I’ve done nearly 150 episodes of SK8LIKEYOU, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt the responsibility of being an interviewer quite like I did during this conversation. My guest for Episode 143 is Madyson Kapture, and this is one of those interviews that reminds me just how far this podcast has come.

We talk about how Madyson got her start in roller skating, what it was like growing up as a skater in Maine, and how different skating culture can be depending on where you’re from.

We also get into her creative side, which goes well beyond skating. From circus arts and clown performance to professional dancing, football halftime shows, and performing alongside some major names in entertainment, Madyson has taken a pretty unconventional path.

But there’s another part of her story that takes this conversation somewhere I haven’t really gone before.

Madyson opens up about her experience in the adult entertainment industry, specifically her time as an OnlyFans model, why she ultimately decided to walk away, and a documentary she’s been working on about that experience. Madyson trusted me with a sensitive part of her story, and I didn’t take that lightly.

I wanted to make sure this wasn’t a conversation that sensationalized her past or reduced her to one chapter of her life. I wanted to understand her experience, give her the space to talk openly about it, and ask the questions that I felt deserved to be asked.

And I’ll tell you, this interview challenged me in ways I hadn’t experienced before. It required a different level of listening, understanding, and responsibility. I’m really proud of this one. Proud of the conversation, grateful for Madyson’s openness, and proud of how much I’ve grown as an interviewer.

More than anything, it’s a reminder that there’s so much more to people than what we might think we know about them. I’ve said it from the beginning. It’s not a skating podcast. It’s a life podcast that happens to feature skaters. And Episode 143 is a pretty good example of exactly what I mean.
