Platform Episode 64 - Billy O'Neill PART 2

Billy O'Neill is the first guest I have had on Platform podcast
and for very good reason. He's been a busy man over the past 12
months! Billy has been killing it on his skates, as we have seen
from his section in Duos and various Sunday Brunch projects. He
also started Mesmer Skates with Matthias Knoll and released the
phenomenal Mesmer Rising and RV There Yet? Despite only being in
business for a year, they have released two editions of the John
Bolino pro skate and just awarded a pro skate to Scotland's
Dominic Bruce. With a new project filmed exclusively in New York
City due to be released very soon, there was lots to chat about
with Billy.  


He discusses married life, how things have been doing with Mesmer
so far, including the highlights and pressures he faces as a
company owner, shared his thoughts on competitions and his
experience of running the Boschi Pope Skate Off this year, and
revealed that Josh Petty recently got in touch with him to
address some of the comments he made in his infamous appearance
on Jump Street Podcast. Needless to say, A LOT of topics were
covered, a lot of opinions were shared and a lot of laughs were
had.
