Rockwell Barbell Podcast Ep. 54: Tom Theodoropoulus & Emil Liebhaber

In this episode, Lawrence sits down with Tom and Emil to talk about their journey into the automotive world and how they carved out a space in Porsche culture. We dive into what makes air-cooled cars unique and how to make these cars feel less intimidating to work on. We also touch on the evolution of Porsche culture, the rise of EVs, and what it's like building a business around passion. They also get into what got them started into working on cars and their detour off the beaten path of career choices. Lawrence shares how he got into Porsche, how his perspective has changed over time, and some of the unexpected (and funny) moments that come with spotting these cars in the wild. Beyond cars, we get into what everyone's into outside the garage and the influences that shaped where they are today.
