The What Drives Her Podcast
Hosted by A Girls Guide to Cars · EN
We've been talking to women who are changing the automotive world for a few years now. We thought it's time we share those conversations, so we started a podcast. We discover what inspires and empowers women to build a career in automotive, to create, to lead, to take on new challenges, to not be afraid. And what they hope others will learn from them. And, there are cars! We'll talk about new cars, technology, car sales and deals and more.
