<p>Vince Skelly makes sculptures out of wood, oftentimes using a chainsaw. Some look like chess pieces, some look like furniture, some actually are furniture. They can be seen in a lot of interesting places, and we’ve...

<p></p><p></p><p>The academic life - it’s pursuit of many. A lot of days, you get to be the smartest person in the room, and on other days you get to hang out with the other smartest people from other rooms. It seems...

<p>How do you know when you’re doing too much? It has to be hard balancing a career as a professional skateboarder while being the founder of one of our world’s best events (and, we truly do mean best), all the while...

<p></p><p>We’re all creative in one way or another (especially the listeners of this pod) – some write, some build, some paint. However, there are times that even the most creative among us are stopped in their tracks...

<p>Today on the pod we’re joined by Leif Hauge, a footwear designer who’s currently making his mark at New Balance Numeric, as well as holding it down with own creative practice. Also, the dude rips. We get into...

<p>It’s a big one today, folks! We talked to one of VP’s (and let’s be real, one of a lot of people’s) favorite skaters, Gino Iannucci. We talked his new release with ASICS, Long Island’s rich history of skateboarding...

<p>One of the best things about bringing VP to Substack has been becoming immersed in an entirely new content ecosystem – people are using Substack for so many creative things :) A few months back our attention was...
