  • #201 - 7x Ninja Warrior Nate Burkhalter uses his faith to succeed and make decisions
    In Nates words - who he is:

    I'm the oldest of 5 siblings,someone who is highly ambitious, and I love to share God's love with others!

    My friendships have helped shape the man I've become, and nothing is more important than the people I allow to influence my life!

    I'm a Mechanical Engineer from Louisiana Tech University, and have now worked over 10 years in the Energy Industry. My roles have consisted of a mix of technical and leadership in various forms of Equipment Design, Project Management, Operations Support. I've worked in power plants, refineries, on offshore drilling rigs and production platforms, and traveled all over the U.S., Africa, and Europe.

    I've directly managed upwards of $100 Million in projects for ExxonMobil the past 7 years, and I attribute my success to goal setting, planning, co-workers that mentored/taught me, the Bible, and my close friends.

    I've always had a deep passion for sports and competition, and my athleticism has continued to grow as I gain confidence and strength through focused training.

    Athletic Bio:

    I was the top varsity player for my high school tennis team for 2 years. Football was my favorite sport, but I weighed around 130 lbs in high school, and it wasn't an option. Once I went to college, I set my sights on walking on to the Louisiana Tech University football team. By my sophomore year I'd bulked up to 195 lbs, and had been working out with several guys on the team in order to be ready for spring tryouts. I cleared several of the initial tests to join the team, but soon after I was severely injured in an off the field burn accident, which gave me 2nd and 3rd degree burns, put me in the burn ICU hospital unit for 2 weeks, and left me in a wheelchair. After getting out, I'd lost around 25 pounds of muscle, and couldn't bend my knees without incredible pain. It was one of the toughest times of my life, and ended my dream of playing college football.

    The next 6 months of my life were a steady rehab of regaining strength and flexibility, working through my engineering classes and internships, and continuing to push on to new physical challenges.

    American Ninja Warrior:

    I’ve competed on ANW for 7 seasons! The show and competition represents a chance for me to apply all of my prior athletic training, passion for football /competitive sports, and now compete on the big stage again! It's a chance for me to overcome prior injuries, setback, and disappointment, and push myself and others to new levels!

    I applied for season’s 6 & 7, but wasn’t accepted, so I went through the walk-on process to be a part of the show. I was officially accepted to ANW on season 8 (2016), and beat the regional qualifier and advanced through the regional finals. That year I went on to compete in the Vegas National Finals! Unfortunately an ankle break/sprain ended my run at the beginning of stage 1.

    My brothers Joel & Ben Burkhalter have both competed on the show, and advanced to the regional finals of their respective episodes.

    2016 also led to Team Ninja Warrior with Daniel Gil and Barclay Stockett! We advanced to the Final 4, after starting with 32 other teams! I sustained a shoulder injury in the finals round, which ended that season…

    2017 & 2018 seasons both went well, but I placed 16th in the regional finals, and didn’t make one of the top 15 spots that advanced to the Vegas National Finals

    2019 - the year of BREAKTHROUGH!

    Advanced through Tacoma regional qualifiers and finals, and placed 10th overall, which qualified me for the Las Vegas National Finals!

    I had a huge breakthrough, and beat stage 1 of the National Finals for the 1st time in my ninja career!

    Got serious food poisioning and lost 12 lbs of fluids before stage 2 run, but moved into elite status by BEATING STAGE 2 with only ONE SECOND REMAINING!

    EXATLON EEUU - Worlds Toughest Reality TV Athletic Completion!

    I was blessed to be accepted to season 4 of Exatlon Estados Unidos (United States), one of Telemundo Networks top tv shows (owned by NBC Uni).

    I competed on Team Famosos for 7 months. The show format consisted of daily obstacle course racing against members of the opposite team. The environment was challenging, because it took many themes and elements from Survivor and blended them into the competition. Competitors were without cell phones, tv, email, computers, and access to basic elements of life like books, journals, freedom to leave the competition area or “home”, and were unable to have vitamins, protien powder, recovery tools, etc. The toughest element of the competition was having no conneection to the outside world; no phone calls or texts with friends or family. No news of home or of the world (i.e. we didn’t know about the COVID-19 Pandemic for 3 months).

    I battled through the daily competitions, and survived 23 weeks of eliminations, 3 serious injuries (achilles tendon, ruptured discs in neck, fractured ankle), and the language barrier (show was solely in Spanish), all to make it to the final week and end up being crowned the Grand Champion!

  • #198 - Jeremy Miner will teach you how to close more sales in less time
    Jeremy Miner created the Neuro-Emotional Persuasion Questioning or NEPQ methodology, which is the model of selling that focuses on gaining the trust of your buyer and solidifying your authority.

    Jeremy was Regional Sales Manager and the top salesperson at Vivint, a supplier of home security services. He expanded the sales force, developed the sales training materials, and increased the company's annual revenue tenfold to $100M in two years. At Pinnacle Security almost 20 years ago, Jeremy started his sales career selling home security products door-to-door. Here he had his initial epiphany about conventional sales approaches and subsequently adapted his methods. His new methods earned him $100,000 during a summer break from college and the Vice President of Sales job two years later, during which he played a key part in the company being named to the INC. 500 list of fastest-growing companies. Jeremy studied behavioral and organizational science at Utah Valley University, which was to play a foundational role in the career-long development of his Neuro-Emotional Persuasion Questioning sales methodology.[1]

    Miner began his career in June 2001 at Pinnacle Security selling home security systems. He was later promoted and started managing the salesforce. Miner was influential in launching Pinnacle Inc. to one of the 500 fastest growing companies in 2002 and 2003. In 2015 Jeremy Miner, John Jackson and Ryan Nelson[2] launched the self-help service Champion Movement in 2015 in partnership with Simon Sinek distributing the Simon Sinek's Start With Why[3] book and program.
