    Whether You Think You Can, Or You Think You Can't, You're Right Either Way...

    In this episode, KASL Customs sits down with Foxcast Media and 417 Fox for a candid conversation about where they came from, the experiences that shaped them, and the entrepreneurial journeys that brought them to where they are today. We dive into their upbringings, backgrounds, challenges, and the aspirations that continue to drive them forward. From building businesses and creative brands to pursuing passions that started as dreams, this conversation offers an inside look at what it takes to turn an idea into something real. We also talk about the upcoming Ford Take Over Event, happening September 10th, 11th & 12th in Jackson, Tennessee, and what attendees can expect from the event, the automotive community, and the people bringing it all together. Most importantly, this episode is about betting on yourself. Foxcast Media and 417 Fox share insight, lessons, and encouragement for anyone who has a passion, a dream, or an idea they want to pursue — but may not know where to start. If you're an entrepreneur, automotive enthusiast, content creator, or simply someone chasing a bigger vision, this conversation is a reminder that your background doesn't have to define your future. Start where you are, stay committed to the vision, and keep chasing the dream.

    The Rise & Fall Of The 90's Mustang Forums 1995 - 2026

    From dial-up internet and servers sitting in a spare room to millions of page views, press credentials at the Detroit Auto Show, and special access press deals with Ford Motor Company— this is the story of the early days of online automotive media. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Corral.net and MustangWorks.com to hear how it all began in the mid-1990s, when the internet was still in its infancy. We talk about what it was like to physically host and maintain servers from home while trying to keep up with millions of visits every month, the challenges of monetizing an automotive website before digital advertising was fully established, getting invited to major automotive events, working directly with Ford, and building an online Mustang community from the ground up. It's a behind-the-scenes look at the wild early days of the internet—and how a passion for Mustangs helped create something that was far ahead of its time.
