You’re not an impostor. But it sure feels like it most days.

I’ve known Nick for over 25 years, and I’ll be the first to admit — there were times when our relationship was strained, even broken. We had our fair share of bad moments, and I wasn’t sure we’d ever be close again. But I’ve watched this man do the work. I’ve seen the humility, the accountability, and the growth — not just surface-level change, but the kind that sticks. The transformation hasn’t just been personal — it’s been powerful. Today, he shows up with integrity, empathy, and a heart to serve others in a way I wouldn’t have believed two decades ago. We’ve repaired our relationship, and I know what he says is sincere. I truly believe he’s in a position to help people — not because he’s perfect, but because he’s lived through the hard stuff, owned it, and come out stronger on the other side.

I’ve known Nick for 25+ years, which is wild to even say out loud. In some ways, he’s still got the same spark, the same humor, and the same drive I saw in him when we were 16. But the person he is today? That’s someone who’s done the work. He’s grown in ways that are hard to put into words — more grounded, more intentional, and genuinely focused on helping others succeed. It’s not just talk. You can feel that he actually wants people to win. Watching his evolution over the years has been both inspiring and humbling, and I can honestly say I believe in what he’s doing now. He’s not chasing ego — he’s building impact.
