Podcast: Eliot Jackson on Breaking with Convention
Words Chris Hall : Photo Hunter Paull
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.
You can also listen by searching for ‘Downtime Podcast’ on iTunes, Spotify, or Google Podcasts, by asking Alexa, or over on our website http://www.downtimepodcast.com/eliot-jackson/ and you can follow us on Instagram @downtimepodcast

Should probably be graduating into live commentary for RedBull soon. Too much knowledge and enthusiasm to be wasted on stock brokering, real estate, website design and programing.

Looking forward to hear him later, he always presented himself with a really cool vibe and different approach - and more, he's not into the "I'm stocked" every 5 seconds kinda thing. That's a big win for me!
