ABOUT THIS EPISODE

When Will Unwin left the city for a slower life on the Sunshine Coast, he didn’t expect to end up owning Penco Motorsports — or navigating the pressures that come with turning your passion into your livelihood. In this episode, Will shares how an unexpected injury changed his career path, how burnout nearly pulled him away from the motorcycle industry entirely, and why running a small business on the Coast can feel so different from city life. It’s a conversation about risk, reinvention, and protecting what you love — even when it becomes your job.

Secret Sunshine is produced and hosted by Dominic Girard at Handover Media. The original music is composed and performed by Max Henry. Learn more about the show - including how to sponsor it - at secretsunshine.ca.
