Summary
Cameron Talbott is getting his first pro skate this week. What’s crazy is that Cam is 37 years old, and while he was a sponsored am for a long time, he didn’t achieve pro status until he was 25. While that’s impressive, what’s even more impressive are the hammers and creativity that define his skating. Not too bad for a kid who came up with nothing in Missoula, Montana.
On the podcast, we talk about growing up with less, his badass mom, finding community in skating, SF, Valo, and so much more. It’s a good one, with a double dose of Inappropriate Questions featuring Erick Garcia and Tom Hyser.

| 0:13.3 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and man, I know I must sound like a broken record in these |
| 0:21.8 | intros because my life revolves around what's happening to my wife right now. |

| 1:15.9 | I mean, how do you explain things like cancer, Hitler, serial killers? |
