This is a cool, great interview with great questions! As a clothing company owner and graphic artist, I can totally relate to 'convincing people I'm worth gambling on.' This is definitely harder than actually starting a company. The tax and legal stuff is intimidating, but definitely a breeze compared to the latter. No matter what, though, if you have an idea, it's far better to take the risk now on yourself than to wait, never commit, and then look back and say, 'Man, I wish I had just tried it out. Will definitely be following on the gram, thanks for the great video!

Very cool to hear he values american made over the cheaper options thats means a lot to some of us. I like the war theme graphics, gonna have to check one out after I work through my stockpile of decks.

[@TheReal_DeanD]

That’s the rough part. It’s really hard for a new board company to gain traction. One shop Southside in Houston Texas seems to mix up between new companies and established companies. I hope the homie can gain traction.

[@fatdadskatesbad]

Make sure to check out the end of the video for the give away I will announce the winner next week just message a screenshot of you following his page on instagram and you can win yourself a new board for free. Thanks for the comment man good luck!! 🤙

@@fatdadskatesbadhey skinny Dad. Since my luck stinks I’m just going to buy that assassin deck. I think it’s rad. I’m going to put my US made Switch Supply grip on it. Can’t wait to feel that concave and checking out the graphic. That submarine graphic is rad too.
