When Daniel Barousse agreed to come on the show, we were equally excited and curious to discuss all of the pursuits that he’s involved in. But as we spoke with Daniel, it became clear that these weren’t several hobbies he decided to pick up, but an interwoven series of passions inspired and fueled by each other. In our interview, we discuss how Daniel developed a lifelong affection for skateboarding, why he chose to travel the country living out of a van, and what it’s like to create furniture and art out of recycled skateboards.
