In this powerful episode of the Falling Off the Floor podcast, host Austin Becker interviews returning guest Connor Nelson, a filmmaker, mental health activist, and skier extraordinaire. They dive deep into men's mental health, a topic often left unspoken, and the importance of open conversations.Connor shares the incredible story of how a devastating wildfire (Palisades Fire) in LA became a life-changing opportunity. He was at the forefront, one of the very few people directly in the fires, capturing the chaos with high-end cinema cameras for outlets like the New York Times and even producing a feature-length documentary for PBS. This experience, while providing a living, also forced him to confront the complex emotional toll of making a career from others' worst days.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in:The raw reality of wildfire filmmaking and the education it provides.The surprising role of adrenaline sports like cliff jumping in addiction recovery.The critical link between diet, lifestyle changes, and mental health.Why it's so important for men to check in on their friends and talk openly about their struggles.The challenges and unexpected blessings of finding your purpose in life after overcoming addiction and mental health issues.Connor and Austin also share some harrowing, but ultimately redemptive, stories of their own, from broken bones to near-death experiences, highlighting the dangers of their past choices and the gratitude they now have for their lives.Join us as we explore the intersection of extreme sports, filmmaking, and mental health, all while emphasizing the power of open, honest conversations.Follow Connor Nelson:Instagram: @connornelson.dopFalling Off the Floor PodcastInstagram: @fallingoffthefloorWebsite: www.fallingoffthefloor.com#MentalHealth #MensMentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #Wildfire #Filmmaking #CliffJumping #Skier #Podcast #FallingOffTheFloor #Sobriety #Purpose #LAWildfires #Adrenaline #Inspiration #Recovery #PBS #wildfires #palisadesfire
