My guest today is Sebastien Jarrot

On today's show, we talk about the C-word. Yes, folks the C-word - CYCLING. And a whole lot of other words that start with the letter C.

Sebastien is a good friend and a good friend of the podcast. He's always been very supportive of this passion project.

I've always wanted to have Sebastien on the show because I know how much he loves cycling in the mountains. He could be riding in the shadows of the legends who raced up Col du Galibier and Col Glandon during the Tour de France or he could be exploring the gravel roads over a remote mountain pass into another valley.

But I also wanted him on the show to talk about his role as Head of content creation for Assos cycling apparel. A global brand and pioneer is cycling apparel innovation.

A sports brand and outdoor brand that helps us to enjoy and express ourselves in the mountains. I hope I can talk to more brands in the future.

So when I started to think about what questions I was to ask Sebastien and the themes I wanted to talk about. I started to write down words like curiosity, curated, communication, channels, and creativity. His role is very much about this endeavour.

But then other C words kept coming up, like Comebacks, Challenges, Climbing, Coffee and Characters. The C word became a theme for this conversation.

So I hope you enjoy this interview with Sebastien, he is a real genuine character and someone who I admire for the way he has created a life around his passion for cycling.

As a bonus episode, Sebastien agrees to take the Beyond the Mountains questionnaire to reveal his true mountain character. So you can listen to that after this intriguing conversation.

Hello friends, I am your host Ashley Pettit welcome to another episode of Beyond the Mountains podcast. Where I talk to people who live, work and play in the mountains.

Let's start the intro music and get on with the show. Allons-y
