In this episode, I spoke with former world champion skimboarder Austin Keen. Austin is one of the biggest names, talents, and most recognizable characters in skim, wake surfing and water sports.

Millions of followers watch his viral skim and wakeboarding videos as he expresses his creativity and skills on beaches, oceans and lakes around the world.

Not only is Austin one of the best wakeboarders and skimboarders in the world but he is absolutely crushing it with big brand deals, celebrity collaborations and he even appeared on The Ellen Show.

In this episode, we unravelled the remarkable journey of an athlete who discovered his exceptional talents and merged his passion for action sports with the entrepreneurial spirit.

We explored the pivotal moments when Austin realized he possessed something genuinely extraordinary. We also discussed how the path of entrepreneurship intertwines with the inherent risks and challenges of action sports.

Austin candidly shares personal anecdotes from his childhood growing up in Georgia and how he found his way to the west coast where he found a new paradigm of life and established his reputation as a professional skimboarder.

Keen answered questions about the lessons he learned on his way up on the skimboarding circuit, and we dug deep to discover what exactly is the fuel that drives him every day and surprisingly, it has a bit to do with his former life in plumbing.
