Text Shellda a quick review and he might post it on his IG story!

Nick Slowiak has won at the highest level of professional paintball.

But this conversation isn’t just about trophies....It’s about loss. Tragedy. Identity. Controversy. Community. And what happens when the people around you show up in your darkest season.

In this episode, Nick opens up about:
Why Dye signed Protocol (and the controversy around it)
What it’s really like working behind the scenes at Dye
Stepping away from playing professional paintball
The struggle of identity after the pro field
And the moment the paintball community rallied around him when he needed it most
