In this conversation, Keegan sits down with professional skateboarder Jake Hayes. After moving to Los Angeles eight years ago, Jake opens up about the world of skateboarding and how he’s evolved from a skater who used to get angry and snap his board, to someone passionate about helping others facing similar struggles. For the first time publicly, Jake shares his story about his relationship with his father, whom he hasn’t spoken to in eight years, and how that has shaped his career. The duo also discusses the importance of relationships, Jake’s 2016 Skater of the Year title, and his burning desire to be the best he can be.
