Rodney
Mullen is widely considered to be the most influential skateboarder in
skateboarding history. He shares with humility and passion how the constant
search for improvement has led to outstanding innovations and how we can all
learn from lessons of great skateboarders.
You
may not think that skateboarding and success have much in common, but there is
one thing skateboarders definitely know how to do: get back up. Skateboarders crash repeatedly for hours and
hours in hopes of landing the perfect trick. It's a great analogy for finding
success in your own ventures. Nobody lands a kick-flip the first time they try
it.
More
importantly, Mullen talks about the factor that makes you get back on the board
again. There are a ton of people with the strength and acrobatic ability—or
"gears"—to take on skateboarding tricks, but without the desire to
get back up after getting broken and bruised—or the "engine"—you'll
never actually succeed at what you're trying to accomplish. Remember, life is
full of scraped shins, broken arms, and groin shots—but you have to get back on
the board.
