In this powerful episode of The Shellda Podcast, Dan sits down with Nick Champion, the creative force behind Stealth Media, whose early paintball videos helped define an entire era of the sport. Nick reflects on the heyday of paintball media during the mid-2000s, what it was like filming legends like Oliver Lang and Tyler Harmon, and how a passion for storytelling at just 14 years old put him on the pro field among icons.

But this conversation goes far beyond paintball. Nick opens up about surviving two mass shootings: the Las Vegas Route 91 Festival and Thousand Oaks’ Borderline Bar & Grill — and how those tragedies led him to a new purpose in life as a firefighter. This is a story of resilience, community, and rediscovering purpose through grief, creativity, and service.
