Double dipping this week! On this episode, I have the treat of having Joshua Rezende. What are we chatting about?! Everything!
Joshua is one of the most talented photographers not just AZ has to offer, but the nation. So much so, he is one of the official photographers and media creators for BMW USA. We chatted about what BMW is doing well at the moment and the potential shifts in their design team, how he even got into working with BMW USA and the dealer network he works with in Dallas, his experience on on the BMW X5 25 anniversary shoot and why oh why....did he decide to build a 1000 horsepower Toyota Supra and the heart break that has ensued.
Joshua was awesome and I cannot thank him enough for his time. Please check him out on Instagram @blacktiremedia.

What is going everyone! Welcome back to Sonoma Raceway at the Velocity Invitational for part 2 of our special. In this episode, you will hear from car content creator Kali Moldavon, YouTuber extraordinaire Jack Ultramotive, vintage car expert Gian Paolo Scorzo of Carissimo and one of the best photographers Arizona has to offer, Cody Nogowski.
They all share their experiences of why to them, the Velocity Invitational is truly one of the top automotive events in the world. Which is not a stretch. It was Jack and Gian Paolo's first time here and Kali and Cody have been here a few times and it's awesome to hear what each of them love about it. This was recorded in the media center which was directly on the front straight at Sonoma which means some of the fly by's get really loud at times. Apologies about that but it also gives a unique feeling as to being boots on the ground.
Please make sure you give a follow to Kali @kalimoldavon, Jack @jackultramotive, Gian Paolo @gocarissimo and @iamscorzo and Cody @c.j.n.photography as well as the velocity invitational IG account @velocityinvitational. Huge thanks to Cory Burns, Lauren Trevino and Diana Brennan of Kahn Media for everything over the weekend.

Hi everyone and welcome to the 100th installment of Tormenting Tarmac. I cannot believe we are here. This journey started all the way back in January 2022 and if you want to get really technical, it started in September of 2021 when I recorded the first ever episode with Ron. Fast forward to now and I think this podcast is the perfect representation of car culture in the Phoenix area and we have expanded outside of Arizona.
This week, we have YouTube sensation Jack Ultramotive on the pod. We discuss Youtube and how it works in the sense of the never ending story, his first car being the Focus RS, where we feel the perfect balanced supercars ended and of course....the greatness that is the Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640.
It was a true privilege to have Jack on, I am glad to have been able to welcome him into the Valley. And if anyone is curious, yes we certainly went for a rip in the Murci!
Please subscribe to Jack's channel on YouTube and give him a follow on IG. A big thank you to him and a bigger thank to all of you for supporting this project. The pleasure has been mine. Enthusiasts never die! - Show more
