E26

 

Today we talk through failure as an entrepreneur and getting back at it over and over again. Nick Devlin is currently a life coach pursuing a role leading entrepreneurs in adventures to challenge their comfort zone in extreme outings. Nick is a 4 combat season Army Ranger 75th regiment vet, MBA graduate of Cornell, father, and husband.

 

Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what you want to do in life to live intentionally but you know it’s not what your doing currently. Nick talks through testing out what he thought he should lean into and what he didn’t like in order to finally land on what he feels he was meant to do. It’s ok if you don’t know what you want to do but you have to try different things and go for it to know what works and what doesn’t.
