Ep. 38 Losing Everything to Find Everything

Power ON Boost

In this episode, Adrian Wesley and Nate Wells talk about how to bounce back from losing everything in your life to being the best version of you in all areas of your life.

Nate Wells was born in a small mining village near Doncaster in Yorkshire, England. He grew up during the mining strike and poverty during the 1980’s and so when he was 17, he joined a van of gypsies bound for France to work on the roads. A year later, he went to Paris and joined the opening squad of Paris Disneyland. Then, he started his own international courier company at 20, that required him to fly all over the world. Because that wasn’t sustainable in the long run, he moved to Portugal and opened his first restaurant. Then, he decided to buy a bus and travel around Europe for a couple of years. Eventually, he ended up in Vietnam when he was 30. There he set up 18 restaurants and a nightclub by the beach. Nate had it all, status and wealth, lucrative businesses, a wife and daughter, and a reputation of being a successful businessman up until 5 years ago. He lost it all, his marriage failed, he became homeless and had no money to his name at the age of 39. This adversity drove him back to the UK to drive a truck as his new job to make ends meet. During these days was when he had time to figure out his life, learn about money and life through audiobooks and podcasts.

Today, Nate is the co-founder of CEO Movement, determined to help as many people as possible realise that there’s more to life than 9 to 5. He has now been able to mentor 3000+ people towards success online.

Nate tells listeners: ``Happiness is all about freedom. It is about doing whatever you want, wherever you want, with whoever you want, for as long as you want, without answering to anybody.”
