Today on the Podcast, we show a never-before-seen interview filmed in 2020 at the start of the covid pandemic with Jesse Matthews. Jesse is a former combat medic with the United States Army. He's now the product manager of TEXA and SP Tools USA at CEAS. Before he landed that role, many other things had to fall into place. He is the company's 1st employee and the son of Lee Locklear, so you know he's got some great stories about the origins of CEAS. From the good to the bad and the ugly, sit back and enjoy as father and son reminisce the inception of Cutting Edge in a humble garage to the multi-million-dollar business that now takes up a city block. Welcome to the Cutting Edge Garage Podcast!

Today's guest Jeff Crutcher started racing Moto in 1995 on a white KTM 50 SXR. Jeff later landed a job with FedEx and quickly decided that corporate life was not for him. He continued to race while collecting dozens of championships, running his own sticker company, instructing hundreds of racers, and launching three successful brands. He now manages his own team, Cycle Zone Powersports KTM. We wanted to know what drives Jeff to become so accomplished in what he does and what keeps him pushing to the next level of everything he is involved in. Welcome to The Cutting Edge Garage Podcast!

In January 2001, Nitro Dave’s LLC started out by reselling performance products, filling nitrous bottles, and supplying race fuel. It quickly became a full-blown speed shop, complete with installation and tuning services. In 2003, Nitrous Outlet was born. Nitrous Outlet originally developed unique nitrous accessories used in conjunction with other system brands. Through Dave’s tuning and racing of nitrous-fed applications, he discovered a void in properly designed products due to a lack of research, and development in the industry. Dave made the choice to sell off the speed shop, and devote his life to pushing the Nitrous Outlet brand name to be #1 in the industry. Welcome to The Cutting Edge Garage Podcast.
