On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What does it look like to build something global without a roadmap just instinct, resilience, and a deep belief in what’s possible? In this episode of Into the Unknown, Jeremy Swick sits down with Ellaine Gelman, a former rugby player turned international founder, to unpack a life shaped by bold decisions and unlikely pivots. From leaving the U.S. for Oxford Law to discovering a new future through rugby sevens, Ellaine shares how a single year abroad quietly rewrote the direction of her life.
The conversation moves from frozen early‑morning training sessions in England to launching elite rugby camps at Olympic venues, connecting players across continents, and building LIT7s into a movement rooted in experience not hype. Ellaine opens up about betting on herself before the outcome was clear, designing opportunities that didn’t exist when she was younger, and why access, inspiration, and community matter just as much as winning. This episode is about more than sport it’s about what can happen when passion meets persistence and someone decides to build the thing they once wished for.

On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What happens when passion refuses to clock out? In this episode of Into the Unknown, Jeremy Swick sits down with freelance sportswriter and podcaster Liam Hanley to explore what it really means to build a creative career without a safety net and without losing your voice along the way. From long nights editing podcasts to walking away from writing jobs that paid but drained him, Liam shares the grit behind choosing fulfillment over formulas.
This conversation weaves together sports, storytelling, and identity from rugby pitches that forged lifelong brotherhood to press credentials earned through consistency, not shortcuts. Liam opens up about navigating the modern sports media landscape, the tension between SEO-driven content and meaningful writing, and why believing words still matter might be the boldest stance a freelancer can take today. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the unseen work behind creative careers and a renewed respect for those who keep showing up anyway.

On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What happens when your life begins in the middle of a civil war and you're told you'll never be “normal”?
