    I started this podcast 7 years ago with the first episode airing on December 17, 2017 with former Ohio State and NFL running back, Beanie Wells.  Since that time, I have interviewed over 400 people from all walks of life, with each interview trying to dig deep into my guests' stories to find the self-improvement takeaways toward enhancing our lives. As I reflect on the podcast, I am at a point where I have to evaluate what I want this to look like moving forward.  It's been a hell of a run these past 7 years and I have learned from some of the brightest minds and made some awesome connections along the way.  But it's now time for introspection and to decide whether to pivot the podcast into something more narrowly tailored or possibly move on for good. Life is about evolving and sometimes we are forced to reset our minds, bodies and souls to ensure we continue to align with whatever it is we are doing.  While I haven't made a definitive decision about the podcast's future, I will say I am beyond grateful to all who have listened and to those who continue to listen and share the episodes with family and friends.  While this is not necessarily a goodbye forever, it is a goodbye for now... --Nate To contact me, send an email to nate@natehaber.com
