George Wang Jr

Laughing All the Way to the Skatepark

Episode 187

George Wang Jr. is a unique blend of talents—both a full-time skateboard coach and a professional stand-up comedian, based in Monterey Park, California. Reflecting on his journey, George often laughs at the irony of life. In high school, he was constantly in trouble for making his classmates laugh and for getting his skateboard taken away. At the time, these were seen as distractions, but little did he know that these very activities would become the foundation of his future career.

Throughout his life, George worked numerous jobs, trying to carve out a path. But it was the passion projects—skateboarding and comedy—that proved to be his true calling. Looking back, he realizes that the things he did for free, with no expectation of rewards, were the real investments in his future. Today, George is not only able to combine his love for skating and making people laugh but also helps others through his work as a skateboarding coach, guiding the next generation of skaters. His ability to entertain and inspire has made him a standout figure in both the skateboarding and comedy communities.

Through his unique perspective, George embodies the idea that the things we are passionate about, no matter how unconventional they may seem at first, can shape and define our futures. His story is a testament to the unpredictable, often humorous way life unfolds.
