His story is absolutely INSANE 🤯

So I was a really well known skater. And skateboarders, when they finish, they typically move back into the industry, they start working for a company or they become a team manager or something. In this time of figuring out what to do, I had other skaters calling me going, where'd you go? I don't see you. What are you doing? Are you okay? And every single one of them asked me the same question, how are you making money? And so I basically would tell all of them, well, I've been planning for this for 15 years. And one of my friends named Shawn Malta, very known pro skateboarder, says, dude, how do I do that? I need that also. And when he said that, something, something clicked. And I went, oh, my gosh. I had somebody come into my life when I was 19 years old, helped me build the path to the position I'm in today. And so I created this concept for Commune Capital and I built out the whole business plan. It was built around the idea of what I felt in skateboarding, which was always us against the world type of community. It felt like it was family, no one could mess with us. It was awesome in that regard. So I wanted to create this company that had the community feel, hence the name Commune. And I wanted the mission to be kind of two parts. One, we were all going to put our money together to strengthen, number and buy assets that we can't buy alone. And two, I wanted it to be an education vehicle to do what my mentor did for me.
