Mat shares the harrowing story of losing over £200,000 on a single car build, balanced against the incredible success of his most iconic projects, like the manual Lamborghini Murciélago he rebuilt with his father. From his early days working a 9-to-5 while moonlighting in a restaurant to becoming a household name in the car community, Mat discusses the "work hard beats talent" mindset that allowed him to transition from flipping houses to owning hypercars. BEST MOMENTS "I genuinely feel like I found something that I was meant to do." "Hard work beats talent. I'm not necessarily talented in a way. I’m not the best mechanic in the world, I'm not the best TV presenter in the world, not the best editor in the world, but together with hard work mixed into one, we've created something." "You've already lost before you've even started, if you've already said in your mind you're never going to own a supercar."
