#261: The Power of Passion with Ant Anstead - a podcast by Mark Groves

Themes: Career, Purpose, Media, Divorce, Breakups, Parenting
Summary: This week I’m honoured to welcome the master mechanic himself, Ant Anstead, to the show. Ant and I met serendipitously a few years back when he took my Breakup Recovery Course, and I’ve been blessed to call him a friend ever since.
Ant is the CEO and co-founder of Radford Motors and is responsible for overseeing the build process of every single bespoke, hand-made vehicle to meet exacting customer specifications. For many years, Ant built bespoke cars for elite clients and collectors all over the world and is best known for hosting car-centric television shows such as Celebrity IOU: Joyride, Radford Returns, For the Love of Cars and Wheeler Dealers, the number one most distributed show on The Discovery Channel. Join us as we chat about Ant’s career journey, life (and divorce) in the public eye, parenthood, and more.
