We had the good fortune of connecting with Jack Babel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jack, how do you think about risk?
Risk can be scary especially when it comes to impacting your career path and or life in a big way. It’s important to keep pushing yourself & see what you’re able to accomplish the further you go. At worst it can be a learning experience and try again when necessary but it has really helped me learn to get out of my comfort zone and push as hard as I can.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I knew from the beginning stages it would be a difficult career path to pursue. Going back to risk I knew it would be a big one, but just in the past 2 and a half years we have came further than I could’ve imagined. What our goal is with badworldanarchy is to spread love, and help everyone pursue and do what they want to and f#*k anyone who tries to discourage you from doing so. Kinda where the anarchy comes into play a bit. This purely started as a hobby and still is but we’ve been given a opportunity to push it further and can’t wait to see where things go:)

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
REDROSE HYPE (NASHVILLE) COMPOUND SKATE SHOP (NASHVILLE)
RED DOOR MIDTOWN
THE END (NASHVILLE)
PRIDE AND GLORY TATTOO
FORTS615
DRKMTTR
the list goes on but those are a few off the top of my head

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Luckily I’ve had a pretty big support system from the start. My family and friends have backed me up since day 1. The Nashville skate and hardcore scene has shown a lot of love so I have to give lots of love to everyone in those parties involved. I’d also want to shine light on RedRose Hype Shop (Nashville) , Compound Skate Shop (Nashville) , and Skyview Skate Shop (Louisville) for taking a chance on us and giving us an opportunity to have our stuff in their storefronts. The list goes on and on but the support keeps growing and I’m forever grateful for everyone who’s helped out along the way:)
