Show notes

Brett Sorem is the author of Land On Both Feet: Grind Through Life with a Skateboarder’s Mindset. His journey has taken him from carving the streets of San Diego to skitching cabs in New York City, making nearly every major metropolitan area his home at one point or another. Through it all, one thing remained constant: his skateboard was always by his side. By the age of 20, he was sponsored by big names like Billabong, Oakley, and Savier Shoes, but he faced a life-defining choice - continue his education or pursue his skateboarding dream full-time. 🎙️In this episode, we explore: ✅ Growing up between baseball and skateboarding ✅ Making sponsor tapes and learning rejection early ✅ Why failure and resilience are baked into skateboarding ✅ Writing Land On Both Feet and turning skate lessons into life lessons ✅ And why you should never push mongo (and what that means). 📌 Learn more about Brett: https://www.landonbothfeet.com/ 📬 Have you signed up for the newsletter yet?
