This thought was sparked mid-episode while Devante & Lou were reviewing Felipe Nunes’ “Limitless” skate part.

Community is something we believe everyone should be a part of, whether it is in your neighborhood, something at your school, or the BEST COMMUNITY OF ALL. Skateboarding. This is exactly what your host Devante discusses in today’s episode. See every time Devante hops on Instagram there is always something going on in the skateboarding community that lights up his world. From skateboard companies giving away all of their proceeds to help others, to the mob of skateboarders you now see every June 21st for Go Skateboarding Day. Lou and Devante both feel that even if you do not skateboard (which you should give a try!) you can still get so much value from walking into the right local skate shop.

When it is 1:30 am at night the day before the podcast episode is supposed to drop this is what you get from your host Devante. This episode is all about us humans dealing with technical difficulties, not just on these devices we seem to use most of our days if not every day, but also in our lives. No matter what you decide to do as a human, there are undoubtedly going to be things that trip us up, make us want to just stop what we are doing, or just not do anything at all. Devante goes into fatherhood and the pressures he feels from that, the joy of getting back on his feet, and how his week has led him to the topic of today’s episode, dealing with technical difficulties.
