I first heard Jeff on Vital MTB's podcast titled The Financial State of MTB which really blew my mind. This dude can analyze so many different angles of the bike industry being an avid mountain biker/pro racer combined with a background of finance, tech, and start ups. He digs beneath the surface to truly understand how things are the way they are and learn from the past to understand the future. In today's world most opinions are surface level and it is refreshing to talk to someone that views the bike industry from so many angles.
We discuss learning about the bike industry from earnings calls of Fox Factory, trends and predictions of the bike economy, and his personal take on certain brands/preferences. This may be one of the most fascinating podcast interviews I have done yet and I hope you think so too!
P.S. He is coming out with a competitive product to Strava!!!!
