When I was growing up, I remember stressing about how to make money after school especially as high school graduation approached. I never even really considered if I just focused on casual hobbies I enjoyed they could be a way to make money. That’s not the case for Matt Miller, who grew up eating, sleeping, breathing skateboarding. His passion for it paid off as he started getting sponsors just by hanging out at the local skate shop and ended up riding for the skateboarding brand Expedition, who turned him pro in 2010. He even got DC shoes as his shoe sponsor. In this episode, I chat with Matt about how he created his first skateboarding tricks, how he got his first sponsorships and went pro, what it’s like to have your own signature sneaker, and what the day to day is like for a pro skater.
