Listen in as Erin and Nathan discuss:
- The life-altering moment that changed everything: a training ride that ended in a 60-mph collision, a coma, and the long road of learning to walk, talk, and live again.
- How adversity can become fuel instead of dead weight — and why “tomorrow is never promised” reframes how we use our time today.
- The difference between knowledge and wisdom, and why mentorship + proximity to high-level thinkers compresses your learning curve.
- A powerful redefinition of wealth: true wealth = ownership of your time, built through aligned assets, income streams, and purpose-driven stewardship.
- Why systems + delegation create scale — and how building teams is the bridge from solopreneur to entrepreneur to capitalist.
