Hey, I’m Brett Williams, a skate entrepreneur with 23 years of experience. Trust me, you’re not alone and I’ve been there. I once was operating everything within my skate shop. It wasn’t just that I felt I had to do it; financially, I had no choice. This relentless journey led to burnout and left me questioning both my own abilities and the company’s future. Fast forward to now (8 years later), my current company, Skate The Foundry, is an award-winning indoor skatepark and school, with thousands of clients and numerous local government and school contracts across the tri-state region. With my significantly reduced workload through my proven systems of focusing on skate programs as an additional revenue stream, I now work just 4 days a week, 3 hours a day. My 8-year journey is your roadmap to achieve success faster. As fellow skate businesses struggle post-pandemic, I aim to share my strategies, connect you with other skate business owners, and help grow your business!
