They discuss Tanner’s path through mechanical engineering, mental-health struggles, and a transformative solo trip to Bali that reshaped his relationship with surfing. Tanner explains how he transitioned into content creation, building a following as Beach Cowboy, starting the brand Residual Stoke, and hosting community events aimed at helping others pursue meaningful experiences. Guests and people mentioned include Steve Rice, Brendan Rour (Santa Cruz Medicinals), Shane Dorian, Greg Long, Kevin Schultz, Nathan Florence, Caroline Marks, Lux Turner, and others.
