Skate pioneer Rodney Mullen innovated the sport with so many game-changing tricks he is commonly referred to as “The Godfather of Street Skating”. More than his accomplishments, Rodney is most proud of inspiring those after him to dream beyond the impossible. The man whose character was featured in Tony Hawk pro skater for over a decade shares the importance and impact of shattering disbelief and leveraging pain on this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu.

QUOTES:
“Rarely is it a question of talent or technique at those levels. It's just one of belief and the concomitant will to kind of do something that either no one's done before, or even more, I think, to crack open the barriers that people consider impossible or un-doable.” [3:00]
“The joy I get that I could create some of the vocabulary for others to express themselves, that gives me a connectedness” [17:58]
“Just find joy in what you do for the sake of it. And then recognize how you're being shaped in the process, and hopefully, you become a better man through it.” [27:04]
