004 - The 20 Year Road to Becoming a Pro Skateboarder. Facing Rejection, Seeing Minimal Evidence, and LOTS of Patience. It’s Always Worth it in the End - with Chris Colbourn AKA my Boyfriend
Introducing… Chris Colbourn AKA Cookie. This episode will remind you that your dreams are worth trusting no matter what. On this episode, Chris shares about what it was like to move to California to pursue professional skateboarding at the age of 19. He faced rejection (more than once) that would have sent most people into a spiral. He was told to get a job, was left out of projects that he worked on for years, and… he just kept going.
Chris is not only the most devoted and hardworking human I’ve met, but he’s also my partner in life. I hope you enjoy listening!!
On this episode, we explore:
- A little bit about our relationship and how we met
- What Chris’s journey was like from moving to Cali from VT at the age of 19 to now
- How to stay the course of your dreams no matter what
- The key components to success (energy, mentorship, community, and more)
No matter what you’re pursuing or where you are on your path, you’ll leave this show feeling inspired and humbled.
