coming out the other side of that and realizing what is truly important.
And that is my family.
And that's when I felt much more comfortable in my own skin.
And I had a sense of confidence.
I always felt pretty confident with my skateboarding, but more that I...
I'm not trying to prove myself all the time and more that it's just fun.
And that, that is very liberating.
And that kind of puts you at ease and makes you feel, I guess, better about yourself.
Cause there is sort of a, there's sort of a issue with, um,
not anxiety but just just your your social skills you're socializing the only way i knew how to socialize was skateboarding so people thought once i got really good at it people thought oh he's just pompous he doesn't talk to anyone i was like i don't i don't know what to say i feel just as uncomfortable as you do just because i'm good at that at this doesn't make it any different
No, no, no.
Well, I was always good with my kids when I was around.
But when things started taking off, I was chasing them further than I ever should have and getting caught up in the cycle and the hype and whatever else.
So I think it was more –
coming through that and just realizing I could just say no.
That was the moment.
Like, I don't have to go to this thing.
I'm saying yes to every single thing.
And a lot of it is unnecessary and also not to the benefit of skateboarding.
It's just to the benefit of my ego.
