Marc Ellis Tells The Wildest Stories We’ve Ever Heard - What A Lad #whatalad #marcellis
Marc Ellis is one of the most iconic and entertaining characters New Zealand rugby has ever produced. A former All Black known for his speed, skill and ability to light up a game, Ellis became just as famous off the field for his larger-than-life personality, quick wit and outrageous stories that have become the stuff of legend. In this episode of What a Lad, Marc opens up about the journey through rugby and beyond. From his rise through Otago and into the All Blacks, to the wild days of student life, media, business ventures and everything in between, this one is packed with laughs, chaos and a few unexpected insights. Some parts that stood out for me in this episode were… His rise through Otago rugby and what it took to reach the All Blacks The famous stories from his university days and how loose things really got Buying a fire engine with his mates and the chaos that came with it The reality behind some of the stories people have heard over the years His mindset around taking opportunities and backing yourself His memories from the All Blacks including score 6 or 8 tries in one game! How he found the Warriors and the culture difference to rugby His perspective on risk, failure and why you’ve just got to have a crack And heaps more! This episode is pure entertainment. Marc brings unbelievable energy, humour and honesty, with story after story that somehow just keep getting better. There’s a lot of laughs in this one, but also some great perspective around life, backing yourself and making the most of every opportunity.
