    EP 13: What Addiction Taught Me About Traveling & Leading

    In this solo episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I share how a single decision became the turning point in my ten-year battle with addiction & ultimately shaped how I live as a nomad & lead as a CEO. This conversation is about choosing yourself fully, cutting off the alternative & honoring the life you say you want. What I open up about • Addiction as a spiritual void, psychological disconnect & physiological deficiency • The day I realized sugar had more power over me than I had over myself • Why deciding means to cut off, not to negotiate • How one decision made thousands of future decisions easier • Letting go of sugar alcohol & coping patterns • Why nomad life requires sacrifice, responsibility & clarity • Being a CEO who follows through when everything falls apart • The Fiji retreat chaos & why commitment always finds a way Highlights: “I only saw pain, no pleasure anymore.” “If your actions have not changed, you have not decided.” “Nomad does not just mean freedom it means responsibility” “When you truly decide, you will always find a way.” “You are worth the decision & the outcome, but you have to fight for it” This episode is for anyone stuck in indecision, addiction, overwhelm, or fear. Your next level does not come from more information; it comes from a decision.   Enjoying the conversation?Stay connected & join the movement: 📍 Follow Kens (Host) IG: https://www.instagram.com/nomad_ceo_/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mckensie-stanton-765299325 🌍 World Changers: https://www.instagram.com/worldchangers.me/ ⚡ Elite Edge: https://www.instagram.com/elite_edge___/  📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586444813911    🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube

    EP 12: Chainsaws, Courage & Conscious Leadership: How Shelby Descamps Builds Powerful Humans

    In this episode of The Nomad CEO Podcast, Ken sits down with Shelby Descamps — leadership development facilitator for the Idaho National Guard, former wildland firefighter, and life coach — to explore what it really means to lead with courage, integrity, and emotional intelligence. Shelby shares her unconventional journey from studying animal science at California State University, Chico, to fighting wildfires across the Mountain West and Alaska. A conservation corps project in the North Kaibab National Forest sparked her entry into fire, where running chainsaws and working in high-risk environments taught her powerful lessons about focus, fear, and self-trust. The conversation delves into the balance between hard and soft leadership skills, the importance of physical vitality as a leadership tool, and the mentors who shaped her philosophy along the way. Shelby also breaks down practical frameworks for giving and receiving feedback, including SBI, the Pendleton Method, and her favorite, the BOOST method — tools that help people navigate difficult conversations with clarity and confidence. Shelby opens up about her transition into life coaching, her passion for facilitating transformational retreats with accountability built in, and why having an objective third party can be a game-changer for personal growth. This episode is a powerful exploration of leadership, communication, resilience, and what it takes to build strong humans — in business and in life. ⭐️ Find Shelby on Instagram @mindbodyauthority   Enjoying the conversation?

    EP 11: The First 90 Days as a Nomad CEO

    This episode is a raw look into my first 90 days living fully as a nomad CEO beyond the highlight reel. I share what led me here, including divorce, losing a business, unstable income, panic attacks, rebuilding from zero & choosing faith over fear. I talk about why I said yes to travel again, even when it felt irresponsible on paper & how that decision changed everything. Inside this episode, I cover • The moment travel stopped being a dream & became a decision • What it really costs emotionally, financially & mentally to live this lifestyle • Leading a World Changers retreat in Fiji & why it marked a turning point in my leadership • Building community, systems & stability while moving across countries • The truth about discipline, late nights & responsibility behind freedom • Why the Nomad CEO life is hard work & still 1000 percent worth it If you are craving freedom, rebuilding your life, or wondering if you are strong enough to carry a bigger vision, this episode is your reminder that purpose always requires a price & the best life is built with intention, not comfort.   Enjoying the conversation?Stay connected & join the movement: 📍 Follow Kens (Host) IG: https://www.instagram.com/nomad_ceo_/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mckensie-stanton-765299325 🌍 World Changers: https://www.instagram.com/worldchangers.me/ ⚡ Elite Edge: https://www.instagram.com/elite_edge___/  📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586444813911    🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube
