Rodney Mullen

Rodney Mullen Instagram – The last year has been a dream, working with students at MIT Media Lab. Part of what makes that place so special is their ethos of nurturing new perspectives, a culture of unorthodoxy—a bit rogue, in the best of ways. The closer I get with them, the more they remind me of the skaters I admire most, especially in terms of the Heart it takes to push yourself at those levels while striving after your own ideas, often into the unknown with real risk. Coping with failures takes such a common toll that a group of MIT students & researchers created FAIL! – Inspiring Resilience, where respected peers share their failures. I spoke there last Oct and now, Thursday (7/2) I’ll be back with an MIT Physicist, Allan Adams, at 5pm EDT for an online chat, in case you’d like to join. Just to hear Allan speak is amazing—brilliant, with a heart of gold. Link in bio. | Posted on 02/Jul/2020 04:58:03
