Two Martins. Two worlds. One wild conversation. Scotland meets Mexico as Jeremy Funk sits down with Martín Luna Rivera and Martin MacRae from James Fisher AIS for a hilarious, heartfelt chat about life, culture, and tech. From Aberdeen pubs to Mexico City traffic, they swap stories about growing up worlds apart, navigating careers in oil and gas, and finding common ground in family, food, and Formula One. It’s equal parts culture clash and camaraderie, with plenty of laughs and global perspective along the way.
