  • In this video, I share the raw and real story of how a simple $600 investment evolved into a $15 million business with over 50,000 customers around the world. All in the niche of aftermarket performance car parts. It's a tale of passion, innovation, and the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.
    From the adrenaline of drifting and the craftsmanship in building cars to the hard lessons learned from bankruptcy, every step has shaped not just a business, but my life journey.
    You'll get an inside look behind a business that consumed my life for over 7 years. It propelled me to success and the missteps that taught me the most. This is more than just a business chronicle; it's a story of persistence, learning, and the relentless pursuit of a dream.
    To those who have followed me and supported FAF Automotive, I would like to personally thank you all! Your support and feedback did not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated.
    Join me as I share my journey through FAF Automotive, I share key insights and strategies that could guide and inspire your own path.
    Whether you're a car enthusiast, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone who loves a story of determination and resilience I have it covered.
    Thank you

    It was honestly a pleasure working with you man! Your mindset and view on life has completely changed me as a person and I'm extremely thankful for it.
    I'd say the most important life lesson I learnt through all this, is that sometimes the worst things to happen to you end up being greatest. They feel terrible at the time, but being able to learn and eventually look back with hindsight you realise that it's what was needed for you to grow as a person.
    I was more than gutted that we couldn't make the business work in the end. So many hours researching, learning and implementing, but it was just too late. In the end it just felt like we weren't good enough, which took a bit of a toll on me (I can't imagine what you went through).
    However, I wouldn't be here in Japan for my second season in a row if everything went to plan. The downfall of the business lead me to rediscovering my passion for skiing and I now plan to do it for the rest of my life. How I don't know, but I will make it happen as I've put my mind to it.
    I'm sure we'll both go on to do exactly what we want to do in life.
    I look forward to seeing you soon man!

    I just stumbled across this 😮
    I always wondered what happened to FAF Automotive. Really sad to find out what had happened. I often tried to find the website, instagram & Facebook page. I bought a fair few things for a car I was building in late 2019/2020. The customer service was unreal I had a very pleasant experience with your business. I wish you the best in your future mate! I hope you’re doing well.

    Oh shit. Remember watching the build series of the gs, kinda lost touch after that. Didn't know what happened. What a ride man. Guess the only plus side is life lessons and you still have your health.
