Alex returns for the second time to the University of Adversity, talking about mastering the ego, shadow work and personal growth through healing. Alex Nelson, born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an entrepreneur, life transformation coach, retreat facilitator, and the host of the Through The Veil podcast. After selling his asphalt business in early 2017, he embarked upon a journey that led him through various corporate management jobs, finally landing in my current role as a full time personal coach and transformational experience specialist.
