All I Need Skate

Seth Pernal (@formerlyfakie) sits down and tells it straight. Rhode Island roots, filming video parts — then drinking, cocaine, a breakup, and getting arrested with coke on him one week into sobriety. Raw, honest, no filter.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, call or text 988 (US, 24/7).

Episode 442: Building the Dream with Conrad Ferla – Art, Hustle, and Global Decks

Show Notes:

Welcome back to the All I Need Skate Podcast! This week, I’m sitting down with my good friend and business partner, Conrad Ferla. We’re pulling back the curtain on the industry and talking about what it really takes to build a brand from the ground up.

If you've ever wondered about the behind-the-scenes hustle of running a skate company, this episode is for you. We get into the grit, the artwork, and the massive milestones we've hit along the way.

In this episode, we cover:

 The Grind: The hard work, late nights, and pure dedication it takes to build All I Need Skate Distribution, All I Need Skate Co., and driving the vision for World Industries.

 The Art of the Deck: Our creative process for developing skateboard graphics, featuring massive shoutouts to the incredible artists we collaborate with to bring those ideas to life: Peter James Glenn, Paul Francis Lambert, Nick Barthe, and Matt Schnepf.

 Global Milestones: We reflect on some of our proudest business highlights, including what it feels like to ship our decks to skaters all around the world.

 Private Press Division: A deep dive into our custom manufacturing side, where we produce top-tier art and skateboards for local skate shops and other independent brands.

 What’s Next (New Wheels!): We give an exclusive sneak peek at our upcoming project—the official All I Need skate wheels. We’re beyond hyped to roll out the Quint Crushers, Pelican Food, Dock Blockers, and Skullpuss lines we've been dialing in!
