    From Obsession to Purpose: The Kendama GOAT Who Nearly Quit

    Join the free 'Speak Like A Leader' community: https://www.skool.com/speaklikealeader/about Link to all podcast episodes: https://the-nicky-hughes-show.captivate.fm/listen What happens when you actually become the best in the world… and it still isn’t enough? In this episode of Just Getting Started, I sit down with 7× Kendama world champion Nick Gallagher - the man many consider the GOAT of his sport. We dive into what Kendama really is, how an 11-year-old in Seattle got hooked on a wooden toy, and the insane level of precision, practice and mindset it took to reach the very top. But this isn’t just a story about a niche Japanese skill toy. Nick opens up about the moment he realised being world champion wasn’t giving him purpose anymore, nearly going broke trying to build a business, walking away from his “dream job” in Japan, and rebuilding his life as a coach. We talk addictive personalities, identity, love, long-distance marriage, and what it actually takes to become “the GOAT” at anything - sport, business, or life. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this it?” even when things look good on the outside, this conversation will hit home. Enjoy! #NickGallagher #Kendama #KendamaChampion #WorldChampion #KendamaGOAT #JapanLife #JapaneseCulture #SkillSports #Mindset #PeakPerformance #Mastery #Obsession #Discipline #Resilience #IdentityShift #FindingPurpose

In this episode, I speak with Matteo Borea, an entrepreneur who inherited a family coffee business that began in 1936 - and then spent his life travelling the world, expanding it, reshaping it, and ultimately redefining what legacy means. We talk about: - Growing up inside a third-generation family business - Why Matteo spends most of his life abroad - What it really means to honour tradition while reinventing it - The culture shock of global exploration - The moment he realised he had a calling bigger than the business - And the human side of heritage, gratitude, and purpose This isn’t a story about an industry. It’s a story about a man finding himself across countries, cultures, and generations.
