About this listen

In this episode of In Pursuit, Rich Froning sits down with Trent Ellis, Marine, outdoorsman, and rising social media voice, whose mix of grit, humor, and authenticity has built him a loyal following. Trent opens up about his journey from small-town Mississippi dreams of football, to deployments overseas, to finding peace and purpose back in the woods. He shares how hunting with his brother shaped his early years, why fitness and preparation matter in the backcountry, and how storytelling on social media (and now stand-up comedy) has given him a new platform to inspire others.
From lessons learned in the Marines to the joy of making memories with his own kids in the outdoors, Trent reminds us that living authentically isn’t about chasing the spotlight—it’s about keeping your priorities rooted in family, faith, and the wild.
