Edie Robertson - Skateboarding Hall of Fame

Long before becoming an acclaimed chef and restaurateur, Edie Robertson was making history on four wheels.   Classic Episode 232 | Originally Aired August 19, 2019   In this classic episode, the 2019 Skateboarding Hall of Fame inductee looks back on her remarkable journey—from becoming one of the pioneering female professional skateboarders on the legendary Sims team to appearing on The Merv Griffin Show as a teenager and helping shape the golden era of skateboarding.   But Edie's story doesn't stop there. She went on to front an all-female rock band that became the first American rock group invited to perform and record in mainland China before discovering another passion in the kitchen.    As co-owner and executive chef of Santa Barbara's beloved Sojourner Café and later as a celebrated private chef, she built a second career fueled by the same creativity and fearless spirit that defined her skateboarding days.   Throughout our conversation, Edie reflects on chasing opportunity, embracing reinvention, leading with kindness, and why saying "yes" to life's unexpected adventures opened doors she never imagined. It's an inspiring conversation about curiosity, resilience, and living life without limits.   IN THIS EPISODE   Becoming one of skateboarding's pioneering female professionals Induction into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame Working with legendary skateboard innovator Tom Sims Performing in the first American rock band to tour mainland China Building Santa Barbara's iconic Sojourner Café Life as a private chef and culinary educator Leadership, creativity, and finding joy in every chapter of life   Episode Chapters   00:00 From Teenage Skateboarder to Hall of Fame Legend 03:10 Discovering Edie Robertson & The Merv Griffin Show 08:18 How Tom Sims Changed Skateboarding Forever 16:10 Living Life Without Self-Imposed Limits 24:32 The Golden Age of Skateboarding 32:00 Remembering Tom Sims & Chasing Big Dreams 36:49 From Pro Skateboarder to Rock Star 44:54 Why Cooking Became Her Greatest Passion 49:21 Inside Professional Kitchens & Becoming a Chef 59:02 The Secret to a Creative, Adventurous Life     CHEF EDIE ROBERTSON WEBSITE   EDIE ROBERTSON INSTAGRAM    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
