This is the tenth and final part in a 10-part exclusive interview series with Bo Jackson, where the entrepreneur and legendary star athlete shares stories of his childhood, what motivates him in his business career, the nature of today&rsquo;s younger generation, how he balances work, family and his spare time, his philosophy on achieving success and much more. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/bo-jackson-the-1851-exclusive-interview-2708019" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">You can find the first part of 1851&rsquo;s exclusive interview series here</a>.

Bo Jackson didn&rsquo;t get to where he is now as a legendary two-sport athlete and successful entrepreneur without putting in a lot of hard work. But as he looks back on his career and ponders where he&rsquo;ll continue to go in the future, Jackson notes that there are two more elements that have helped him along the way.

&ldquo;I always think about that pathway. But I know that my grandfather gave me a big piece of him and my mother gave me a big piece of her. And to have both of those ingredients in this mixture &mdash; or whatever you want to call it &mdash; makes me the person that I am. And it makes me want to succeed,&rdquo; said Jackson in the tenth and final part of his exclusive interview with 1851 Franchise.

As Jackson continues to move forward in the food business, he&rsquo;s remaining true to his roots by not taking the concept of &ldquo;celebrity&rdquo; too far. What motivated him at first is still what motivates him now.

When asked what makes him happy, he answered, &ldquo;Never giving up. Success at anything. Period.&rdquo;
