Episode notes

Do you ever feel like something’s missing, despite having a portfolio full of great work?

You’re not alone.

Chris Goor has filmed some of the world’s biggest moments from the headline stage at Glastonbury to Usain Bolt breaking world records.

But behind the camera, something felt off.

Chris had built a successful career, but couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t giving him purpose anymore and 12 hour days, 7 days a week were leaving him at breaking point.
