He didn’t plan on being successful. He just followed what pulled at him and kept letting go when it stopped working. In this episode, Stacy Peralta, legendary skateboarder, filmmaker behind Dogtown and Z-Boys, and modern elder, shares how a life built on passion, curiosity, and vulnerability led him from skateboarding to filmmaking to painting, without clinging to any single identity.
Rather than chasing security or certainty, Stacy reveals why reinvention requires becoming a beginner again and why midlife may be the most powerful time to do it.
In this conversation, Stacy explores:
- Why holding onto past identities quietly blocks your future
- How embracing vulnerability and being a “kook” unlocks growth
- The difference between loving something and knowing when to let it go
- How intuition, not logic, often guides the most meaningful transitions
- Daily practices that keep creativity, curiosity, and vitality alive
👉 Watch the full episode now and discover why letting go might be the most powerful move you can make.
