Though Georgios studied law, he never intended to pursue it professionally. Town & Country Magazine reported that he, in a conversation with Forbes Brazil, revealed,

As per PR Newswire, Georgios released a statement about Sabalenka's collaboration with his brand in January 2024.

"It’s no easy feat to be a driver in the midst of the whirlwind of growth that is Oak. But the Porsche Cup races and training sessions are almost always on weekends. So, if I maintain a routine of physical training in my daily life, in addition to psychological support to cope with the pressure [therapy twice a week], I’m always prepared for the moment of driving. Getting in the car and racing is one of the few moments when nothing else matters."
