Episode 033 Kent Dahlgren, Skateboarder, Hacktivist, Skatepark Advocate, Socially Conscious Human

Kent is one of the most fun and interesting people I know. We met through skateboarding both being skatepark advocates and that relationship together helped the Public Skatepark Development Guide Publication come together, and bonded a great friendship.

Kent is one of the original members of the group that built Burnside Skatepark in Portland, and advocated for it's legitimacy, and went on to help found and run Skaters for Public Skateparks.

This is definitely an interesting listen as you'll hear about Kent's skateboarding roots, and his present focus with his company 214Alpha in helping communities achieve financial and social self sufficiency, and the complexity and simplicity of it all amazes me. Basically, Kent is smarter than you and me.

This is probably the only podcast you'll hear the all these words in the same conversation.. Skateboarding, Skatepark Advocacy, Little Rock Arkansas, Guerrilla Gardener, Skaters for Public Skateparks, Tony Hawk Foundation, Skaters for Portland Skateparks, Non Monetary Capital, Community Building, Self Governance, Algorithm, Elasticity, Enoughness, Growth and Diversity, Hyper Local Governance, and much more.

Hope you enjoy listening and knowing that there are Skateboarders are at the forefront of technology to help society at large.
