Conner and Micky reflect on growing up surfing in the 805, looking up to all the local pros, and aspirations of making the Dream Tour. The two dive into navigating sponsorships, making content that actually feels fun like Young Wise Tails and #FatBoySurfCamp, and resisting the pressure to chase trends or validation. Micky discusses the dilemma of pursuing a career as a firefighter vs. a career as a pro surfer, and how an email from Vans during his stint at the fire academy changed his entire trajectory. They chat about the storytelling and the creative work alongside Chapter 11 and Dane Reynolds, his many nicknames, working with Hayden Shapes, and the realities about what it takes to keep momentum going while still being present and in the moment. They talk food, snowboarding, golfing, and much more. Crack one open and enjoy.
