The X Games is the pinnacle event in action sports, and while it's not what it once was, the new ownership group, MSP Sports Capital, plans to not only turn that around but make the X Games property bigger than ever.

As I do with all my events, I make sure to talk to athletes, legends, behind-the-scenes players, and more to uncover the future of X and give you insight into what X was like this year.

This is an Operation Podcast production, connect with us @operationpodcast. How often do we mold ourselves to fit in? Join us as we unravel the complexities of identity and acceptance with Selema Masekela, a renowned storyteller and artist who's journey of self identity discovery is a testament to the power of self-love. Selema shares his experience of creating a character around his persona to assimilate in places where he was the 'other'. Breaking down the barriers of love and self-acceptance, Selema and I indulge in an honest exploration of relationships, the struggles of receiving love, and the essence of taking care of oneself before others. As we navigate through the landscape of fear-based living, we discuss the dangers of demonizing intelligence and highlight the importance of embracing love in our society. How does Selema live through love? "Allowing myself to be taught by love the soft lessons, the hard lessons and, as we said before, the ability to learn, how to continuously learn to receive it from all the different directions that it may be coming from, because sometimes that shit feels like an attack.” ----- In this episode, you will learn… Embracing individuality: the importance of self-identity and authenticity, highlighting his journey of self-discovery. The importance of self-love: It's crucial to fill our own cup first before we can give to others, emphasizing the importance of self-care and self-appreciation in our relationships. Empathy and vulnerability: These two traits play a vital role in today's society. They allow for deeper connections, understanding, and acceptance of others. The power of love: Selema shares his understanding of love shaped by past relationships and the control we can take over our narratives, demonstrating the transformative power of love. Creating inclusive spaces: Selema highlights the importance of inclusivity and diversity in all aspects of life, from sports to society at large. ----- About the guest: Selema Masekela is a prominent storyteller and artist, known for his inspiring journey of self-identity discovery and his experiences in the world of outdoor sports. Having made a significant transition from the East Coast to Carlsbad, California, Selema advocates for self-love, empathy, vulnerability, and the importance of owning one's own story, as well as fostering diversity and access in outdoor sports.

When Selema Masekela, storyteller and son of South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela, moved to Carlsbad in high school, surfing became his doctrine. He spent years working odd-jobs to fund his habit until he began producing and commentating for Transworld Skate, before he found his calling as an action-sports commentator and storyteller, using his voice to broaden the scope of representation in sport on an international scale. In this episode, Masekela talks with show host Jamie Brisick to talk about the crossover between surf, skate, and snowboard culture, recounting his exploration of Africa's rich surfing history in his book AFROSURF, finding common ground through music and surfing alike, visiting South Africa after Mandela's release in 1990, fitness, and his father's legacy.
Selema and Jason are longtime friends and fellow skateboard legends, who have had two very different life paths that both led them to reunite as announcers at this year's X Games, along with their other lifelong mutual friend, Tony Hawk. Just some of the baddest to ever do it, kicking it old school.

In January 2021 we sat down for what became a 3 hour conversation with the legendary Selema Masekela. We laughed, we cried, and by the end we realized we were undeniably tethered for life, a beautiful heart tether. We've had many people ask to hear the whole conversation, rather than the more edited 1 hour conversation we put out in April 2021. In this episode we go into beautiful stories about Selema's relationship with his father, the late great Hugh Masekela, and include a deeper conversation around making music himself, and what it meant in 2020 to shout about racial justice (and finally be passed a mic when doing so) in a sport as historically white as surfing. We're so please to present the full episode now. The music you hear at the very beginning is the multitalented and multifaceted Selema himself, with the song "All is Forgiven" from his band Alekesam.

Selema Masekela is a legend in the board sports community. When there were very few Black voices in skate, snow, and surf, he was there–hosting shows for Vice, ESPN, ABC and more. Now that the action sports world is growing more inclusive, Selema is a central figure in the conversation, pushing the industries he loves while also launching his own label, Mami Wata, the nation's first Afrocentric surf brand. In this deep-dive convo with Kweli and Jasmin, Selema shares memories of his world renowned father, jazz impresario Hugh Masekela, gets raw about how race is handled on the snow and in the surf, and talks about his new company. He also discusses his music, his recent viral tweet about vigilante justice, and so much more. This is a much needed interview with an icon in action sports and one of the best TV sportscasters in the game.
Selema Masekela is a beloved multifaceted TV commentator, host, journalist, musician, Emmy nominated producer, Fashion Entrepreneur, outdoor sports enthusiast and ocean warrior, best known for his work across VICE, E!, ESPN/ABC, Nat Geo Explorer, Red Bull Media House, MTV and beyond. A relentlessly curious narrator of the human experience, he thrives as a Black man who has historically been ‘the only' in the spaces of action sports and entertainment. As part of his diverse career, he worked at Transworld Skate Publications and became the the long-time face of the X Games. The son of South African jazz legend and activist Hugh Masekela, Selema‘s roots are as South African as they are Staten Island, New York City and North County San Diego. He is currently involved with the foundation Stoked Mentoring, a nonprofit action sports organization for at-risk youth, hosts the podcast What Shapes Us?, published the book AfroSurf along with launching the brand Mama Wata and continues to support the Surfrider Foundation as an Ambassador. Wether he is in the ocean catching waves or shredding down a mountain snowboarding Salema often finds himself channeling the spirit and love of his father as he plays a central role in the effort to create racial equality on both the water and on land.

In today's episode we talk with Selema Masekela - perhaps best known as the face of the X Games. But there is more to Selema's story than meets the eye. Son of a world renowned jazz musician ( Hugh Masekela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Masekela ) Selema grow up on the East Coast going to late night jazz clubs on the weekends, rubbing elbows with the greats. From there, he moved to Carlsbad, where he took naturally to the surf and skate culture. From working odd jobs to answering phones at Transworld, once Selema got his foot in the door, there was no looking back. From Board Aid to Planet. X, X Games to Redbull, Selema has held down hosting responsibilities at arguably the most important events to 18-35 year olds all over the world. Never one to rest on his laurels, today Selema is still hosting with Redbull as well as taking on entrepreneurial adventures and spending his free time holding down a board seat for a little company called Burton Snowboards (http://burton.com).

Selema Masekela is a beloved commentator, journalist, host, and Emmy nominated producer best known for his work across VICE, E!, ESPN/ABC, Nat Geo, Red Bull Media House and beyond. A relentlessly curious narrator of the human experience, he thrives as a Black man who has historically been ‘the only' in the spaces of action sports and entertainment. The son of South African jazz legend and activist Hugh Masekela, Selema‘s roots are as South African as they are New York City and San Diego. Music and water being the most influential parts of his life at the age of 16 he first felt 'at home' on a surfboard; at 8 you'd find him sitting at Birdland in late night jazz sessions with his father and Miles Davis. It's this unique life experience which paved the way for him not only becoming the face of ESPN's X-Games but also a musician himself, recording under the alias 'Alekesam' (Masekela backwards). His recently launched podcast, What Shapes Us?, explores he and his guests human experiences; who they are, what drives and gives them joy. Its mission is to highlight people and places through a mold breaking lens and redefine culture. He is the co-founder of Stoked Mentoring, an organization dedicated to mentoring at risk youth through action sports and the host of Hyundai's series The Un-Adventurers on Tastemade Network. In 2020, Selema was also welcomed onto the Board of Directors for Burton Snowboards as a general advisor. Selema joins us to talk what it's like to be the only person of color in the spaces you love, using whatever is in your toolbox to help break the cycle of racism, and how middle age is pretty sweet. • This episode of The Ready State Podcast is sponsored by Paleovalley Essential C Complex.

Long before Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and even Youtube, there was E! Entertainment Television. And, if you wanted celebrity news, the latest on Lindsey Lohan, breaking news about Britney, or inside scoop about your favorite boy band – this is where you would get it. The year was 2006. Our host Catt's life would be forever changed. At the time, she was a local tv reporter and mom of two boys living in Indiana with her then husband, when she got the call. After a round of auditions lasting several months, she was named one of three hosts of E!'s new show: The Daily Ten. Catt would move to Hollywood with her family and cover all things celebrity and pop culture five-days-a-week alongside her co-hosts Debbie Matenopoulos and Selema (formerly Sal) Masekela, on one of the most-watched entertainment news channels in the world. The D10 aired for four years before being cancelled. Today, for the first time in over a decade, the trifecta is back together. Catt, Debbie, and Selema reflect on IT ALL. The casting, the auditions, the work, the partying, the politics, the rivalries, the in-fighting, the clothes, the sex tape – everything. Including Julia Roberts. For God's sake, where in the world is JULIA? Prepare to laugh and cry with your old friends as they revisit this mostly charmed season of Hollywood history.(A special shout out to our EP Bob Lifton, supervising producer Stephanie Soechtig, and the rest of the D10 family who made this show possible!)

We literally laughed and cried speaking with Selema Mabena Masekela about racism in surfing; his journey building a career in a historically white, male and monied environment; and while swapping stories from childhoods in New England. It was a gift to hear about his legendary father, musician Hugh Ramapolo Masekela, and how his example helped Selema find his voice as an activist.

The son of South African jazz legend and activist Hugh Masekela, Selema‘s roots are as South African as they are New York City and San Diego. With lighthearted insight, Selema talks to Michael about his love of action sports and touring the world with his father.
