Hey there!
I’m Nathan, the creator and host of the Just A Dude podcast. I started this show because I love talking about news, politics, comedy, and honestly, whatever else sparks curiosity. My goal is to keep things meaningful, educational, and yes, sprinkled with a good dose of humor.
This podcast is all about building a community where you get a say. Got a topic you’re itching to hear about? A guest you’d love to recommend? Heck, maybe you want to hop on as a guest yourself—this is the place for that! It’s a podcast for everyday folks, the "normal" people. And what’s "normal," you ask? Well, it’s all of us who hustle every day—working hard, providing for our families, starting from the ground up, or still climbing.
Why the name Just A Dude? Because that’s exactly who I am—just a dude. I’m not a superstar athlete (trust me, my videos prove that), not a millionaire, not some big-shot business mogul. I’m just a regular guy who put himself through college and worked his way up from the bottom. I believe in the American Dream and the idea that, through hard work and community, we can all chase it together.
So, Dudes and Dudettes, let’s grow this community, share ideas, and make each other’s lives a little better. I can’t wait to connect with you all! God bless, and let’s do this thing!
