Thrasher just ran an article that asks various industry heavyweights what they look for in a potential am. Jason Dill delivers a particularly insightful answer that explains how to get on F.A. From naming Na-Kel as the team leader, to dubbing Earl Sweatshirt the brand’s Donald Rumsfeld, Dill breaks down the inner workings of Fucking Awesome with a quote that’s equal parts concise and informative.

I’m the owner and creator of the company. As far as who is on, Nak is the leader of the team. Anyone who gets on is voted on. Each pro votes yes or no. The whole thing is a democracy and pretty much outta my hands. Jared is the team manager. Thanks, Jared. All that said, it’s up to the team to say what’s up and who’s on. I’d like to thank Earl Sweatshirt for being the official spokesperson of our operation. He’s like the Donald Rumsfeld of FA. My advice? Be you and do different shit than other people. You get noticed, good or bad. Take it from there and improve. That’s being a future pro.
