So excited to re-release one of my favorite podcast episodes

Tony Hawk 11 years in a row world skateboarding champion

He's made over a hundred million dollars worth of video games all about skateboarding. I interviewed him

It's a little over two years ago in May 2016 at Jason Gayneur's mastermind talks conference and

I remember on the way to the conference

I drove with Tony and we passed this skateboarding park here. He is 48 years old

And he said before he stopped by the hotel to pick me up

He stopped by the skateboarding park and was just skateboarding and all these kids were like are you Tony Hawk and

He of course like yeah, and you're showing them tricks and they were showing him stuff

Here he was 11 times the world champion of skateboarding and he took the time out just in his spare time

He had a few extra moments and he just loved it

He just wanted to play and hang out and talk to these kids and I think that's the real example of peak performance

You have to just love something so much that you not only

Emmerce yourself in it to get better you immerse yourself in it because that's all you want to do

And we had a great time talking on the podcast about what it takes to be a peak performer and then not only that

He couldn't stay at his level forever at the world champion level

But he reinvented himself to become a businessman and he's a powerful

Brand now in the skateboarding industry including you know again over a hundred million dollars with a video games

so a great interview and I think you'll enjoy it now. Here's the show

This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host

This is the James Altiger show on the choose yourself network
