VWJawbreaker · Aug 2025

I had the absolute best time being a guest on DubLife Diaries! After throwing a huge car show here in Denver, I was blown away when Joe Person — the host and mastermind behind the podcast — reached out to invite me on the show. He came across some footage of the event and wanted to highlight what we’ve been building here in Colorado. It felt amazing to know that what we’re doing in our local VW scene caught the attention of someone out of state. That kind of recognition? Huge. Being on the podcast was not only a blast but also seriously inspiring. Joe runs a tight ship — you can tell right away he’s a total pro — and the conversation flowed so naturally. Listening back to the episode was just pure joy. It made me even more fired up to get out there, do more with the club, and keep growing this community we love. If you’re into Volkswagens and the stories behind the people who drive this culture, DubLife Diaries is a must-listen. Big thanks again to Joe for the invite — what an awesome experience!
