In this episode of Get Out Of Your Own Way, Marty and I sit down with the remarkable Nathan Kohlerman—a man whose journey through grief, trauma, and inner darkness has shaped him into a true leader and healer. This conversation goes deep. We explore the raw and often uncomfortable process of facing your shadows and transforming pain into purpose.
Nathan shares his incredible story of publishing his book, a project born out of his own experiences with loss and healing. We talk about what it means to hold space for grief, navigate life’s darkest moments, and find meaning in the chaos.
This isn’t your typical personal development chat. Nathan challenges us to redefine leadership and authenticity, showing that true growth only comes when you embrace your entire self—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Together, we explore:
This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop running from their struggles and start leading with authenticity and courage. It’s not always easy, but it’s the work that leads to real, lasting change.

Final Thoughts:
This episode is a powerful reminder that the road to personal transformation is messy, but it’s worth every step. If you’re ready to stop getting in your own way and step into the life you’re meant to lead, this conversation is for you.
Listen, reflect, and take action. Your journey starts now.
Vision doesn't just shape your business, but your entire life.
Today, Marty and I will explore the critical difference between pursuing what you love versus running from what you don’t. Many entrepreneurs start by enduring the grind for a future payoff, but at some point, you need to ask: When do I start loving what I do?
We’ll break down our vision framework—a practical triangle that consists of Vision, Void, and Values—to help you define what you truly want, identify what’s holding you back, and align your core priorities with your actions.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why your vision is the key to navigating challenges and making better choices.
- The importance of defining your "perfect day" and how it serves as a blueprint for your ideal future.
- How to recognize and let go of limiting beliefs and habits that no longer serve you.
- Why vague goals like “financial freedom” won’t cut it and how to replace them with concrete, actionable visions.
This is more than just another conversation about success; it’s about becoming the visionary leader of your life.

This is the second part of our Vision Framework: the Perfect Day. It’s time to get intentional about your daily routine—not just those rare, idyllic days on vacation, but the everyday Tuesday. What does your ideal normal day look like?
We’ll explore why grounding yourself in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day and how building a routine around what matters most can create true fulfillment. Whether it’s meditation, time with family, or simply designing your day in a way that brings energy and joy, the Perfect Day is your foundation for success.
This isn’t just theory; it’s the framework I use with clients, in retreats, and in my own life. If you’re stuck in a rut, plateauing, or unsure of what’s next, this episode will give you actionable steps to align your daily life with your bigger vision.
What You'll Learn:
- Why vision isn’t just for your business, but for your entire life
- How to structure your day for maximum fulfillment and productivity
- The four segments of the Perfect Day and how to optimize each
- Practical tips to implement your ideal routine starting now
Stay tuned for more in this series of Vision and taking control of your life once and for all.
Welcome to a new series all about Vision. Marty and I dive deep into the real meaning of vision. Vision isn’t just about goals or aspirations—it’s a way of life. Without it, you’re adrift. With it, everything becomes clear.
We’ll explore why vision is the core of any successful journey, in business and beyond. Most leaders think they have a vision, but we’re challenging you to think bigger. Forget the usual frameworks. We’re laying out our own six-part method that’s helped our clients at the top tiers redefine what’s possible. In this series, we’ll unpack the path from Horizon to expanding your comfort zone, from defining your future self to creating lasting habits.
It’s time to see your potential, not just as a leader but as a true visionary.

This episode is all about why your health is the foundation of your success as an entrepreneur, business owner, or leader. Without it, you're screwed. I’ve seen it time and again: if you’re wealthy but not healthy, you're not truly wealthy.
What You'll Learn:
- Health is the foundation for everything: Your health fuels better decisions, creative problem-solving, and longevity in both life and business.
- Stress and immune system management: If you're not taking care of your health, you're losing days to stress and illness that could be spent building your vision.
- Creativity and decision-making: A healthy body and mind allow you to think outside the box and make better, quicker decisions.
- Presentation matters: People make instant judgments based on how you take care of yourself. Showing up healthy signals discipline and commitment.
- Your Challenge: Today, make one decision about your health. Whether it's starting a fitness routine, booking that doctor's appointment, or improving your diet—take action!
- Let’s be real: you're an entrepreneur playing the long game. If you don't make health a priority now, you're going to pay for it later. Make the choice today.

In this episode I sit down with Brett Gilliland, founder of Elite Entrepreneurs, to unpack the strategies and mindset shifts that help business owners go from seven figures to eight—and beyond. Brett’s journey is unique. He didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur, but he found himself building a $100 million company and learning firsthand the grit and emotional fortitude it takes to scale a business. In this conversation, we dive deep into that emotional journey and the real-life challenges of growing a successful company.
Brett shares incredible insights on what it takes to become “elite,” why resilience is essential, and how to lead a business through tough times. We also talk about the dangers of constantly "moving the goalposts," the importance of celebrating milestones, and how to create a team culture that scales alongside your business. One of the most powerful themes we hit on is finding harmony between business growth and personal well-being—because what’s the point of building a great company if you’re burning yourself out in the process?
This episode is packed with practical takeaways and inspiring lessons for entrepreneurs at all stages. Whether you’re looking to level up your business, build a stronger team, or find more balance in your life, you’re going to want to tune in!

Join us for an authentic, inspiring conversation that will challenge you to think differently about leadership, culture, and the way you approach growth.
In this episode, Marty Nocchi and I sit down to tackle one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face—creating a clear and compelling vision. We explore why so many entrepreneurs get stuck, thinking their vision is just an extension of their current reality. The truth is, to build a vision that truly excites you, you need to break free from what’s comfortable and dive into the unknown.
We also dig into the importance of having a deeper purpose beyond just financial freedom—because trust me, if you don't have a vision that's meaningful, even success will feel empty.
What We Cover:
- Breaking Free From the Past – The hardest part of building a vision is letting go of the past. Most entrepreneurs extend their current path, but real growth comes from leaving old habits behind and stepping into something new.
- Vision Is Not Just About Money – Financial freedom is great, but without a vision that drives you beyond dollars, you're likely to feel lost, no matter how much money you have.
- Vision Demands Change – Growth is optional. If you’re stuck or feel unfulfilled, it’s time to challenge yourself with a new vision. One that forces you to evolve and inspires you to wake up excited each day.
If you’re ready to get out of your own way and build a vision that lights you up, this episode is for you. Reach out to us for our vision framework, and start designing the life and business you truly want.
