TPM Episode 86: Scott Gaffney, Filmmaker

Scott Gaffney is a Sherpa in the world of elite athletes.  He carries a 40 pound backpack through some of the more remote places in the world all in the name of "getting the shot".  Like many before him, the ski dream was only achieved through hardships that a lot of us don't know.  Sleeping in cars, taking showers in local sprinkler systems and doing whatever it takes to make it.  And for Scott, "making it" became a sort of groundhog day of filming, editing and producing rad ski movies.  Hear the whole story on the podcast.   Scott Gaffney Show Notes: 2:00:  South America and Tahoe 8:00:  Growing up in NY 14:00:  Seeing movies and they change his life, his brother Robb and moving to Colorado 17:30:  Evo (Use the code TPM10 for 10% off at checkout) RESQWATER (enter the code resqwatertpm for a 20% discount on a 12 pack) The 10 Barrel Brewery:  My favorite is Out of Office Pilsner 20:00:  Summit County and meeting Shane 25:00:  Moving to Tahoe, how is he making ends meet and Walls of Freedom 32:00:  Meeting the MSP guys and the struggle coming up 36:00:  The MSP days and living with McConkey 43:00:  Losing his best friend and the McConkey Movie 49:00:  What does he actually do? 53:00:  The past 4 years of MSP movies 57:30:  Inappropriate Questions
