    #13 - Self Driving Cars, Family & The 80's - Friendship Series #2 | Nicolas Malloy

    Join the Blockhead boys as they are joined by their good friend Nicolas Malloy in Part 2 of our coveted friendship series! Every few episodes the team is looking to highlight their amazing friends who have been insurmountable in their individual journey's. The goal is to accentuate them as the incredible people they are, while uncovering their successes and failures alike to tie in the true meaning of what it is to be a Blockhead and build a life of purpose! In this episode the guys walk through Nicolas's family life, his passion for innovation, his work in the self driving car industry, while candidly going on some offshoot tangents as expected! Kyle is in attendance (I know shocking right) and really makes a significant effort to show his love for the 80's making as many references as he can muster up. Dave fact checks the references in real time as is crowned the "arbiter of truth" which we can all agree is fitting for his role on the Blockhead team. Further the group discusses the used cars their families had growing up and the special yet fleeting feeling of purchasing your first new car!
