Hello! I'm Nick
nickolas L. Vannello
TRANSFORMATIONAL TRAINER
The difference between a rut and a grave is a few feet.
Let's get you out of your rut.
ABOUT NICK
I give people permission to lead their best Second-Half Lives.
​
My fabulous tribe includes those over 40, 50, 60, and beyond. After dedicating their lives to everyone else, I help people discover adventure, awaken passions, fulfill their purpose, and do it with lots of laughter.
I am known in professional circles as a dynamic instructor and workshop presenter who has presented in all 50 US States, dozens of universities, and even for the White House staff. But to pigeon-hole me as “just a speaker” category is unfair.
​
At the age of 22, an astrologer looked at my chart and said, “Oh, my! You’re going to be known for excelling at all kinds of things! You’ll need a business card for this specialty, a business card for this other specialty….” Her prediction was correct.
As a serial entrepreneur, I have built several businesses. Currently I am the CEO of GoNaked Travels, a service that takes male nudists to upscale, bucket-list destinations (crazy, right?!). My goal is to coach individuals to push beyond their own perceived limitations and teach that “success does not have a timeline.”
​
I believe that education and courage can transform your life. It worked for me, and I'm certain it will work for you.
​
You are the Captain of Your Soul.

Man and Superman.
You're expected to be both. But even Superman has to retreat to his Fortress of Solitude to rest and receive messages from his advisors. In this men-only retreat, you will learn my techniques to balance all areas of your life, how to set up healthy boundaries, and how to prioritize life's most important issues. You will leave with a sense of calm and focus, you will have a new set of superhero allies, and you will be ready to once again be the saviour of your world.
