Jackson Macdonald x The Price You Pay Podcast | Rider v Racer

We are excited to share Jackson’s first podcast appearance, alongside his dad, Glenn Macdonald.

Together they reflect on the journey that has taken Jackson from local race tracks in Australia, to racing in Spain, then Japan with Honda Racing School Suzuka and competing with Takeishi Technical Racing - culminating in his first international podium.

This conversation goes well beyond racing. It’s about family, resilience, learning and the pursuit of ambitious goals, including the price you pay financially and sacrifices in life made along the way.

In this episode:

🏁 What it really means to be a rider versus a racer.

🏁 Why development and embracing challenges must come before results.

🏁 The commitment, sacrifices and opportunities that continue to shape Jackson’s journey.

A sincere thank you to the @aussieathletefund for creating opportunities like this through the $1M Challenge and Elevate32 Masterclass. Programs like these help young athletes develop beyond competition and learn how to share their stories with authenticity.

A huge thank you also to Sarah from The Price You Pay podcast and Chatter Box Media for the opportunity to tell Jackson’s story.

We hope you enjoy the conversation. We’d love to hear what resonates with you most after listening.
