Summary: <br> Eliot Jackson has been on the podcast numerous times, offering his expertise for our World Cup analysis shows, but this time he gets his own episode. Eliot is definitely someone who really thinks about stuff, analyses life and is happy to break with convention, so I learned a lot from chatting with him. We cover his background in motocross, leaving school at a young age, his naivety when he started racing, web programming, investing and plenty more… so hit play and have a listen to my conversation with Eliot Jackson.<br> <br> <br> <br> This episode of the podcast is supported by The Strength Factory, and Ben is offering you 50% off your first month of their new ‘Complete MTB Programme’.
