In our final episode of 2025, host Alex Wolfe welcomes chemical engineer and author of Power Up: An Engineer's Adventure into Sustainable Energy, Yasmin Ali for an extensive discussion on how energy shapes our everyday lives, even when we barely notice it.

Using stories from her book, Yasmin explains how energy moves from source to socket, why we take electricity and hot water for granted and what really happens behind the scenes of power stations, pylons, pipelines and batteries.

Wolfe Power Club thanks you for your contribution and support this past year. We will be resuming the season on January 7th next year with many more big discussions from the energy industry!

Our host Alex Wolfe welcomes RM Sotheby’s Director of Private Sales, Harvey Stanley, back to the podcast for a festive Christmas special reviewing a landmark year in the global car auction market.

Harvey shares behind-the-scenes insights into RM Sotheby’s biggest moments of 2025 including the record-breaking Ferrari Le Mans sale in Paris and the discreet multi-million-dollar sale of Ayrton Senna’s iconic 1991 Formula 1 McLaren. We also explore auction records, sealed bidding, 1990s supercar trends, influencer buyers and why some classics struggled to meet reserve. There was a rockstar moment where they helicoptered in Gordon Murrary's S1 LM into Las Vegas auction.

Looking ahead to 2026, Alex and Harvey discuss must-attend events, potential record-setting lots and advice for aspiring auctioneers entering the industry. Alex and Harvey look forward to meeting up at the auctions in Monaco and London in 2026.
