Alex opens up about routine, mindset, confidence, visualization, and what it means to truly believe you’re the best, without crossing the line into ego.We also dive into legacy...what Alex wants to leave behind when his playing days are over, how he approaches professionalism in paintball, and the advice he’d give to the next generation chasing the pro dream.Support the show

You’ve probably seen him walking vendor row, fixing problems before anyone notices, or managing chaos on the pro field… but today you get to hear the story you never knew.We dive into what it’s like to work 30+ events per season, build and tear down entire venues in a matter of days, switch between five different “jobs” every hour, and manage the pressure that comes with being the person everyone depends on.Rod gets vulnerable about burnout, anxiety, depression, and even past addiction, and how paintball became the place that saved him. He shares how he protects his energy, how he shows up for players and vendors even on empty, why he sees himself as “big energy,” and how he made the pro field in his own way.This conversation is raw, honest, funny, and incredibly important for anyone who loves this sport, whether you’re a player, vendor, ref, media, or just part of the community.Support the show

Text Shellda a quick review and he might post it on his IG story!In this solo episode, I open up about something I rarely talk about, how hard this season really was for me. Between launching my book, losing my grandpa, shooting nonstop events, and producing weekly episodes, I hit a level of burnout I didn’t even recognize until it was almost too late.Going into World Cup, I wasn’t excited. I wasn’t prepared. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to pick up the camera.But everything changed the moment I stepped onto the field.Support the show
