Beyond Little Anton (John W. Warner IV)

Our guest is an author and historian with a passion for hidden history, revisionist historical narratives, vintage cars, and the unsung heroes of WWII. His father, a 5-term US Senator from Virginia, his mother the daughter of a renowned Pittsburg born philanthropist, his step-mother a famous celebrity... If you haven’t guessed it by now, we’re honored and excited to have John W. Warner IV on Break/Fix - a former IMSA pro-driver turned gentleman farmer, car collector and passionate petrol-head, to talk about his historical-fiction series “Little Anton”, part satire - part love story, and a dash of espionage  --- and we promised John… we wouldn’t talk about aliens. (maybe).

This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.
