Nolan Nichols: Rising Against the Wind
Have you ever felt the headwinds of life or work push you down — instead of using them to lift you higher? In this episode, guest Nolan recalls sitting in a dim‑lit theater in 2018, hearing the song “A Million Dreams,” and feeling a powerful pull toward a bigger purpose. That moment cracked open a vision for a life where work and heart intersect. From producing video at Virginia Tech Athletics to traveling Washington, D.C., speaking at corporate conferences, and ultimately founding A Million Dreams, Nolan’s journey asks a bold question: what if your setbacks become the very lift you need to soar?
As a leader, he teaches that true success is not just profit or promotion. It’s listening when others don’t speak, seeing potential where others see only problems, and giving people space to bring their whole selves to work. If you care about the impact of your leadership — whether you’re managing a team, leading a company, or simply striving to be a better human — this conversation gives you tools to build a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and motivated to show up as their best selves.
P.S. Take a moment after listening. Ask yourself: where can I listen more today? Who in my world needs that little lift to take off against their headwinds?
