A frequent traveler, guinness reviewer, and 2019 Eurotransnational winner, Hackett and I had much to discuss. We talk about the strangest food he\u2019s tried during his travels, how he broke out on YouTube and Instagram, and his favorite bridge formats.  Jason\u2019s mother Olivia introduced him and his twin brother to bridge at eleven years old. Though Jason does not discuss bridge much on his social media channels, he is a formidable opponent. He beat Boye Brogeland and Geir Helgemo in the Euro Juniors in 1994 and has represented England in the European Championships many times. Of bridge, he said \u201cI just enjoy playing, it does not matter with whom.\u201d You can read more about Jason in his recent Esquire feature.
