Ever think about how data can solve real-world problems? Rob and Justin are here to break it down! They're diving into how data analytics is changing the game in industries like manufacturing, agriculture, and construction—where the work is hands-on, and the results matter. From managing logistics to cutting downtime and optimizing inventory, they show how data is becoming the go-to tool for getting things done. Justin shares a personal "aha!" moment from his days in manufacturing, where stepping out of the office and onto the floor opened his eyes to data gaps you just can't catch from behind a desk. Rob also reflects on his time in construction and how those real-world experiences shaped his view of business today. Rob and Justin keep it real, cutting through the noise to show how understanding the world behind the numbers is the key to solving real problems. Enjoyed the conversation?

Zered Bassett's tenure as a central figure of East Coast skateboarding spans generations. In many ways, he represents the bridge between the old New York and the new. The fact that he has endured longer than many of the brands that he's been associated with is a testament to his dedication to his craft, and shows a resiliency that mirrors the streets where he honed it. Originally from Cape Cod, Zered was a child prodigy who was discovered at an Invisible demo in Massachusetts as a tween. This landed him on Sixteen, and later flow for World Industries. It was during this era that Brian Brown's brother sent Zered's tape to Zoo York, where it landed in the hands of Jeff Pang. He was offered a spot on the team, which was accepted after getting some solid advice from Jahmal Williams. From there, Dr. Z made the move to the Big Apple, where he was molded into the legend that he would ultimately become under the tutelage of Harold Hunter, Danny Supa, Vinny Ponte, and the rest of the O.G. Zoo heads. His progression is well-documented in RB Umali's E.S.T. video series, and culminated in Vicious Cycle, which is still considered by many to be his magnum opus. Zered would ultimately spend a decade as a card-carrying member of the Zoo York Institute. During this time, he turned pro, received a signature shoe from DVS, and a sponsorship from Red Bull. In addition to becoming the face of New York's next generation, he was easily in the top-tier tax bracket for professional skaters. This afforded him luxuries, including an apartment in the city and a Cadillac Escalade. But all that glitters is not gold. And the rapper's lifestyle is rarely built to last. By the end of the aughts, Zoo discontinued Zered's contract; DVS released him from its roster; and Red Bull followed suit a few years later. He was on the verge of packing up, and moving back to Cape Cod. But the New York hustle sustained him via collaborative projects with UXA and Uniqlo before landing spots on the rosters at Expedition and Converse. Currently, Zered is comfortably chilling as a pro for Alltimers, has a couple of signature Converse shoes under his belt, and is pursing his art and photography in Brooklyn. Lee covers all of the bases of Dr. Z's legendary story during Episode 21 of Mission Statement.

Let's take a closer look at Girl: a staple favourite for many, with a cult-like following unlike almost any other skateboard brand! Girl was built around the idea of skateboarding for fun, and not taking life too seriously. Rick Howard and Mike Carroll had grown tired of the seriousness, and seriously short shelf life, of pro skateboarders, and wanted to imagine something new; this was at the time of Plan B's Virtual Reality film, when Carroll was just 17. So, Rick and Mike, alongside Spike Jonze and Megan Baltimore, split off to create Girl. This infuriated Steve Rocco of World Industries, who in retaliation, created a brand called Bitch skateboards to mock them out. With a stacked original team of Jeron Wilson, Sean Sheffey, Mike Carroll, Eric Koston, Rick Howard, Rick Mccrank, Brandon Biebel, Jeremy Rogers, Girl quickly became an iconic brand and team. Together, under Girl Films International, they filmed classics like Goldfish, Mouse, Yeah Right, Yes We Canada, Hard Euro Barge, Doll and many, many more; today, they post segments at Girl Headquarters, such as Crail Couch, where they catch up with pros through short interviews. Some members, such as Eric Koston, and Guy Mariano, have since left the time to start new brands, like Numbers. Nowadays, they've since added to the team, with firepower like Sean Malto, Andrew Brophy, and Mike Mo Capaldi; and even more recently adding Sean Bannerot, Niels Bennett, Griffin Gass, Manchild, and ironically, their actual first girl team rider, Breana Geering. Spike Jonze has been a significant part of what has made Girl special, with his background in Hollywood. This has led to appearances of celebrities such as Owen Wilson, Will Arnett, and Jack Black making appearances. http://shop.shredzshop.com for more info.

In this episode, “the godfather of street skating” Rodney Mullen reveals his insights on the history and future of skateboarding. He invented most of the foundational tricks used today—including the flat-ground Ollie which allows skaters to pop their boards off the ground—and he co-founded the largest skateboard company in the world in the 1990's. Despite his worldwide fame, Rodney is a bit of an enigma to his millions of fans, but in this interview we delve into some parts of his past he hasn't shared before. We trace the pioneering path of World Industries through times of greatness and trouble and to greatness again, and we discover some leadership and innovation lessons along the way. He tells stories of forklift races, mutiny, and late nights of drinking with the Chinese as they grew the company. We peek behind the scenes to hear how they designed and manufactured their boards, and their pioneering approach to cultivating talent. Rodney shares the challenges of catering to a culture driven by rebellion, and the dilemma of brands that want to scale when “selling out” is the worst thing you could do. We hear about Rodney's comeback, and how technology and innovation are impacting the future of skateboarding as he looks to his next venture.

In this episode of The Shetler Show, Anthony Shetler and former co-host of The Shetler Show, Steven Ramsey, are playing catch up for the podcast. Ramsey has been there from the beginning, so having him back on was epic! They begin by getting into how Ramsey found his way into skateboarding through his dad’s metal skateboard, as well as getting in with the All I Need crew. They discuss the odd-end jobs Ramsey worked while living in New York, including the one time he was involved in a high-speed car chase. Anthony Shetler finds out more about the good times and struggles Ramsey survived in the city as a poor man being poor. They get into his “Do or Pie” segment for World Industries, and his filming for Anthony Shetler’s shoes. Ramsey talks about how to get out of a funk and realizing that life isn’t just peaches and cream. Both feel that a part of growing up is knowing that life is about getting what you give and knowing how to survive through tough times. Ramsey speaks about being a father, and “feeling the feels.” Ramsey goes into how being a dad hasn’t changed much of his life, except for the better. Anthony Shetler delves into Ramsey’s work with the Bob Show on Snapchat.

In this episode of The Shetler Show, Anthony Shetler starts with a special message for the podcast listeners. The show starts out by Anthony thanking all the supporters of him, his brand, the show, and skateboarding in general. They begin by getting adjusted to some Skype complications, and then the show really gets crackin. We learn about Andrew Cannon’s morning rituals, including giving his doggy a shot in the morning, yoga, biking, reading, and spandex outfits. Andrew is a dad living in Santa Cruz CA. Andrew Cannon is 29 years old, and he has new twin babies. Andrew feels lucky to be where he is at now, as the Brand Manager for NHS companies, OJ Wheels and Santa Cruz Skateboards. Andrew Cannon feels that he is so lucky to have had the career in skateboarding that he has had. He talks about why touring is so tough, and what it takes to switch roles and sit behind the desk now. Andrew breaks down exactly why he loves his job, and what it is like to be a Brand Manager. Anthony Shetler and Andrew Cannon delve into networking in skateboarding, work experience, schooling, marketing yourself as a skateboarder, and why he skates for himself now. They discuss brands in the skate industry, including World Industries fall from grace, and exactly why skateboarders need to do more then just have talent. Anthony Shetler feels that if you can become a pro skater, getting a regular job can be a bit easier. They get into why the #AINCaliTrippin tour was so productive and fun, and Anthony talks about how he would like to run his own skate company.
