(Audio version) #236 - George Richards: Camaraderie. Skateboarding. Newcastle.

Terrible. Happy. Talks.

George Richards is a 27-year-old sponsored Skateboarder from Newcastle NSW Australia. Past guest and close friend of George, Aimee Massie sits in as this week's guest co-host. George takes us on a journey through his life so far, sharing deeply about his love for his home town, finding skateboarding, the importance of camaraderie and that time he met Aimee on the set of a Visa Paywave commercial shoot.
George reveals the balancing act of integrating skateboarding with other passions like skate coaching, negotiating brand deals, and his foray into fashion modelling. Plus, we explore the energy of live events and how a supportive community can elevate your performance and career.
We wrap up with personal stories that highlight the importance of family support and the unique communal vibes of skateboarding. George's innately easy-going and kind nature is apparent and endearing.
Throughout the episode, we play a variety of skate clips of George doing his thing, so check out the full video production on the Terrible Happy Talks Youtube channel.
Enjoy,
Shan
