Growth, in terms of business, is necessary in order to survive. Some times, and in many markets, that growth can come at too high a cost to the environment. Geoff Koboldt of BambooSk8 is a highly conscious individual who’s actively growing business attacks these concerns. You might even call him an activist, and not just an entrepreneur. This is why we are pleased to feature him and his company in this weeks : “10 Q’s With…”; our question and answer series that’s aimed at offering insight to our readers who are interested in the ‘Adventure’ of becoming: The Boss.

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

We read this interesting article today in Transworld business which raises a lot of questions about where skateboarding is going in the future as well as to where it is at right now.  We invite each of you to please contribute a comment so that your voice is heard; this is your industry – speak freely!  We have already left our comment…

BambooSK8 visits local Venice school

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I recently visited a local Venice school to speak to the students about life, business and bamboo…  The presentation was well received by the skaters and I will likely be returning to do some hands-on learning lessons about business. 

The goal will be to teach the students the entire process of starting a skateboard company from ordering product, handling logistics, quality control, how to market it, how to understand sales, understanding profit margins and income statements, balance sheets, etc. 

Who knows – one of these sharp studens might be leading the next hot skate brand…you just never know.

If you are interested in having BambooSK8 come speak at your school – by all means – let us know, we would be happy to contribute.

thanks,

Geoff Koboldt
