Jared Zaugg on Motorcycles as Art, Culture, and Connection

About this episode

Jared Zaugg shares his personal journey of how motorcycles became a significant part of his life, influenced by his older brother.

Jared Zaugg remembers the exact moment that motorcycles entered his life. He was an impressionable teenager, who, like many younger siblings, thought the world of his older brother. “He was super cool,” says Zaugg. “One day, he comes riding up to the house on a motorcycle he borrowed. I don’t even remember the brand or model, but that was it. I thought, ‘That’s for me.’”
