This week on Spin It, Stephynie is speaking with Nathan Chan! Nathan’s journey started off like so many of the other stories you hear out there. He got an IT degree because he believed it was the best degree to set him up for the future. He proceeded to get a job in IT and instantly hated it. So in order to break away from the misery, he headed off to Europe. While in Europe he had an epiphany and makes the decision not return to the job he dreads so much. Fast forward, Nathan takes a leap of faith and bootstraps what we know today as Foundr magazine on less than three thousand dollars and takes it from idea to inception in just 4 months.  Today, Foundr is much more than the magazine it started off as. Foundr has grown into a digital content empire and serves as a major resource for today’s entrepreneurs and business owners of the future. On today’s episode, they take an intimate look into Nathan’s journey and find out how he was able to turn several obstacles along the way into opportunities and ultimately find a way to spin life in his direction!    Timestamps: 00:00 - Spin It Intro 00:32 - Nathan Chan Intro 01:31 - Introductory Comments 01:54 - Why Nathan Started Foundr 05:27 - Teachers on the Foundr Platform 10:27 - Consistently Adding Value 11:24 - Nathan’s Approach to Micro-Learning 14:03 - Can everyone be an Entrepreneur? 15:08 - The Biggest Adversity Nathan & Foundr are Facing 17:18 - Worst Piece of Business Advice Received 18:19 - One Quality Nathan Wants to Develop 20:35 - Nathans Morning Office Routine 23:09 - Nathans view on small talk 26:54 - Top Qualities of a Leader 27:34 - Nathan Chans Courses 30:18 - How Nathan Chan got Richard Branson and Arianna Huffington 34:18 - Top 3 people Nathan would love to have on Foundr 38:50 - Nathan’s biggest obstacle he turned into an opportunity 40:45 - Surprise Gift from Nathan 41:16 - Spin It Outro   Social Media & Important Links: Free Gift: Go to Foundr.com/membership sign up and get a free subscription Foundr Instagram: https://instagram.com/foundr?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Nathan Chan’s Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanhchan
