Can you tell us about your background and what led you to start podcasting?
I am 30 years old, and I originally studied business law, but for the wrong reasons: I just wanted to make money. At 18, it was a pretty common goal. But over time, you realize that it is not what makes you happy or fulfilled. At 25-26, I received a job offer that was very interesting financially, but I decided to say no. I had no fallback options at that point, but I knew I wanted to follow my passion: cars and motorcycles.
For a few months, I struggled, I was living with my mother, and that's when the podcast came into my life, a bit by chance. I was a big podcast listener and I was looking for content that I couldn't find. So I said to myself: "Why not create it myself?" It was also a way to build a network in a field that I am passionate about, and to meet incredible people. The beginnings were difficult, people didn't believe in me, and I myself doubted the quality of what I was doing. But little by little, the craze was born, people started to be interested in it.
Today, it has become my job. I have a team, and I have recorded more than 180 episodes. Honestly, it is a dream come true. It requires a lot of hard work, but when you are passionate, the obstacles become much easier to overcome. I love meeting all these people, entering their worlds, discovering their stories. Understanding that behind each success, there were trials and tribulations, it motivates enormously and creates an incredible virtuous circle.

What role has your passion for automobiles played in your life, from childhood to today?
This is a complex question. Although my passion for cars was not directly transmitted to me by my father, who nevertheless owned iconic cars such as a 205 GTI or a Mégane convertible, these vehicles had a significant impact on me. My relationship with him was complicated, but I think it was by observing these cars and feeling the atmosphere surrounding them that the automobile began to occupy an important place in my life.
There is also the fact that, from a very young age, I devoured specialist magazines. I knew them by heart and could tell you, without hesitation, the price of a model based on its options, to the nearest euro. Even at night, I could recognise cars from several hundred metres away, just by the shape of their headlights. Later, with the arrival of YouTube, I would spend hours watching videos about cars. It is a passion that has never left me, it has always been there, unalterable.
As for the motorcycle, it came a little later in my life, when I got my license. That's when I really started to enjoy this other form of freedom that driving provides.

What are the values that are important to you and that shine through in your work?
The values that are important to me, and that are reflected in my work, start with passion. That's what guides me every day. Then there's respect. I really want to respect my guests. For me, that involves careful preparation. Before each interview, I take the time to call the person, then I work a good ten hours to dig, look for information, and really learn everything about their background. It's my way of showing respect: arriving in front of someone knowing almost better than them the details of their life shows that you take your job seriously.
There's also what I would call consistency. I don't know if it's really a "value," but it's very important to me that the brands I collaborate with are in sync with the content I create. When there's that alignment, everyone benefits, and it creates interesting synergies.

How would you describe your interview style and what you want to convey through your episodes?
My interviewing style is distinguished by a very natural and intuitive approach. I don't consider myself a journalist, and I don't really like the term "interview" either. I don't prepare questions in advance, but I do extensive research to master my guests' backgrounds. This allows me to easily bounce off their answers and keep the conversation flowing, without breaking the flow with pre-established questions.
My goal is to put my guests at ease, often by getting them to talk about their childhood or their dreams. It's a way to get away from the classic, technical questions they're used to. It builds trust, and they often end up opening up more spontaneously.
I also prefer face-to-face meetings because they create a real connection. Each place is different; their living room, their garage… and I adapt to this environment while respecting their personal space. My role is to remain consistent and professional, so that the person feels confident and can express themselves freely.

What were the biggest challenges you faced when launching your podcast?
The biggest challenges in launching my podcast? Honestly, everything! (laughs). It took me 14 episodes to figure out how to record properly, even though I was a total computer whiz. Even today, I sometimes wonder how I managed to break into such a digital field. Every step was a challenge, but at the same time, it wasn't really, because when you're passionate, you persevere and things eventually fall into place.
Another challenge is that the podcast operates in a niche market, focused on motorcycles and automobiles. We have finally made a place for ourselves, but I refuse to give in to the temptation of easy content, the kind that buzzes without really lasting. My goal is to create episodes that I can be proud of in 20 years, not just ride the wave of instant popularity.
Can you tell us about a memorable moment or a guest who particularly left an impression on you?
I could tell you lots of incredible stories, because the exceptional has become a bit of my daily life with all the inspiring people I meet. But there is one that I have not often shared and that is just crazy: that of my meeting with Fred Vasseur, the boss of Ferrari.
It all started a bit bizarrely: I got his number from a directory (yes, I kind of "stole" the info). I called him, and against all expectations, he agreed to meet me: at the 24 Hours of Le Mans! The problem was that I didn't even have a ticket for the event. After a few acrobatics, I managed to find one and showed up for the meeting. But Fred wasn't there. I wandered around the paddocks and, completely by chance, I ran into him. I decided to go see him and jokingly asked him: "So Fred, have you forgotten me?", even though we didn't even know each other (laughs). Luckily, I was with people he knew, which immediately broke the ice and gave him confidence.
A week later, I sent him an email telling myself that I probably wouldn't get a response. And then, surprise: he answered me directly, told me that he was up for it, but on one condition: that it took place at Ferrari, in Maranello. From there, things got serious. Ferrari lent me a Roma to make the trip to Italy, which was already a childhood dream. I found myself doing a 45-minute episode with Fred Vasseur, a new format for Ferrari, because team managers never do such long interviews.
It was a moment of pure pressure, but above all an unforgettable memory. Doing an interview in Maranello with the boss of Ferrari was just surreal.

Who was your best guest and who is the one you would dream of meeting?
It's almost impossible to answer this question, as each guest has left their mark on me in their own way. I've had incredible moments with each of them. To be honest, beyond sharing through videos or podcasts, it's above all a personal adventure. I enjoy myself, I create memories that, for me, are engraved forever. There's even a little selfish side to all this, because I learn incredible life lessons from each encounter. So, choosing a "best" guest is just impossible for me.
What are your current and future plans for "In the Glove Box"?
Currently, my main goal is to continue producing high-quality episodes. I'm not so much looking to increase the volume anymore, but rather to create "bangers" that will become classics. For the future, I plan to go international and develop English content.
At the same time, I am writing a book that will be a spin-off of "Dans La Boîte à Gants", in a format that is particularly close to my heart. I received proposals from publishers, and I decided to embark on this adventure. The book is scheduled for release by Christmas 2025.
Do you have any personal projects or passions outside of podcasting and production?
Yes, absolutely! Cars and motorbikes remain my fundamental passions but I also really like travelling and watches, even if I realise that I have a penchant for expensive things (laughs).
I am also fascinated by the process of creation and construction, by seeing projects come to life and evolve. For example, I have real estate projects in progress, and I love to reflect on all of this to determine the best way forward.
What is your ultimate dream in your career and how do you plan to achieve it?
My ultimate dream, as far as the podcast goes, would be to meet Keanu Reeves. As a motorcycle enthusiast, he has his own brand, and I really aspire to have him on my podcast. I'm working hard to make that happen, although it takes time in this business.
On a more personal level, I have already reached a point that I was aiming for. I didn't have so many aspirations, but I would really like to develop an international dimension, with podcasts and videos in English, travel more and continue to meet inspiring people while earning my living this way, which is incredible. In the future, I also see myself as a facilitator, a link between brands and talents, whether in the automotive, cinema or music sectors; areas that I am extremely passionate about. I have lots of dreams, and having them constantly is what motivates me.

Why did you agree to become an ambassador for Morex?
My collaboration with Morex started in Rennes, where I heard about the project while I was still living there. Intrigued, I met Simon and Kevin, and we quickly decided to create a three-episode podcast together. Morex's story is really beautiful, and I loved staying in touch with people I get along with.
It's not complicated: I completely agree with what they represent. The Morex team members are great people, and I feel in tune with their values. Having worked with them on several episodes, I followed their adventure from the beginning and I found it great. We really grew together, each with our own goals, but always connected. I was sincerely happy to see their success, even from a distance from Paris.
I also appreciate the artistic direction aspect of Morex, which reflects values such as freedom, motorcycling, travel and exploration. These concepts speak to me a lot.
How do you think your collaboration with Morex aligns with what you're doing with "Dans La Boîte à Gants"?
My collaboration with Morex is perfectly aligned with the values I defend in "Dans La Boîte à Gants". As I mentioned, it is not about seeking buzz or ephemeral success. I firmly believe in the importance of offering quality products, whether in terms of clothing or images. I also strive to show with "Dans La Boîte à Gants" that success is not built in two days.
Morex advocates a sustainable approach and builds its project thoughtfully, without rushing. They respect the integrity of their vision and are committed to improving quality with each new collection.
