Tony Hawk didn't just change skateboarding—he built the industry around it. In this episode, Tony sits down with Brad Lea for a raw, honest look at what it really took to go from broke skater sleeping in a van to launching a billion-dollar video game franchise and funding over 900 skate parks for underserved communities.
From landing the first-ever 900 at the X Games to controlling his brand, navigating fame, and building a legacy through the Skatepark Project, Tony shares the untold lessons behind his resilience, discipline, and quiet success. You'll hear his mindset around fame vs. wealth, how he dealt with setbacks and injuries, and what he's most passionate about today.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, or someone chasing purpose—this is a masterclass in turning passion into purpose and staying true to your values the entire ride.
