Nathan Olson: When Success Isn’t Enough — Finding Purpose Beyond Money | EP 238
What happens when you finally achieve the success you’ve been chasing—and still find yourself asking, Now what?”
In Episode 238 of The Chris & Mike Show, entrepreneur **Nathan Olson** joins Chris Dunham and Mike Michaels for a powerful conversation about success, financial struggle, mental health, purpose, and discovering that money alone doesn’t create fulfillment.
Nathan opens up about his journey from struggling financially to reaching a level of success he once worked desperately to achieve. But instead of answering all his questions, success created new ones. Behind the accomplishments were battles with anxiety, depression, isolation, and the realization that achieving financial goals didn’t automatically provide meaning.
That realization ultimately changed Nathan’s direction.
Today, his mission goes far beyond business or making money: he wants to positively impact 100,000 people.
Nathan explains why helping others became such an important part of his life and how even small acts of kindness, empathy, encouragement, and genuine human connection can create a ripple effect far beyond the person you initially help.
Chris, Mike, and Nathan also explore an uncomfortable side of success that doesn’t get discussed enough—the loneliness that can accompany achievement. People can appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with questions about identity, happiness, relationships, and what comes next.
And helping someone doesn’t always require writing a check or solving their problems. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is see the person who feels invisible.
This conversation challenges the traditional definition of success and asks a bigger question:
If you've built the business, made the money, and reached the goal—but haven't found your purpose—have you really arrived?
Nathan Olson’s story is a reminder that success can change your circumstances, but purpose can change your life.
