On Episode 13 of ZEROPOD, Toady Hawk sits down with skateboarding legend, philanthropist, and brand new Nouner Bob Burnquist!
Bob talks about his childhood growing up in Brazil under an oppressive regime that actually banned skateboarding in public, and how he made it from those humble beginnings to tearing up the X Games and pulling fakies with Tony in Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
We also chat about his web 3 journey, and why he thinks blockchain is a huge unlock for funding public goods. Two days ago, Bob became an official member of Nouns DAO, and we talk here about what attracted him to our onchain community, and his excitement for future collaboration opportunities.
We hope you enjoy this episode. Please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE if you do!
