Episode 26: Small Business Wisdom From Clarkson’s Farm

What do a motorsport legend and a struggling farmer have in common?

Turns out, more than you'd think. In this episode of Full Throttle Finance™, we explore Season 4 of Amazon Prime’s Clarkson’s Farm and how Jeremy Clarkson’s shift from Top Gear/Grand Tour to hands-on agriculture mirrors the unpredictable reality of running a small business.

From navigating bureaucratic red tape to making intentional, community-first decisions, this episode dives into the financial risks, cash flow challenges, and team dynamics that define entrepreneurship, on or off the farm. We also unpack what Clarkson’s accountant, Charlie, teaches us about the value of honest advice, and how Clarkson’s crew of straight-talkers (including TikTok star Harriet the Farmer) help keep things grounded.

And yes, there’s plenty of humor along the way, including a Lamborghini tractor and a farm-to-table pub that refuses to serve ketchup unless it’s 100% locally sourced.

If you're building your own version of a Diddly Squat Farm, whether that’s a race team, a service business, or a growing side hustle, this episode offers the real talk and relatable lessons you need to keep moving forward.
