let’s face it, if you have ever spent any significant amount of time on a skateboard, you have probably dreamt about working in “the industry” at one point or another. how could you not! you flip through the magazines and see these people touring the world, filming, skating, partying – you’d be an idiot if you said you wouldn’t want to do that for a living.
but how do you do it? there’s no guidebook or guaranteed way to get there. you can’t just go to grad school or college and get a major in it… so we figured we’d get in touch with a bunch of people that are successful in the industry and ask them for advice. remove the curtain and find out how they got started, what makes them tick and if it’s really as amazing as everyone likes to believe it is.
