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.

SUPERCHARGE YOUR
SALES PAGES

Coming January 2024

If you are a dynamic retreat leader who is being held back because of your lack of computer skills or fear of building your retreat sales page, then join me and other remarkable leaders as you learn how to build your retreat sales page in record time and banish the mindset blocks that have been holding you back from true prosperity.

 

By the end of this workshop you will walk away with a complete sales page, ready to accept paying clients, so that you can erase the technical phobias that have been holding you back from success. AND, you'll be able to use this sales page as a template for future retreats to duplicate your success over and over again!
