WAY UP WEST OUTDOORS - Steven Laughter (ElkShape Podcast)

1 hour 5 minutes

In this episode, Dan sits down with Steven Laughter, a former 9-to-5 corporate employee who took a massive leap to become a full-time freelance photographer and videographer. Steven shares how he turned his passion for the outdoors into a career, his experience running his first 100-mile ultra-marathon, and the mindset that helped him crush gym PRs like a 450 lb deadlift and 300 lb bench. We also dive into his time in Northern British Columbia, where he spent the fall capturing epic content and living out his dream behind the camera.
