Skate shoe repair AND Lord of the Rings?? It's the collab no one saw coming (or asked for) but I'd never lead you astray - It comes in the final chapter of the Two Towers "The Choices of Master Samwise" where Sam faces the monumental decision to take the Ring from Frodo.

Tolkien explores despair, as Sam's destiny and free will come crashing together, and he's left all alone to decide whether to move forward to the Crack of Doom.

While entrepreneurship offers the freedom to "be your own boss" there're many unspoken challenges that come with having to build your own support systems. By paying attention and trial and error, building a new business taught me how to hold myself accountable, prioritize what makes an impact, and only rewards those who Get Things Done.

Skateboarding is a process of small, incremental improvements. It helps teach that the goal (and success) isn't perfection, but growth through consistent challenge.

That same principle applies to pretty much all aspects of life. Boarding taught me how to not only accept failure, but also seek it out, and recognize when others are doing the same.
