One of the devastating and heartbreaking truths about people who have traumatic childhood experiences, for people who grew up in homes that maybe aren't so forgiving, for people who suffer at the hands of bullying or being mistreated, is that they start to think that their story doesn't matter when in fact, one of the most important things that we have is our story, the decision, and the choices that we make to not only let that story not own us, but for us to own it and to use our story to make the world a better place. And that's very much the truth for today's guest, my friend, and coach, Jimmy Nelson.
Jimmy Hays Nelson, AKA coach Jimmy has been a high-performance business coach for over a decade. Jimmy's skills have allowed him to connect personal stories to products and services so that people can create the life they want. I won't get into Jimmy's full story because I want you to listen to the show. Still, he faced a tremendous amount of bullying, being overweight, having people not believe in him, finding himself on the brink of financial collapse, and then one day making a decision to become the hero of his own story.
Jimmy's a great friend of mine, someone that I look up to in the world, someone who I think is an amazing leader, who's truthful, honest, and whose Texas draw will definitely get your attention.
