Nick Mornard

In this episode, Nick shares the raw, unfiltered story of how he left Belgium, won the green card lottery, struggled through his first years in the U.S.—and ultimately built a global sales organization spanning 8 countries and over 3,000 people.

You’ll learn: ✅ The mindset shift that turned setbacks into superpowers
✅ How he taught himself English on the fly
✅ What most Americans completely misunderstand about opportunity
✅ His formula for building high-performance sales teams
✅ Why mentorship and proximity changed everything

This one’s about more than business.
It’s about grit, faith, and chasing freedom—no matter the cost.
