Learning to Love the Hard Parts

Learning to Love the Hard Parts

In today’s episode, I talk with James Maslow and Greg Lutzka about resilience, mentorship, and learning to love the hard parts of what you love most.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Maslow and professional skateboarder turned entrepreneur Greg Lutzka. Greg shares how chasing his dream meant leaving home, facing burnout, and rebuilding his love for the sport that defined his life. From the highs of becoming a two-time X Games champion to the lows of homesickness and self-doubt, he explains how consistency, mentorship, and staying open to new opportunities shaped both his career and his mindset. We also talk about turning passion into business, the importance of financial literacy, and what it really means to learn to love what you don’t like.
