This week I’m joined by Scotty Laughland. We chat about his journey from world cup downhill racer, to racing Enduro World Series. Then a stint as a presenter at GMBN, and on into his current role as someone who creates his own video content and stories for a number of brands. This means Scotty gets to travel the world, riding his bike with some of the top riders on the planet. Scotty shows that you don’t need to be a racer to make a living from riding bikes. Hit play and give it a listen.

You can follow Scotty on Instagram @scottylaughland, and check out his YouTube channel here.
