Episode 49 is with Nolan Zangas.

Started off by speaking on Nolan's roots in skating, filming, and creating a full length skate video. Due to horrific circumstance, he sustained a life changing injury where he broke his back and had to step away from skating for an extended period of time. It was during this time where Nolan found what would eventually become his career...photography.

Progressing in skating years later, he decided to focus on the skating side of things, got sponsorship, but eventually decided that he wanted to step away from personal skating and focus on his true passion of photography.
