000 - Jerry Zaiden & Richard Waitas
Welcome to The MF Show, your pitstop for celebrity interviews, hosted by Richard Waitas and Jerry Zaiden. We'll be talking about hot car topics, the automotive industry, and everywhere it takes us. To kick off the show, Jerry and Richard sit down to introduce themselves, talk about their origins in the industry, and talk about the future plans of the show. Jerry Zaiden, Co-Founder of Camburg, has an almost radical DIY attitude that has defined his career. Starting out at a window tint and sunroof shop, Jerry always believed in learning as much as he can, and using that knowledge to fabricate anything he needs himself. This belief led him from building surfboard racks and truck bumpers, to working at Rod Millen Motorsport, and starting Camburg Engineering with Co-Founder Jason Campbell. Richard holds a similar DIY attitude, something he attributes to his parents and their engineering background. Richard would share his father’s enthusiasm for working on cars, and this passion eventually led him to working at Magnaflow. Richard would then work his way up through the company, learning the industry along the way, and becoming an on-camera personality, sharing Magnaflow’s message with the world. 
On the MF Show, Jerry and Richard will bring in some of the greatest people in our industry, from racers like Mario Andretti and Ivan Stewart, to builders and designers like Chip Foose and Jimmy Shine. Follow along as we give you never before seen insights into these industry giants, and the industry as a whole. This is the MF Show brought to you by MagnaFlow.
