EP. 10: Feeling Stuck in Life? How to Figure Out What You're Meant to Do (Ft. Zachary Bailey)

If you're feeling stuck in life and trying to figure out what you're meant to do, this episode is for you. Nathan Olsen sits down with lifelong friend Zachary Bailey, who left the military and a trucking career behind to start over from scratch with no money, no website, and no roadmap. We talk about how to find your purpose when you don't know where to start, why every person has a gift (and why the people around you usually see it before you do), and the "third knock," which is learning to recognize the inspiration you keep ignoring. We also get into men's mental health and why asking for help is so hard, why buying more courses won't build your business, and how to keep taking action on the days you're overwhelmed and running on empty. This is real talk about starting over in life. Raw, unpolished, and shared from the middle of the process, not after the success story.
