Welcome to episode #2. Today's guest is Evan Schiefelbine. Evan has a deep background in skateboarding, literature & product merchandising.

Evan grew up skateboarding in CA, along the borders of LA County, North Orange County & the Inland Empire. In the early 00’s, he was part of the Blind Skateboards team, and was featured in the Blind film “What If”.

While skating for Blind, he finished a degree in English. This combination of skating & literature, eventually led him to combine his two interests, via fictional stories such as “Ocean Green” and “The Good Fool”.

In this interview, Evan shares part of his journey as a skateboarder & writer. He'll also share some helpful insights, in his approach to writing, getting started & the type of momentum you can build along the way. I learned some helpful tips & I'm sure you will to.

Evan recently released his 2nd book called, Ocean Green. After reading his first book, The Good Fool...I became a fan of Evan's style of writing & was stoked to read his new book.

We shared some great years working together at Vans. Evan is an all around great person to talk with, which made this interview that much more fun.

I highly recommend you order a copy of his new book, "Ocean Green" at www.thegoodfool.com

Enjoy the show.
