ENT 640, Jenny Griffin SME Interview with Steve Larios, owner of Asphalt Beach Skate Shop, Nashville, TN
Passionate about what he does, Steve Larios, gives great insight on opening and running a business. Note: This interview cut off near the end of our conversation, right as Steve was explaining an exciting opportunity coming up for him and his shop. I offered to send an additional Zoom link to continue the conversation or if he’d rather, send it to me via text form and I would add it here. This is what Steve messaged me to conclude our interview: “Rollerblade is bringing their top management from Italy to see my store as an example for how to sell skates properly!” Now, if that doesn’t make you want to listen to this interview and physically go to visit his store, I’m not sure what will! How honorable! Enjoy our interview!
