Social Media for Better or for Worse // Nick Walker // Ep. 95
Nick Walker is a content creator, endurance athlete, and co-founder of 1441 Collective, and he's got a lot going on.
In this episode, Ryan sits down with Nick to talk about his journey from baseball hopeful to full-time creator, why he's training for the Leadville 100, and what it actually looks like to build a business while running 60+ miles a week.
They get into the real side of content creation, the ego traps, the algorithm obsession, and how Nick stays grounded by treating the experience as the product, not the content. Nick shares why he doesn't love the word "follower," how he built genuine relationships with 600,000 people, and why he thinks social media is gut feeling, a net negative for most people.
The conversation gets personal too. Nick opens up about 400+ days of sobriety, what prompted it, and why his mom is on the same journey. They talk about alcohol, microdosing, presence, gratitude, and the Buddhist idea of just being here now.
Everything in life is a win as long as your intention is experience.

The Man Who Films the Impossible // Mark Fisher // Ep. 94
From Fulbright Scholar to Everest Filmmaker: Mark Fisher's Life Behind the Lens
Mark Fisher has spent over two decades chasing the world's most extreme moments, from the jagged ridgelines of the Himalayas to the powder-soaked slopes of Alaska, and somehow managing to capture all of it on camera.
In this episode, Mark traces the winding path that built Fisher Creative: growing up internationally, discovering climbing and photography in high school, and formative years living in Korea and Germany. A Fulbright scholarship brought him back, where mentorship under commercial photographer Ramish Amru sharpened his eye and his ambition.
He spent years guiding and instructing for NOLS while selling his early work to Patagonia, hustling weddings and outdoor brand shoots on the side, before a 2008 Teton Gravity Research expedition to Alaska cracked open the door to professional ski photography. When the Canon 5D Mark II put cinema-quality video in his hands, he ran with it, making Ski Tibet and co-founding Fisher Creative with Eric Daft.
Then came Jimmy Chin, Everest, and a project that would define a career: documenting a 10,000-foot ski descent of the north face and along the way unearthing Andrew Irvine's long-lost boot from the mountain's frozen history. Mark also teases what's next: a Netflix film following Everest FKT runners, and new expedition projects already in motion.

Just What the Dóttir Ordered // Kelly Meredith // Ep. 93
From football fields to forklift fleets to functional beverages, Kelly Meredith's path is anything but straight. In this episode, Ryan sits down with Kelly to unpack how a trip to Iceland led to the creation of Dóttir, a marine collagen drink built on cod-based collagen, a powerful vitamin stack, and two of CrossFit's greatest champions, Katrin Davidsdottir and Annie Thorisdottir.
Kelly gets real about the product challenges that almost derailed everything, how heat pasteurization wrecked their formula and forced a full rebuild, and why they landed on 105mg of green tea caffeine instead of the usual suspects. Plus a new caffeine-free version, Hyrox training, Phoenix races, and a Resilience Fund built to support women in sport.
This one's about more than a drink. It's about building something that actually stands for something.
