I am, yet again, and almost constantly, amazed at what this show has allowed us to do. This week, while experiencing what I can only imagine is the most spectacularly reaffirming period in his professional life, Scott McEwen chose to spend time talking with us. It was his idea to capture and cultivate the story that became American Sniper, and now that story rules the literary world (it's #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list) and the world of cinema (it is currently enjoying its 6th week at #1 at the box office, is the biggest January movie of all time, and is nominated for 6 Academy Awards, including Best Picture). And at the apex of attention that comes with captivating the world with a tale, we got to sit down and ask him about dragging a 1400-pound moose out of frozen, slushy, Alaskan mud. That's good fun.
It was an honor and a tremendous pleasure to talk with Scott, and he was even more engaging and inspiring than we imagined. He's an adventurer, a patriot, and a renaissance man, and I hope his success continues to mirror his generosity with fans like us.
