Jacob Mclaughlin is a slackliner, high liner, leader, inspiration and overall powerhouse of a human living in Austin, TX. He and I met at a waterline festival at Pace Bend during one of my first days living in Austin. We have been brothers since.
In this episode we connect on his childhood in Austin, his journey with the slackline, his connection with his border collies, and preparing to move into a van full time with his wife. Jacob also shares his passion for freestyle highlining, the expansion of the Slackline community in Austin, and his visions for the future of the sport. Jacob is truly living a great story and the stories he shares on this podcast are special. It was an honor to drop into this conversation. Enjoy!
