Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Nate Paxton . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Nate, appreciate you joining us today. Parents play a huge role in our development as youngsters and sometimes that impact follows us into adulthood and into our lives and careers. Looking back, what’s something you think you parents did right?

My parents are absolute legends and super hero’s in my eyes. Throughout my upbringing my family struggled with poverty and homelessness for quite sometime, all the way until I was in college until I earned a full scholarship at Georgia State University.

Throughout my life no matter what our circumstances were they always kept my two younger brothers and I on the right path. We all had straight A’s throughout school and are all athletes. Two of us have graduated college and are playing professionally while the youngest is in college and is graduating in December.

My parents taught us how to keep GOD first and in everything we do. They also taught us to treat the janitor with the same respect you would treat the CEO. And one of my favorite things they taught us was how you do anything is how you do everything. This is why I give my all at everything. And due to very humble beginnings I cherish things and opportunities most people overlook.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Nate Paxton and I’m a professional football player and Entrepreneur. I started off as just a little boy in a bad situation with a major dream. I went to small high school that wasn’t known for producing college football players but I worked my tail off to be the first Division 1 football player in over the last 20 years. Throughout the period my family was struggling with poverty and homelessness. Eventually I got a walk on opportunity at Georgia State University in the spring of 2012 with Hall of Fame coach Bill Curry who was the head coach at GSU at the time. After two years of sitting out waiting and praying for an opportunity GOD blessed me with one. While I wasn’t in school those two years I was helping my family with anything I could and working out at playgrounds and in our moldy, old hotel room because I couldn’t afford a gym membership anywhere. Coach Curry told me to come to the walk-on tryout in February and we’ll see what I was capable. Out of a couple 100 people I was the only D-Lineman who got picked up. Once I made the team it took me 3 years to obtain a full scholarship. After that I became a team captain and earned playing time. After I graduated from GSU I was blessed to receive opportunities to go workout with the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks. That didn’t go as planned but I still pursued football. So in 2017 I was able to go win a gold medal out in Shenzhen, China playing football. And recently I’ve been blessed to play the last two seasons with the Bismarck Bucks in the IFL (the highest level of arena football), so I’ve had some great success in football to say the least. I’ve been overlooked alost my entire life and told no, but to me no always meant Next Opportunity so I continue to grind, knowing that my faith and hard work will take you further than anything in this world. Recently almost 2 years ago now my father passed away from cancer, and that was a major blow to my family. He was and is still is our super hero. Throughout this time I’ve been wanting to impact more people and the best way to do so in my opinion is to change their financial situation. So over the last two years I’ve been teaching and helping people learn how to create and multiply residual (passive) income in the different financial markets.
The things that set me apart from many people is that I’m really hands on and I care about people. I tell people this all the time, “ people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”So I’m accessible all through the week for my people and I run zooms and in person meet ups weekly for the last two years. People always come before profits, and impact comes before income.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I believe honesty, integrity, work ethic, leadership skills, environment, marketing, and ultimately results helped me build my reputation within my market.

Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?

I honestly don’t believe in managing I believe in leading, therefore, the speed of the leader is the speed of the pack. I believe growing yourself through personal development and seminars while bring your team with you help maintain that high morale. Also pouring into your people is huge. I don’t hold back information because I genuinely want to see people win.
