling a project that captures the spirit of a true JDM legend. The result is more than just a replica — it's a tribute to an era of Honda motorsports that continues to inspire enthusiasts around the world.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, Aaron and Bobby dive into one of the wildest automotive concepts we've seen lately — Uber Drift. We break down the idea, the cars involved, whether it's genius or gimmick, and what it says about how drifting and car culture are becoming more mainstream than ever before.We also take a deep dive into the surprisingly massive role Yamaha has played in the development of some of our favorite JDM cars and engines. From high-revving performance motors to legendary cylinder head design and engineering partnerships, Yamaha's fingerprints are all over Japanese automotive history — even if most enthusiasts don't realize it.From sideways Ubers to precision Japanese engineering, this episode blends modern car culture with the technical history behind some of the greatest JDM machines ever built.

Brain Drain Episode 72 with Forde Brookfield & Toby Batchelor

What if the thing holding you back from posting isn't laziness or a lack of ideas, it's that nobody ever told you the cringe feeling goes away, and what it actually looks like to build trust with an audience without burning it?In this special episode of Supra Insider, Ben Erez sits down with Hilary Gridley, creator of the Maven course “How to Become a Supermanager with AI,” and Mallory Contois, former VP of Growth at Maven and founder of The Old Girls Club, for a candid conversation about self-promotion, audience building, and the surprisingly practical mechanics of showing up consistently online without losing yourself in the process. Hilary published a guest post on Lenny's Newsletter the same morning this was recorded, and that pipeline, from writing to course to full-time career, is exactly what the conversation unpacks.They cover why trust is the most durable professional asset you can build, how to think about the value exchange between creator and audience, why the psychology of “doing work in private and handing in the final product” makes content creation feel so unnatural, and what both of them actually do to stay consistent without spiraling into algorithm-chasing. Mallory drops a deceptively simple Apple Notes system for never running out of ideas. Hilary makes a sharp case for starting with a talk instead of a newsletter. And both of them are refreshingly honest about the fact that posting still feels mortifying sometimes, and why you should do it anyway.If you're a PM, operator, or founder who has been sitting on the sidelines of content creation because it feels cringe, trying to figure out which platform to start with, or building an audience and wondering how to grow it without compromising the thing that makes your voice worth following- this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Weller, a Brunswick, Maine native and longtime car enthusiast whose journey through the automotive world has taken some interesting turns.With deep roots in Mazda motorsports, Jeremy shares his background in racing and performance, and how that foundation shaped his passion for cars. Recently, he made the jump into the RHD world with his first right-hand-drive car — a Mitsubishi Evolution IV — marking a whole new chapter in his enthusiast journey.We talk about the transition from track-focused builds to JDM ownership, what drew him to the Evo platform, and how his experience influences the way he approaches cars today.

What does it actually mean to bet on yourself, and how do you know if the game you're playing is really the one you want to be in?In this special episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez record together in person for the first time, sitting down at a studio in New York to have an honest, unscripted conversation about optionality, partnership, and what they've learned from building Insider Loops over the last seven months. They open with the question hanging over a lot of high-agency people right now: with AI making it easier than ever to go from idea to product, should you leave your job and bet on yourself? Marc names the only full-time role that genuinely tempts him, Anthropic, and then explains exactly why he still wouldn't take it. Ben unpacks why he accomplished 20% of what he was capable of during his full-time years, and what changed.They go deep on why bootstrapping is harder than raising VC money, but why the constraints force the kind of market discipline that most funded companies never develop. They map out their complementary skill sets, how they've shifted from long-term planning to weekly cadence, and why they now think planning more than a week ahead is mostly a waste of time. The conversation closes on the role of the podcast itself, why it has to stay separate from the business, why fun is an emergent property and not a frivolous goal, and why the relationship comes first.If you're weighing whether to leave a stable job and go off on your own, curious about what a bootstrapped partnership actually looks like day to day and what makes it work, or just want a rare honest conversation between two builders about what they'd do differently and what they wouldn't change, this episode is for you.A special thanks Alex Pavlou and the team at 28th & Park for the recording space!All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What if the most important skill for building AI products has nothing to do with evals, technical background, or knowing how to write a prompt? What if it is the ability to design systems that can handle what you never planned for?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Apurva Garware, who has built and scaled products across Amazon, Microsoft, and Upwork, to make the case that systems thinking is the defining skill of the next era of product management. Apurva explains why non-determinism forces PMs to stop thinking in features and start designing the guardrails, agent contracts, and escalation points that govern how a system behaves at runtime, when no one is watching. They explore a three-phase framework for governing AI systems across design, deployment, and production; heuristics for deciding what to hand to agents versus escalate to humans; and a sharp insight about the two products every AI-native company is actually building: the customer-facing product, and the internal operational system that drives margin and velocity. Marc and Ben also share their own experience calibrating an agentic workflow at Supra, grounding the conversation in practice.If you are a PM trying to find your footing in the AI era without a deeply technical background, a founder wrestling with when to reach for AI versus simpler deterministic automation, or a product leader who wants to build more discipline into how your team ships AI products, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we hit play on some of our all-time favorite JDM videos and break them down in real time. From Daigo Saito launching over the jump at Ebisu to the legendary Drift Bible, we revisit the clips that defined an era and fueled our obsession with cars.We watch, react, and go deep on what makes these moments so iconic — the driving, the style, the risk, and the raw energy that you just don't get the same way today. It's part reaction, part storytelling, and all nostalgia as we connect these videos to our own journeys in the car world.

Episode 261

What happens to the product development process when the lines between who builds, who designs, and who decides start to disappear?In this special episode of Supra Insider, recorded as part of the Blurring Lines series with Aster AI, Ben Erez sits down with Rishin Banker, VP of Product at Maven, to explore how a 25-person team is rethinking product development in real time. Rishin opens with a concrete shift: Maven went from two to three concurrent projects to five to six, same headcount, smaller pods, more decision-making at the team level. The unlock wasn't hiring. It was front-loading strategy so more people could move into the build phase at once.They explore how Maven's head of design shipped a full marketing page to production end-to-end, why months of foundational design system work made that possible, and where Figma still fits. Rishin also gets into the tensions he's navigating, unexpected handoffs, competing priorities when people build in silos, and the difference between projects that can live in their own container versus ones that need specialist input from the start.If you're a product leader restructuring your team for the current moment, a designer or PM excited about building more but unsure how to navigate the role blurring, or curious how a lean startup is actually operationalizing these changes day to day, this episode is for you.A special thanks Alex Pavlou and our friends at Aster AI for hosting this session!All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we check in on where our current builds stand — what's done, what's next, and what's taking way longer than expected. From parts on order to big-picture plans, we get real about the highs and headaches of building cars the right way.Then we take it back. Way back.

As the owner of Rollerz and Roll Forged, Squirk has built a brand that blends street culture, style, and performance into one cohesive vision.We dive into the evolution of both companies, what it takes to design and manufacture forged monoblock wheels, and how branding and quality go hand in hand in today's automotive world.

What if the reason you feel like you never have enough time isn't actually a time problem at all?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Molly Siemers, an executive coach for product leaders who spent over two decades building mission-driven products at companies like Kiva, Change.org, and Blurb before launching her coaching practice, Product Craft Works. Molly opens by naming what she's watching in real time: product leaders are running faster than ever, layoffs are everywhere, and the pressure to adopt AI on top of everything else is creating a new kind of cognitive overload. Coaching, she argues, has never been more necessary, not because people need tactics, but because most people are solving the wrong problem.They explore the difference between time and capacity, why the best senior leaders seem unflappable, and how personal capacity is something you build, not something you find by rearranging your calendar. Molly walks through the integral coaching methodology she trained in, the threshold practice she gives clients to start tapping into body and emotional intelligence, and the three-step framework she keeps returning to: notice, decide, act. The conversation then turns personal, with Marc and Ben reflecting on agency, identity, and what happens when you look around and realize you've built a job you hate, or, on the flip side, a life that actually works.If you're a product leader feeling overwhelmed and can't figure out why, someone navigating a career transition and struggling with identity, or a founder or operator who's curious whether coaching might actually be worth it, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What if you could know whether your product change was going to work — before a single real user ever saw it?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Tom Charman, co-founder of Blok, a synthetic user simulation platform that lets product teams test interfaces, onboarding flows, and product changes against AI-powered behavioral personas, not just to predict conversion, but to model second and third order effects like churn, confusion, and long-term retention. Tom opens by naming what's changed: shipping is faster than ever, but the tools PMs use to decide what to build haven't kept up. AB tests still take two to three weeks. Traditional user research still skews toward power users. And as personalization gets more complex, getting to statistical significance gets harder. That's the gap Blok is trying to close.They explore how Blok's behavioral personas go beyond demographics to model psychographics, emotional state, and memory, including what happens when a user has a bad first experience and comes back to your product skeptical. Tom walks through the ICP trap that kills retention, why the “show don't tell” principle protects against confirmation bias, and why he thinks the biggest shift happening in product right now is the move from reactive to proactive, replacing AB tests and feature flags with pre-ship simulation that gets you to directional confidence in 12 minutes instead of three weeks.If you're a PM tired of going to battle in product reviews without data to back your intuition, a founder trying to understand how synthetic users actually work and whether they're worth it before Series A, or a product leader looking to understand how the entire feedback loop from idea to deployment is about to be rebuilt, this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What happens to the PM, the designer, and the engineer when a single person with a great idea can take it all the way to market on their own?In this episode of Supra Insider, Ben Erez sits down with Tomer Cohen, former Chief Product Officer at LinkedIn, where he spent 14 years and led the company's product transformation through the AI era. Tomer unpacks the full stack builder mindset - not as a job title, but as a fundamental rethinking of how product development works when the bloated, process-heavy model of the last two decades gets collapsed back down to its original building blocks: idea, build, ship.They explore how Tomer actually rolled this out at LinkedIn across thousands of people, including replacing the traditional APM program with one where candidates submit a working product instead of a resume, and where the final interview is building something end to end in real time. He breaks down the three archetypes he sees emerging - system builders, full stack builders, and specialists - and what he observed clearly separating top performers from the rest: not their tooling, but their judgment. The conversation closes with a Q&A covering how to navigate interpersonal friction as roles blur, when you actually need a specialist to step in, and what skills will remain stubbornly human no matter what.If you're a PM, designer, or engineer trying to understand where your role is actually heading and what to do about it right now, trying to think clearly about how to future-proof your career without falling for hype, or curious how a CPO at one of the biggest tech companies in the world actually tried to operationalize this shift - this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?
