Nate the Great! - My Story

Hey everyone - Nate the Great! here.

Yes… that Nate the Great.

The “legend” you never heard of until recently. 😎

I’m honored to be part of every community I join, even if I got started a little slower than most. Shoutout to the people who saw something in me before I even showed up.

I’m a 57‑year‑old Christian marketer and transformational writer. I’m also a Type 2 diabetic and a kidney transplant survivor - living proof that resilience, faith and the right words can carry you through the most difficult seasons of your life.

I’m on a lifelong mission of H.O.P.E. - Helping Other People Excel.

My calling is to help people rise spiritually, personally, professionally and creatively - no matter where they’re starting from.

I’m here because I believe people deserve simple, powerful tools to change their lives - starting with better words and small, aligned actions. You don’t need perfect conditions to activate your Greatness. You just need the right guidance, the right mindset and the right identity.

My writing is shaped by four giants in my life:

God - the source of my strength, my resilience, my identity and every ounce of Greatness I carry.

My Dad - a pastor whose life taught me compassion, clarity, conviction and how to serve people with integrity.

Dan Kennedy - the legendary copywriter who taught me the power of strategic words and how they can move people to action.

Les Brown - the motivational icon who said, “You have greatness in you. You’re here because the world needs you.” His message became the heartbeat of my mission - and the signature truth behind Greater Words, Greater You!

Those influences helped me survive some of the most difficult moments of my kidney transplant journey. Words - prayed, spoken, written and repeated - became my lifeline. They helped me endure. They helped me rise. They helped me rebuild.

Now, I’m all about helping you use better words and simple actions to build a greater life - even if you’re starting with absolutely nothing.

My Substack, Greater Words, Greater You!, is dedicated to activating your Greatness - not someday, not when everything lines up, but right now, with what you already have.

You can find it at GreaterWordsGreaterYou.com.

I’m here to learn, contribute, encourage, add value and grow.

And if you haven’t noticed by now, “great” is one of my favorite words of all time.

Because…

I’m all about that great, ’bout that great, ’bout that great… 😉

To OUR Greatness 🤝

Nate the Great! 💪
