Hello All,
My name is Nick Banik, and currently I'm in Portland, OR, USA. I am living here right now, but last year I traveled around the United States in an RV with my wife, 3 kids, and dog. I have read The Millionaire Fastlane and Unscripted , and I'm currently listening to the Unscripted audiobook again.
I lived in Portland for over 10 years before we went on the road and I worked at 3 different digital marketing agencies before going off on my own. Basically, at the 3rd agency I worked at, I stayed for over 5 years and worked my way up from a paid media strategist to the VP of paid media and had a pretty large team to manage. I also got my international MBA during all this. I F*cking hated it, and I was in the slow lane without realizing it and without knowing what to do next. Sure, I was getting more money each year and working my way up, but I was non-stop grinding, barely getting time off, and it was impeding on my personal and family life.
I ended up convincing the other co-founders to let me go remote and work from an RV as I traveled. After just 2 months of that, I was done. I won't go into all the details, but a bunch of changes happened to the agency and I was unable to do much about it besides try to roll with the onslaught of punches. I made mistakes there and throughout my life just like MJ did and I learned a lot, but I decided to create my own agency/consultancy that would be just myself and eventually a couple more employees.
It was really intense adjusting to living and traveling full-time in the RV, raising a family, and starting my business, but it worked out. I listened to lots of audiobooks on business and I found TMF and Unscripted . I was still grinding too much and trying to break old habits when I read them, and I immediately changed the way I worked. Now, my business is flourishing, I'm working on my newer second venture, and I feel like I'm just getting started on my endeavors.
I'm super happy, and I'm excited to meet all of you and have great discussions!
