In this episode I am joined by Cam Scorey.
Cam owns and operates Hussln Auto Detailing out of Tatura in regional Victoria.
After chatting back and forth for a long time with Cam via social media, it was great to be able to pay him a visit and record this episode face to face at his facility located on the busiest intersection in town.
In this episode we got to hear about how Cam started out in detailing and how he went from working for a dealership to taking the leap and opening his own business and later on moving into a workshop of his own.
We got to hear about Cam moving from Shepparton to Papua New Guinea when he was a week old where he would live for 5 years with armed security and what that was like trying to make friends. Then on to regional NSW in Blayney into his teen years before moving back home to regional Victoria.
We also got to hear about how Cam moved to Perth for a girl he met online which ultimately led him to start detailing, and marry his wife before moving back to Victoria again.
Cam has a really cool story and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him for this episode.
