About this episode

A great, refreshing and honest chat with Jon Modica - Cabrinha’s head honcho. We hear the story of how Jon went from Team Ripper right up to Chairman of the Board.

We were excited for this one having heard murmurings of a connection between Cabrinha and Mikes Lab for their new foil range connection system - we had to find out the truth!

Had to put the second and third photos up alongside.....
