We all have our defining moments along the way that shape our lives and motives. Nate’s parents declared bankruptcy in his early teenage years which propelled him to seek financial freedom for himself and for his family ever since. Initially leading him down more self-destructive paths, Nate eventually figured out that the hero’s journey wasn’t just about the outside journey, but one of self-discovery and deeper meaning.
Even after achieving financial success he felt something deeper calling. Using what he learned in that external journey, Nate applied his lessons of higher accountability and responsibility to developing communities and sharing his gifts with those around him.
Nate Lind, the youngest of six kids, is an entrepreneur, explorer and investor. He is the founder of Legendary Man an 8-figure e-commerce company, and one of the most popular men’s grooming and lifestyle brands in the world.
His first taste of financial success came in his early twenties when he became proficient in the art of buying and flipping houses. When he saw the impending housing crash coming in 2007, he transitioned from flipper to Fortune 100 consultant, with projects at the world’s largest financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. By 2011 he was recruited to Bank of America as a Vice President.
Though he’d tasted wealth, married, started a family, he found a deep sense of emptiness in his own purpose outside of family. As he began looking for opportunities to fill that emptiness he discovered men’s grooming products such as beard oil and a unique brotherhood like no other.
Nate introduced his first proprietary beard oil, product and watched every aspect of his life start to improve. Nate’s most recent project is a culmination of his community building, events and ecommerce experience – the launch of Legendary Man. Legendary Man inspires men to discover their inner hero and to create community through adventure.
