004: Chris Ellison - Telling the Tough Stories

Tales of Toughness

Toughness comes in so many forms. In this episode, Chris Ellison gives us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge – not as a racer, but as one of the 13 embedded camera operators of the show.

Chris managed to complete much of the course with us. He was committed to telling our team’s story. And it was his commitment to the purpose that ultimately got him through the hardships of the course.

Today, Chris reminds us that you don't have to have it all figured out to get started. Taking action always means it's either going to be a ton of fun, or it's going to make for fun disaster stories. Either way, you're going to grow from it.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Challenges Chris faced both physically and on the technical side of things
• Concerns of getting dropped and keeping up with the racers
• The mentality of figuring things out
• Certain sections of the race that stood out for Chris
• The biggest challenge for Chris
• How Chris got started in his filmmaking career
• Finding a sense of home from people
