In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Fabian Oberhammer — a self-taught 3D artist, Instagram creator with over 180K followers, and the mind behind over 3,000 consecutive daily renders. Fabian opens up about the turning point in 2022 when his viral car render project catapulted him into the digital spotlight. He talks about his journey through creative burnout, how working in a traditional studio drained his passion for 3D, and why taking over his family's boutique hotel in Northern Italy was a move that saved both his mental and artistic well-being. From rendering hypercars for West Coast Customs to using AI tools like Magnific to elevate his work, Fabian shares how he's navigating the future of CGI with authenticity and heart.More than just a conversation about software and scenes, this episode dives deep into the balance between art and life. Fabian discusses how having a stable, real-world job gives him the freedom to say no to uninspiring clients and protect the love he has for digital art. We also explore his vision of transforming his hotel into an artist residency, his thoughts on AI-generated art, and the difference between going viral for attention versus building lasting creative value. Whether you're a 3D artist, entrepreneur, or someone looking to rekindle your passion, Fabian's story is a powerful blueprint for building a career on your own terms.__https://www.instagram.com/thedizzyviper/

On the third episode of Heavy Hitters, hosted by Clay Edwards on 103.9 FM WYAB, the spotlight was on Dr. Spencer Mills, a multifaceted entrepreneur whose diverse ventures embody the spirit of "outlaw entrepreneurship." Broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studio in Mississippi and streaming across platforms like Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble, the show delved into Mills' inspiring journey, his passions, and his definition of success. The episode, aired on May 19, 2025, offered listeners an engaging conversation filled with stories of cars, veterinary medicine, documentary filmmaking, and entrepreneurial grit.   Clay Edwards opened the show by introducing Mills, a veterinarian, custom car shop owner, and documentary filmmaker whose eclectic pursuits inspired the creation of Heavy Hitters. Edwards recounted how he first met Mills while making cold calls to sell radio ads. Intrigued by Mills' reputation at Gangster Garage, a custom car shop in Gluckstadt, Edwards popped in to check it out. The two hit it off, bonding over their shared love for cars, culture, and storytelling. This chance encounter led to Mills' appearance on the show, where his dynamic personality and diverse ventures took center stage.   Mills, a 36-year-old Jackson native, shared his path to becoming a veterinarian. Growing up on the north side of Jackson and attending Jackson Academy, he initially pursued a pre-med track at Ole Miss, driven by a childhood dream of owning a Lamborghini—a goal his parents tied to becoming a doctor. However, during his junior year, Mills began working at a veterinary clinic and discovered a passion for animal medicine. The excitement of going to work each morning signaled he was on the right path. He switched gears, applied to veterinary school at Mississippi State University, and graduated with a doctorate, albeit with significant student debt and a modest starting salary.   After vet school, Mills worked under mentor Dr. Dale Wilson at Mansfield Animal Clinic, where he was thrust into responsibility early on, managing the clinic solo within months of graduating. He also launched Mills Mobile Vet, a concierge house-call service, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit. Recognizing a gap in after-hours pet care in Madison County, Mills and Wilson opened UrgiVet, an emergency veterinary clinic off Highway 51 in Madison. Now five years strong, UrgiVet has become a vital resource, drawing clients from the Delta, North Mississippi, and beyond, despite minimal advertising until recently partnering with Edwards' show for brand recognition. Mills' ventures extend far beyond veterinary medicine. At Gangster Garage, he oversees a boutique custom car and motorcycle shop that tackles unique, high-end projects, from exotic cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to family heirlooms like a 1963 classic with just 4,000 miles. The shop specializes in detailed builds, paint correction, ceramic coating, and collaborations with local partners for powder coating, tinting, and wraps. Mills described Gangster Garage as a “southern West Coast Customs,” emphasizing quality over quantity and a willingness to handle projects others shy away from. His personal fleet, including a 700-horsepower Ford Raptor and a V8 Hummer H3, reflects his lifelong love for cars, sparked by that childhood Lamborghini dream. While he's owned a Lamborghini in the past, Mills now focuses on vehicles that bring him joy, like his Raptor, which he calls a tangible reward for his hard work.   The conversation took an unexpected turn as Mills revealed his foray into documentary filmmaking through 13th South Productions. His entry into the industry came through a connection who needed custom cars built for a movie. This led to a partnership with a seasoned filmmaker who saw Mills' potential and invited him to work on a feature film shot in Canton, Madison, and the Mississippi coast. Within three years, Mills climbed the ranks to producer—a rare feat in an industry where such roles often take decades to achieve. His documentary work includes Little Brother of War, which explores the Choctaw game of stickball, a culturally significant sport akin to NFL-level passion for the tribe. Filmed at the Choctaw Fair, the project is nearing a streaming deal with major networks. Mills is also wrapping up Seize the South, a documentary on Mississippi's medical cannabis industry, featuring interviews with patients, doctors, lawmakers, and celebrities like Cheech and Chong, Jim Belushi, Mike Tyson, Willie Nelson, and soon Ric Flair, whom Mills will interview on June 13, 2025, at Southern Sky Brands' Pearl dispensary.   Throughout the episode, Edwards and Mills explored the theme of outlaw entrepreneurship—blazing one's own path to success. Mills' ventures, from UrgiVet to Gangster Garage to filmmaking, are fueled by his passions for animals, cars, and storytelling. He emphasized the importance of networking, noting how connections opened doors to his film career and other ventures, including a forthcoming gun and ammunition business, which they didn't have time to fully discuss.   When asked to define success, Mills offered a heartfelt response: it's about doing what you love, making a living from it, and finding fulfillment in the impact you have on others. For him, success is saving a pet on the brink of death and witnessing the owner's relief, or building a custom car that brings joy to a client. It's about waking up excited to work and leaving a positive mark, whether through a saved animal or a story told on screen. Reflecting on his journey, Mills admitted to moments of realization—like seeing his Raptor in a window's reflection and remembering the struggles of vet school debt—where he acknowledges how far he's come.   For those struggling to find their spark, Mills' advice was simple yet profound: pursue what excites you. Find something that makes you eager to get up each morning, and don't be afraid to take risks or pivot from a stable but unfulfilling path. His own leap from pre-med to veterinary medicine, and later into cars and film, exemplifies this mindset.

Mike Millsap grew up in the drag racing world, but he never thought it would lead to a shop allowing him to build the coolest cars in the world. He always had a passion for fixing cars, but after high school, never thought it would be more than a hobby and be a running, growing business. He asked his mom every day after football practice to drive him by his father's shop to see how the new build was going. Eventually, he bugged them enough that at 14, the mechanics of the upholstery shop gave him a job sweeping floors one summer. This led to the birth of a welding shop which provided enough supplemental income so he could work on cars in his spare time. Within three years, he doubled his square footage, continuing to do so every 3-5 years after that. Since high school, he's been so busy building hot rods for clients, he hasn't had much time to build one of his own. But now he's working on a '62 chevy station wagon. Now, his focus is on the Hot Rod Power Tour. 3,000 miles in 7 days. He is the owner of Sachse Rod Shop, a full-build shop specializing in custom cars and auto restoration with a complete showroom.

The discussion extends to the business aspect of world building, examining how to present creative ideas and their revenue potential. Houston sheds light on how AI tools can super charge the world-building process.

The mantra's and phrases aren't new and to be honest they're things I've been preaching on stages for 8 years and funny enough they still work today yet far too few people use them: Jab Jab Jab, Right Hook - GaryVee ShowUCare - Me Getting people's attention online so you can get on a whitelist or they can mint your NFT project or they can promote what you're doing to their discord isn't that hard.... But most people if not 99% of them are far too lazy!   In this episode, I share a real-world example that happened to me just the other day. that not only caught my attention but turned me into a massive fan of this NFT project.   The project is the WildGoatGangNFT and it's minting today at .08. Not only did the social team use their social currency correctly but replying to a tweet about my podcast but they backed up all their claims and then welcomed me into their discord audio channels where I got to FEEL the passion and HEAR the purpose that was not only driving the founders but all of those in the discord holding a Wild Goat.  https://twitter.com/WildGoatGangNFT/status/1482950502472196099?s=20 After the tweet above not only did I buy a couple of WildGoatGangNFTs for myself but we included them in yesterday's #Mint365 project as day 67. Also special shoutout to the Land DAO NFT which was day 66 and MetaWhips by West Coast Customs which was day 65. 

When @Officialwcc slid into my DMs after listening to me share the #Mint365 story to let me know they loved and supported what I was doing and would love to jump on a call….  I had no clue it would turn into one of the most epic conversations around the MetaWhips NFT drop and the INTENTION the West Coast Customs team and founder have put into delivering a world-class NFT experience.   For this episode, I sat down with Kurt and Jusup on the WestCoast Customs NFT team and man was it fun to feel such alignment with a great brand, nft drop, and humans... This conversation goes from the story of West Coast Customs using the technology of cooling of an engine to cool GPUs of a winning server to the vision many years ago to create a virtual game to what drops today 01.14 the MetaWhips NFT. The framework for building out a POWERFUL and LASTING NFT Community is what we discussed and  Commitment to the NFT Culture and Community Collaboration with others in the space Connection brand mission with purpose and passion and how to represent that in Web 3.0 Employing a team and trusting them  Taking no shortcuts when it comes to the art and storytelling beyond the NFT Focus on rewarding your Superfans and overdelivering on everything Think beyond online vs offline and focus on the metaverse connecting the everything-verse of life in all aspects Connect with great people so you can do great things Beyond excited to have had the team from West Coast Customs on the show... Make sure to follow them on social media and jump on this mint as I couldn't be more excited!!  https://discord.gg/metawhips https://metawhips.io/ https://twitter.com/wccmetawhips https://www.instagram.com/wccmetawhips/ Also, stay tuned to my Twitter and Discord.gg/ADHDcoin for a Metawhips giveaway!!  Ps. 1093 SuperPOWERED TRUE FANZ NFTs went out today which is super cool as WCC was founded in 1993 an is all about the number 93 as well.

Hour 1 of the Wednesday edition of Armstrong & Getty features insights and revelations into the minds of Jack & Joe via a pair of dirty socks! Plus, Mailbag, Headlines and Jack & his son visit West Coast Customs!

This time, we're at Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) for their big 2019 announcement event. With the team from West Coast Customs on-hand to assist, all is revealed on plans for a newly themed area and a one-of-kind racing experience. Enjoy!

Sheldon Brown from Toyota talks about the 2019 TRD Pro line-up and their shift to Fox shocks. Rory Connell, formerly of West Coast Customs fame, has a killer solution for operating any electrical accessory on your truck. Lastly, Nat Havholm tells Lightning and Holman about the inspirations behind his automotive lifestyle company, California Grilled Tees.

Avsnitt 23 blev det längsta hittills! Vi kunde helt enkelt inte sluta komma på anekdoter om bil-tv-serierna vi älskar och hatar. Det blev en lång resa ner i obskyra minnen och skvaller om varför Boyd avskydde Chip, konkurser, olyckor, stämningar, ond bråd död och annat skoj. Vi inleder med Trafikmagasinet och fortsätter genom Monster Garage, Pimp My Ride, American Hot Rod, Rides, Overhaulin', West Coast Customs, Trick My Tryck, Unique Whips, Fast N' Loud, Misfit Garage, Graveyard Carz och vår favorit - gubbprogrammet Chasing Classic Cars. Sedan blir det så klart lite suddiga analyser från andra program som Bitchin' Rides och Counting Cars. Och lugn, vi hoppar självklart över alla brittiska program. Häng med!

Rory has spent most of his life working at various automotive businesses. He grew up working on and racing go carts in California. Then went to Wyotech for a formal automotive education in Pennsylvania. He then moved back to California to work for a boat shop, a hot rod shop, and a shop which recorded the Wrecks to Riches tv show. His next job was as a fabricated at West Coast Customs where he got to work on all sorts of cool projects. He transitioned into the parts department there before moving on to Callaway Cars. This is when he really got involved with SEMA. He had been to the show many times with West Coast Customs, but decided to volunteer for the Select Committee once he got to Callaway. He was featured in SEMA’s 35 under 35 award which helped him get his next job at Body Armor 4X4. Rory then moved on to become the VP of Sales at Gibson Exhaust. His latest venture is as a sales director at Advanced Accessory Concepts where he is developing and selling a new product that he helped design. Rory recently transitioned into the Chairman of the YEN Select Committee. His main goal is to give young people more opportunities to get together, make connections, and improve their situation at work. YEN hosts the Launch Pad Competition this year at SEMA and various networking events across the country

Episode 0034 - Hot Rod Bells and Whistles How much is too much?  We talk about how many goodies, bells and whistles are too much for a restomod.  Restoration are obviously not what were talking about this time.  But when you're supping up your ride, how far is too far?  Also included is an Orange Cone Reroute on copyright law.
