From Rock Music to a Million-Dollar Lexus LFA | John Gibson | Caffeine & Octane Podcast Ep. 11

from Caffeine and Octane Podcast · host Bruce Piefke

In Episode 11, host Grant Van Brewer sits down with John Gibson, entrepreneur, former CEO and co-founder of Tripwire Interactive, current CEO of Templar Media, and passionate automotive enthusiast with an incredible collection of exotic, JDM, and classic performance cars. John shares his remarkable journey from being broke, without a job or even a reliable car, to building one of the most successful independent video game studios in the world. Along the way, they discuss his background as a professional metal musician, creating blockbuster games like Killing Floor, Maneater, and Chivalry 2, launching Templar Media, and his vision for Gate Zero. Of course, no conversation would be complete without talking cars. John gives us a look inside The Legacy Collection, including the legendary Lexus LFA, one of the most celebrated supercars ever built. The conversation also explores drag racing, track driving, collecting rare automobiles, and the passion that fuels every chapter of his life.
