Damien Fahrenfort is a South-African professional surfer, famous and one may even say notorious for his blog Dooma\\u2019s Rumors that is no longer active but that for years was a source of controversy in the world of professional surfing. Damien now lives in Los Angeles and in the last 10 years has gone from content creation at Quicksilver to launching the US version of the surf magazine STAB to running an apparel boutique in Venice Beach. He is now an athlete manager to two World Championship Tour surfers, Jordy Smith and Michael February, and a co-founder of Free Radicals, advertising, and marketing agency.

We talk a lot about his journey from being a professional athlete to becoming a businessman, and of course the transition from South Africa to the US. We also talk about the South African history of racial segregation and reconciliation.
