One of skateboarding's finest, Brian Anderson recently sat down with Living Proof Radio for an honest conversation about sobriety, lifestyle changes, and everything that comes with carving a new path.

Over the last few years, BA’s become a real inspiration for folks who are on a similar path, and has always been one to speak openly about his journey—this episode is no different. There are a handful of skateboarders out there who I'll never get tired of seeing or hearing from, and BA has always been one of them. Settle in and press play:

We hear Brian talk about what led him toward sobriety in the first place—and all the trial and error that came with it—and how shifting his daily habits helped impact his life, both in and out of skateboarding.

This ain't some glossy, sugarcoated version either—he digs into the struggles, the growth, and the ongoing process of finding that balance. Super inspiring stuff, to be honest.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of BA or just need a little feel-good story to get you through the day, it's a great conversation. And of course, there's plenty of skate talk peppered in all the same.

I like that Living Proof Radio has become a space for these kinds of conversations. We've heard AVE talk about his struggles. Ellington had a great episode discussing similar topics. And having BA in the hot seat is a great addition. Definitely worth a listen.
