Can you describe your morning routine?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launching my YouTube career, I\u2019ve rarely stayed still – travel has been constant, so a strict morning routine never took root. I wasn\u2019t into coffee until a couple of years ago, but now it\u2019s a part of my morning rhythm. My goal for the first 45 minutes is simplicity and quiet – no work input, no decisions. I set out clothes the night before, avoid my phone, and step out for a cappuccino walk here in Monaco. It\u2019s my mental buffer – by the time I\u2019m back, I\u2019m recharged and ready to fully engage with the day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Could you walk us through a typical workday?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to give a typical workday, since each one is different – so it\u2019s easier to describe a week. Two days are filming, planned with brands or collectors. One day is admin – emails and contracts. Two days I focus on my business, where I help YouTubers, athletes, and events launch brands in textiles, jewellery, skincare, and beyond. Weekends are often side projects – like renovating an apartment that\u2019s now rented. I\u2019m not too much of a morning person, probably  start around nine, but love to work late, I seem to just focus better during the later hours, less distraction, unplanned calls etc\u2026 so yeah, that\u2019s how I\u2019d sum up a week if I\u2019m in Monaco, however if I\u2019m travelling for various project everything changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to meals, do you have any favorite spots for lunch or dinner? Or do you prefer cooking at home ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love cooking; it pulls me away from screens. With so much time spent editing or on social media, cooking helps to switch off. I sometimes think of it as being like making a YouTube video sometimes, you start with different ingredients that combined lead to a product you can (hopefully) feel proud of. In Monaco, I do love dining out too – Beefbar or Maya Bay are favorites. For drinks, Trinity is always fun; but I do also love hosting friends at home, we used to do F1 lunches at mine for most races, trying to theme them around the location of each race\u2026 Should try and find the time to start that up again! My little secret pleasure that I treat myself to at LEAST once a week, especially Sunday evenings, is ordering a curry from Indian Star, (absolute banger if you haven\u2019t tried it yet!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did you get started with your YouTube channel?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was fascinated by cars from a young age, though no one in my immediate family was obsessed, aside from my grandfather. At first, I liked planes, but cars quickly took over. Growing up in the hills above Monaco, I\u2019d see these incredible machines daily. Top Gear came along and fueled that passion. I was always playing with miniature cars and talking about them, probably driving my family crazy. I started filming cars in Monaco streets, sending videos to family in the UK. YouTube became a platform to share these moments. Top Marques was pivotal – it started with me outside, watching test drives, then inside, convincing salesmen to let me sit in cars. Eventually, I went on test drives, experiencing supercars for the first time. That blend of passion and access sparked the journey – what began as sharing with family became building a channel and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite project or collaboration you\u2019ve worked on so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to drive a Formula 1 car – as an automotive fan, that\u2019s incredibly special. It was in Portugal, at Portim\u00e3o, and my family came with me which made it even more special. I didn\u2019t think it would happen at first – when someone approaches you to drive an F1 car, you assume it\u2019ll fall through. Until I was sat in the car, I didn\u2019t believe it. It felt like a full-circle moment, and it\u2019s the project I\u2019m most proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a misconception people have about your job?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardest part is staying creative – after making over a thousand videos, generating fresh ideas is tough. When we daily vlogged, it meant filming, editing, thumbnails, and descriptions – every day. YouTube\u2019s algorithm is unforgiving, so any break risks a drop. It\u2019s a dream job, but balancing the fun with that relentless pressure is something people don\u2019t always see (as well as the countless hours behind a screen editing or negotiating contracts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As someone who\u2019s often in the public eye, how do you unwind and relax after a busy day?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started around 14 or 15, so being in the public eye now feels normal. I\u2019ve never really known adult life without it. I don\u2019t feel it limits me; in fact, it lets me meet others who share my passions. To unwind, I keep it simple. I\u2019m extremely close to family – when they\u2019re here, we cook or just spend quality time. When they\u2019re away, we FaceTime regularly. I have a group of friends I play tennis with whenever I need to switch off. Recently, buying a boat has become my ultimate escape. When I\u2019m out at sea, phone down, it\u2019s a rare moment where I feel truly disconnected, and that\u2019s where I find complete peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How long has he been coming to Top Marques? Do you enjoying going to shows, and why is TMM different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been going to Top Marques since around 2011, maybe earlier – I\u2019ve lost count. It started with me standing outside watching the test drives. Then I got tickets to go inside, and I\u2019d try convincing salespeople to let me sit in cars. Eventually, I went on test drives, and those were some of my first supercar experiences. Top Marques has been a marker of my journey – from a kid dreaming outside to now being fully immersed. I haven\u2019t missed one in at least a decade. Every year, it reminds me how far I\u2019ve come, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s so special to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite memory from Top Marques Monaco?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, there are so many special memories. I remember being in a RUF Porsche with the founder – that was surreal. Meeting the founder of PPI led to my first trip abroad to film cars. But honestly, my favorite memories are walking around Top Marques with my parents as a teenager, eager to show them everything I\u2019d discovered, feeling proud to share that knowledge. Those moments stand out the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
