Skateboarding and the entrepreneur part 3 the video part

No posts on skateboarding and its links to entrepreneurship would be complete with mentioning Rob Dyrdek the man who redefines what it is to be a skate mogul. Rap label, retail, multiple TV shows, animated show runner, founder of the street league skateboarding comp, multiple world record holder, serial investor and philanthropist. 

Sponsored at the age of 12 only one year after he got his first skateboard, he has always fostered the necessary mindset to succeed from a young age.   

"I was a pretty driven young man. I was so focused on becoming a pro skateboarder. I would sit in school and think about all the tricks I was going to do, then I’d get out of school and skate until they made me come inside."

It will take many posts just to scratch the surface of lessons you can learn from Dyrdek, for now just sit back and learn from the man himself.
