Shop Soup
Podcast Description
Being around the automotive aftermarket as a well tenured shop owner, I decided it was time to let go of the wrench and pic up a mic. I like learning, listening and conversing with others who have so much to share. That's why I call the show ShopSoup. Every story is different. Just like recipe's it may have all the exact ingredients, but it doesn't mean it's going to taste the same as the last batch. I hope that you become a listener, a subscriber and maybe even a guest! C'mon.. Soup's On!

Being around the automotive aftermarket as a well tenured shop owner, I decided it was time to let go of the wrench and pic up a mic. I like learning, listening and conversing with others who have so much to share. That’s why I call the show ShopSoup, all part of the SoupRadio Platform. You might say, “radio?” and I get it. But ShopSoup is more than a podcast. It’s a broadcasting venture designed with the automotive aftermarket in mind. Each of these shows (and others) will play 24/7/365 on SoupRadio.fm along with some very good music curated by myself and other industry leaders. You see, every story is different. Just like recipes, it may have all the exact ingredients, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to taste the same as the last batch. I hope that you become a listener, a subscriber and maybe even a guest! C’mon.. Soup’s On!
