This one was fun so hold onto your boards! I’m talking to the one and only Poe Pinson, right near the beach. Poe is an Olympian skateboarder who’s crushing it on the ramps—and she’s sharing her speedy journey to international stardom with all of us! From the first time she ever stepped onto the newly named Poe Pinson Skate Park in Fernandina Beach, FL (where I met her to record this episode) to standing tall at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Poe’s story is a wild ride of passion and perseverance.

Poe details the injuries she’s worked through, and the mental toughness that keeps pushing her, plus the pivotal role her dad, Kenny Pinson, played in her success—and he joins us! So does a 10-year-old Poe Pinson protege named Coral Mae “Coco” Waldo (wait ‘til you see her skate!!)

The impact of the skateboarding community on all of their lives may even have you ready to grab your own board!
