(Audio Version) #233 - Aimee Massie: Judging Olympic Skateboarding. Going Viral. Resilience. Kindness.

Terrible. Happy. Talks.

Join us as we get to know Amiee Massie, a skateboarder, content creator, and Olympic skateboarding judge. Aimee shares about her captivating journey from growing up in a housing commission area of the Gold Coast, to her current life of global travel, creativity, and developing her personal brand. Steve Tierney, sits in as co-host this week, and adds another layer to the conversation, making it a robust discussion about passion, resilience, and crafting a unique path in the skateboarding world and life in general.
Aimee's narrative recounts her early days; an unwavering commitment to her dreams and an obvious gender imbalance at the skate park, a place she also found solace from a seemingly confusing home environment as a teenager. Hear about her viral rise on social media, her challenges balancing multiple commitments, and the rigorous physical demands of aging in a craft that demands peak physical performance. From knee dislocations to the exhilaration of being included in skate demos along side her childhood heroes, Amiee's tales offer a raw and inspiring look at the grit required to excel in whatever you choose to do in this life.
Enjoy,
Shan
