Jeff Ament is the bassist and a founding member of Pearl Jam, and he's personally funded more than 27 skateparks across Montana.

A dedicated skateboarder since his teens, Jeff sees the parks as more than a passion project: he visits them regularly to sweep the concrete, skate alongside local kids, and see the positive impact firsthand.

In this episode, we talk about his new band, Deaf Charlie, how touring with a side project compares to life on the road with Pearl Jam, and what inspired him to embark on a 1,200-mile skateboarding journey with kids he met through his parks.
