For me, I'm a skateboarder.If I'm not skating then I'm going crazy. The big deals, if I'm not skating, it's not worth it.

No one is going to give it to you. Spend everyday getting better and focus on that which you can control, let everything else fall into place. You can't stay focused on what you can get from success, but rather focus on becoming successful!

EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS A FANTASY UNTIL YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE IT A REALITY.

One thing about everything that I've done is it's so diverse and all over the place, from doing crazy stunts that I can't believe that I've done to launching professional skateboard leagues to all types of different business stuff and television shows. To me, I'm real proud of the body of work, that I've done as opposed to one thing specifically.

I'm a 6 AM guy. I get up at 6 AM every morning so I can knock out my email, phone calls and start the day.

My gift is execution; when I decide I'm going to do something, I'll stop at nothing to do it. Along the way, you take a lot of risks and go for it, but you have to believe in it. You gotta believe in your idea, and lucky for me, I found a lot of success in that.

Never undervalue the idea of partners. Understanding your strengths and then going out trying to find like-minded people who will be another pillar of your success.
