Earlier this week I had the opportunity to hear the leaders behind four of the most exciting brands in action sports talk about their journeys as entrepreneurs.  They were brutally honest about their struggles and gave some great advice.  I’ve compiled my notes into the following presentation.

Thanks much to the entrepreneurs:

Brian Enge, CEO of Zoot Sports
Andy Laats, Co-Founder and President of Nixon
Todd Richards, Olympic Snowboarder, Co-Founder Omatic Snowboards
Beaver Theodosakis, Founder & CEO of prAna

and SI and the USD Entrepreneurship Club for sponsoring the event!
