TPM Episode 166: Keir Dillon, Pro Snowboarder, Entrepreneur

Keir Dillon was a fixture on the snowboard scene for over a decade. You saw him in halfpipes, on podiums, on the mic and traveling the world with his "Frends" crew. There is so much to Keir's story and on the podcast we talk about a lot of snowboard success, the letdown of not making the Olympics, starting a snowboard technology business with friends, taking that company and making it a brand that focuses on women, how the friends reacted to that, why he had to sell the business, drugs, and a lot more. It's a good one
