This is a solo episode about why I left JT—and more importantly, what that experience taught me.

This isn’t drama and it isn’t a rant. It’s an honest reflection on saying yes too fast, skipping important questions, and learning the difference between a good opportunity and the right one.

Last season, I was invited to be part of the JT Elite line. On the surface, it felt like a dream opportunity. But over time, I realized how critical alignment, clarity, and structure are when you’re building a personal brand in paintball.

In this episode, I talk about:
• why excitement can replace due diligence
• how not having a contract created unclear expectations
• the difference between prestige and alignment
• why structure is necessary to do your best work
• and when growth means walking away respectfully

If you’re a paintball player, creator, or entrepreneur navigating sponsorships and partnerships, this episode is for you.
Sometimes the biggest lessons come from opportunities that almost worked.

This episode stopped me in my tracks.

Every time Ben Plouffe of FlyCan Media steps onto a paintball field, there’s a real risk it could cost him his life. And that’s not clickbait...it’s his reality.
Ben, known in the paintball world as FlyCanMedia, is one of the top videographers in the sport. He’s been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, has undergone bypass surgery, and now lives with an implanted pacemaker and defibrillator. To protect it, he wears a bulletproof-style vest while filming on the field. Don't miss this one.

In this episode of the Shellda Podcast, I sit down with Alex “Mouse” Goldman, fresh off a World Cup championship, for one of the most honest and in-depth conversations he’s ever had publicly.
We talk about what winning the World Cup actually felt like in the moment, the discipline it takes to stay at the top, and the mental battles that come with losing, doubt, and expectations. 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.
