The Gated Shift, a Money Shift Podcast.  The Gated shift is a hilarious, information filled hangout with two brothers, Thanasi and Niko Chalkiadakis. Separated by 10 years in age, their takes can differ quite greatly, but one thing is consistent. They love cars. In each episode you may hear Thanasi convince Niko NOT to buy something, or Niko try to convince Thanasi TO buy something...all the while, their passion for the automobile shines through. Join Niko and Thanasi, and stay up to date in all things automotive, and laugh a lot while doing it. Thanasi Chalkiadakis is a self proclaimed automotive encyclopedia. His love of cars began at a very young age, and while others picked up a wrench, he watched and read everything under the sun. From random racing facts, to niche car makers, there are few machines Thanasi doesn't know about, making him UNBEARABLE in a lot of car conversations. While he can barely change his own oil, his feel for the automobile is one that is unbiased, and his marketing degree allows him to understand where the brand is attempting to shine. Niko Chalkiadakis is a young automotive fan, with a ton of knowledge in the areas he loves. Still in college, Niko is currently exploring the ins and outs of his RSX and GLA45 AMG, and going to every automotive event possible. He is largely fair, and always wants the best for anyone and everyone when it comes to what is in their driveway.
