TPM Episode 336: Azikiwee Anderson, Pro Skater, Baker for Social Change

Azikiwee Anderson is so much more than the founder of Rize Up Bakery, San Francisco's only Black-owned artisanal sourdough bakery. Sure, that's what he does now, and it was born out of the social unrest that was going on in 2020, and it's growing fast. But before Zeke was the face of the bakery, he was a pro inline skater, a company owner, an event organizer, and a judge at events like the X-Games and Gravity Games. He was the mature voice of reason in a sport that was way too young for its own good. On the podcast, we talk about growing up homeless and on welfare, his many unexpected after-school activities, finding skating, going pro, and so much more.

23:00: Eagle Scout, early vegetarian and straight edge (until 35), HS Cheerleader, finding inline skates, and from rec to rails

30:00: The sponsorship process, sponsors, being the older skater, all the travel, being in Batman/Hollywood, and money

41:00: High Cascade Snowboard Camp: The legendary snowboard camp

Stanley: Get 30% off site wide with the code pmovement
