Low Point, High Calling: Leadership from the Roots

EPISODE SUMMARY The Plague sits down at The Nomad in downtown Elkhorn with Eric “Low Point” Ellison — one of the few men in F3 Omaha posting alongside his own father, High Point. What begins as a hilarious story about thinking F3 was “old guy stuff” unfolds into a grounded conversation about fatherhood, injuries, consistency, identity after sports, and the quiet battle to stay connected when life gets heavy. “Low Point, High Calling” is ultimately a story about inherited leadership, relational acceleration, and the men who help keep us from drifting.
