About the show

The mission of this podcast is to build a supportive community where we explore the transformative journeys of our guests, celebrating the challenges they've overcome and the wisdom gained. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to inspire and uplift listeners, urging them to persevere through challenging times by drawing strength from others. It is my goal to ignite a spark within each listener, prompting them to reflect on the past storms they have weathered, recognize the lessons and personal growth they have experienced, and empower them to endure future challenges. By sharing our own mistakes and failures, I want to create a ripple effect, enabling others to learn and grow so they can reach their goals. I want to help people realize that if you don't quit, you can't lose. Keep showing up.

A Lesson From My Best Friend's Wedding | Ep. 196

In this episode, I share a lesson I took away from my best friend's wedding: every season of life comes to an end.We spend so much time chasing what's next that we forget to appreciate what's right in front of us. The season you're in right now won't last forever, which is exactly what makes it so valuable.I talk about why life's temporary nature gives it meaning and how learning to be present can help us appreciate the people, experiences, and moments we have today.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

The Identity Shift That Changed Everything | Ep 195

I break down the concept of “Be. Do. Have.” and how changing my identity changed everything for me.For a long time, I thought success worked like: have something first, then do the work, then become confident. But I realized the order is actually the opposite. If you want a certain life, you first have to become the type of person capable of creating it.Once you truly believe you are that person, your actions start to change. You begin doing the things that version of you would do consistently. And eventually, you have the results you once chased.I also connect this idea to Tony Robbins’ 3 S’s: State, Story, and Strategy - and how your identity, the story you tell yourself, and the energy you operate in all shape your results.This episode is about building belief, changing your identity, and becoming the person your goals require first.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

The Red Bottoms Method: How to Keep Going When Things Get Hard | Ep. 193

In this episode, I share what I call the “Red Bottoms Method” — the idea that when things get hard, you stop focusing on yourself and start supporting others.I talk about how this mindset was inspired by a girl on our sales team who had the biggest support at our marathon because she’s always the first person supporting everyone else. It’s also the same mindset that helped me finish my Ironman.I also give a life update from my first summer doing door-to-door sales to where I am now, and share the story of an 18-year-old rookie who had the courage to role play in front of the entire team on day one. You can teach a script, but you can’t teach courage.This episode is about growth, support, and putting yourself in situations that force you to become better.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson
