TPM Episode 184: Lance Hakker, K2, Ashbury, Videograss, The Berrics, Element

Lance Hakker is a self-described “darkman” which makes him the  perfect guest for a business episode.  Lance makes things happen behind the scenes in the world of boardsports and you know what he has done, but you never hear his name.  His resume speaks for itself though…from K2 to founding Ashbury and Videograss and then on to The Berrics and now Element, Lance has had some amazing gigs and shares the behind the scenes of it all.  It’s another great listen and my second business podcast in a row with an identical twin!
