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.

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. We dive deep into the nostalgia that made us who we are — the DVDs we wore out, the local meets and events, the car clubs, the early internet forums, and the movies that lit the spark. It's a look at the era that shaped our taste, our standards, and our obsession with JDM culture.This one's equal parts update and throwback — a reminder that every build today is rooted in something that inspired it years ago.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we welcome back Marq “Squirk” Drenon for round two. 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?

Episode 257

What if the cognitive overhead of constant context-switching, endless meetings, and deciding what to work on next could be offloaded to a system that actually knows how you think?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Michael Leibovich, a business unit leader at Adobe overseeing product, design, support, and business strategy, who spent his paternity leave building something most people only talk about: a fully personalized AI chief of staff, built on Claude Code, powered by nothing more than folders and markdown files.They explore the architecture behind Michael's system in detail, from session memory and mental models to a people file that auto-updates from meeting transcripts, a knowledge graph that grows over time, and scheduled tasks for daily meeting metabolization and weekly competitive intel. Michael walks through how he bootstrapped his minimum viable context by extracting from ChatGPT's memory in under ten minutes, why Obsidian became his visual interface of choice, and the moment he realized this was genuinely worth the investment: getting a suggested answer to “what is the highest leverage thing I should do right now?” in a 30-minute gap between meetings.If you're a non-technical operator overwhelmed by AI tooling and unsure where to start, a leader constantly context-switching between teams who struggles to protect time for deep work, or someone building out your own context infrastructure and looking for a real-world playbook, 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 MailAfter a break, the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast is officially back — and there's a lot to catch up on. Bobby headed out of Maine for the winter, Aaron welcomed a new baby into the world, and life hit pause for a bit… but now we're back in the driver's seat.In this episode, we reset and look ahead. We talk about our upcoming car modification plans, what's changing in our builds this year, and the events we're planning to attend. We also open it up to you — the listeners — for episode ideas, questions, and topics you want us to cover as we get back into a consistent rhythm.It's a laid-back check-in with some real-life updates, fresh motivation, and a clear direction for what's coming next.

What if the reason great talent keeps failing at your company has nothing to do with the talent — and everything to do with the environment you built around them?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Hiten Shah, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Crazy Egg, who recently had his first-ever job as a PM at Dropbox after selling his company to them. That 15-month experience as an individual contributor — after a lifetime of being the one who owned the environment — completely changed how he thinks about leadership. Hiten unpacks the viral post that kicked off this conversation and introduces a framework most people have never articulated: vibe leads to environment, and environment leads to culture.They explore what happens when leaders lose ground-level visibility, why escalation is actually healthy in large organizations, and how Hiten's startup FYI built a concrete interview process to hire specifically for environment fit. The conversation moves through the Toby Lütke / Shopify story, the “nothing changes without fireworks” principle, and why most CEOs are outsourcing environment visibility to the wrong people — before pivoting into Hiten's current obsession: running OpenClaw bots inside Slack, pair prompting, and how a two-bot thread with 800 messages built an entire product without Hiten touching a line of code.If you're a founder who's started to feel like a prisoner in the company you built, a leader trying to figure out why strong people keep underperforming, or a non-engineer looking to get serious leverage from OpenClaw bots without using Claude Code — 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 actually take to make fractional work sustainable, not just for a few months, but as a real career path?In this special solo session, Ben Erez shares everything he's learned about fractional product work from two distinct perspectives: as Head of Product at Continuum (a Series A marketplace for fractional executives that eventually shut down) and from his own two years doing fractional work. He walks through the foundations that set you up for success, how to actually find work and structure engagements, and most importantly, how to make it sustainable and not die. Ben is ruthlessly honest about what worked, what failed, and why intentionality is the difference between loving fractional work and hating it.He covers the counterintuitive truth that narrow positioning beats broad positioning (using Phil Carter as a case study), why you need to learn to enjoy marketing yourself or you'll burn out, and the three non-negotiable requirements for any engagement (relevant expertise + urgent need + budget). Ben shares real revenue data showing the spiky, unsteady income reality, explains the “feast or famine” trap that kills most fractional careers, and why he's skeptical that demand aggregators will ever crack this market at scale. Plus, tactical advice on pricing, the transition from being helpful for free to asking for money, and why referrals beat every other channel.If you're exploring fractional work as a side hustle, between full-time roles after a layoff, or considering it as a long-term path—this session is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Is the 2026 Toyota GR Supra really the perfect balance of performance and value… or is there something hiding beneath that sleek design? With a turbocharged inline-six pushing serious horsepower, this sports car promises speed—but does it deliver? From its BMW-rooted engineering to its surprisingly minimal tech, are there unexpected trade-offs? Is this a true driver's dream—or a compromise in disguise? And when you stack it up against its closest rivals, does it actually come out ahead? Take a listen before you decide what this car really brings to the table.

https://RushToReason.com (3-16-26) HOUR 1 Spring weather swings spark more than just small talk—they kick off a practical and timely conversation with Hunter from Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. As temperatures bounce from cold to summer-like heat, are you using your AC correctly—or setting yourself up for costly damage? Hunter breaks down what homeowners need to know right now, from filter changes to avoiding system strain during chilly nights. But the conversation quickly escalates beyond the thermostat. John shifts into rising global tensions with Iran, exploring new developments surrounding leadership, military strategy, and the potential involvement of Kurdish forces. What's really unfolding behind the scenes—and how close are we to a larger conflict? Back home, a troubling Frontier Airlines incident raises questions about accountability and customer treatment. Is it a one-off mistake—or part of a bigger pattern? The hour takes a powerful turn into culture and history, examining controversial moments in entertainment and reflecting on the lessons of the Holocaust. Are we forgetting what matters most? HOUR 2 Hour 2 picks up with intensity as John doubles down on a deeply polarizing conversation—where is the line between political disagreement and something far more serious? As listener texts pour in, the debate escalates around figures like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, with John drawing firm conclusions and inviting callers to challenge him. A powerful exchange with callers Dave and Wayne brings faith, history, and logic into the spotlight. Can long-standing narratives withstand scrutiny? And how should Christians respond to hatred—especially when it's directed back at them? The conversation raises uncomfortable but critical questions about truth, influence, and responsibility. Then, the tone shifts as Richard joins the program, bringing a breath of fresh air with discussions on March Madness, the rising cost of college sports, and the changing landscape of NIL deals. Could big money be reshaping competition forever? From there, the excitement builds with talk of a potential IndyCar race in Denver—big risks, big rewards, and major economic potential. The hour wraps with a high-performance review of the 2026 Toyota GR Supra, a turbocharged, driver-focused sports car that blends power, precision, and pure driving fun—before setting the stage for a deeper dive into global tensions ahead. Timestamps 3:19 – Dave (Caller) 20:44 – Wayne (Caller) 29:39 – Richard Rush HOUR 3 Hour 3 dives into global conflict, economic reality, and everyday decision-making—with stakes that hit closer to home than you might think. John is joined by retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Josh McConkie, who delivers a sobering look at the escalating situation with Iran. From asymmetric warfare and drone threats to the strategic battle over the Strait of Hormuz, the conversation explores what's really happening behind the headlines. Is this conflict nearing its end—or entering a more calculated and dangerous phase? Back on the home front, John tackles financial myths and political consequences. Can annuities really deliver double-digit returns, or are investors being misled? And as TSA delays grow amid funding battles, who's truly responsible—and how long will travelers tolerate the chaos? Then comes a deep dive into Colorado's proposed swipe fee legislation—will it help businesses, or quietly raise costs for everyone? Finally, a real-world example of a billionaire relocating to avoid massive taxes sparks a bigger question: are policies driving wealth—and opportunity—out the door? And perhaps the biggest question of all: how do you win a war like this without putting boots on the ground? Timestamps 1:08 — Dr. Josh McConkie https://www.weightbehindthespear.com 47:32 — Dan (Caller)

What happens when everyone can build, but no one breaks through the noise?In this episode of Supra Insider, Ben Erez sits down with Elan Miller, founder and CEO of branding and design studio Off-Menu, for the podcast's first live in-person recording. Elan unpacks why this moment is uniquely challenging for brand storytelling—AI has made it easier than ever to build and ship products, but harder than ever to get people to care. He explains how the standard tech playbook (great product + clever go-to-market) no longer works when 10 competitors can copy you within a month, and why honorable points of view are the only sustainable moat.They explore Anthropic's Keep Thinking campaign and Super Bowl ads as a masterclass in positioning against OpenAI, discuss why successful positioning must repel people as much as it resonates, and unpack the Granola rebrand (including Ben's honest reaction as a customer). Elan shares why most rebrands fail (visual makeover without moving anything forward), the different reasons companies should rebrand (talent attraction, internal alignment, crossing the chasm), and his process for finding the “holy s**t insight” that makes people feel seen. Plus, how he's building AI tools that turn brand strategy into practical inputs for higher-quality outputs, and why strong point of view is the antidote to slop.If you're building in a crowded space and struggling to stand out, wondering whether a rebrand is the right move, or trying to articulate what makes you different in a way that actually resonates—this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What if your computer didn't need a screen in front of you to get work done? That's the shift Ben Guo, co-founder of Zo, is building toward, and this conversation gets into the specifics of what that actually looks like day to day.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with Ben Guo to explore Zo: a personal cloud computer with built-in AI agents, file storage, scheduled tasks, and the ability to receive commands over text or email. Together, they unpack how Zo differs from the OpenClaw movement and why Ben thinks the personal cloud becomes a device category everyone eventually owns.The conversation goes deep on how the Zo team actually builds software: writing AI-generated markdown plans before touching any code, reviewing those plans as GitHub PRs, and largely abandoning the traditional to-do backlog in favor of just prompting something and letting it run. They also get into the real overhead that comes with this new way of working, including context management, delegation judgment, and figuring out what belongs where.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Send a textIn this episode of the Right Hand Drive Guys Podcast, we take a look at the cars that officially became federally legal in 2026 under the 25-year import rule — including icons like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and the Honda Integra Type R (DC5).While these cars are still exciting additions for enthusiasts, this new class of imports raises a bigger question: are we reaching the end of the JDM golden era? Compared to the flood of legendary cars that became legal over the past decade — R32s, Supras, FD RX-7s, and eventually the R34 — the pipeline of truly must-have JDM cars seems to be slowing down.We discuss what makes the Evo 7 and DC5 special, why the early-2000s era feels different from the 90s boom, and whether the future of importing will ever match the excitement of the golden years. Is the best behind us, or are there still hidden gems waiting their turn?
