The Journey with Clayton Nelson
The mission of this podcast is to build a supportive community where we explore the transformative journeys of our guests, celebrating the challenges they've overcome and the wisdom gained. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to inspire and uplift listeners, urging them to persevere through challenging times by drawing strength from others. It is my goal to ignite a spark within each listener, prompting them to reflect on the past storms they have weathered, recognize the lessons and personal growth they have experienced, and empower them to endure future challenges. By sharing our own mistakes and failures, I want to create a ripple effect, enabling others to learn and grow so they can reach their goals. I want to help people realize that if you don't quit, you can't lose. Keep showing up.

Surround Yourself with the Right People (Here’s Why) | Ep. 178
In this episode, I reflect on my experience at Running Man just a week ago. This was my third time going, and every single time I walk away with the same reminder: proximity is power.
I share why events like this are so powerful for me and how they’ve shown me the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. For example, when I tell most people I’m running a 100-mile race, they think it’s insane. But at Running Man, it’s normal—the standard. Instead of calling me crazy, people gave me advice on how to do it better.
That’s the power of proximity. Mentors make it real.
Right now, I feel like I have so much untapped potential inside me. I don’t have complete clarity on my life’s exact path yet—but I know my job isn’t to have it all figured out. My job is to keep moving in the direction of the person I want to become, to take action, and to learn from mentors who are already doing it at a high level.
