Kyle Parsons is a surfer, snowboarder, entrepreneur, and founder of the environmentally conscious footwear company Indosole (Disclaimer: there is some seriously unapologetic product placement in this episode).  After years of working in the Snowboarding and Action Sports industries, Kyle found a niche in the environmental footwear space and conceptualised what is now a world-wide distribution of the Indosole brand. More importantly, Indosole is a brand that represents a subtle form of environmental activism, advocating for conscious consumerism, and conservation that sheds light on the  vast opportunities that exist in a secondary resource market. In this week's episode, Kyle is with me live from his home in San Francisco  to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
