Gearbox Podcast

Nate Winston returns to the podcast one year after a dramatic business split — and he’s not the same guy. In this raw and reflective conversation, Nate opens up about the emotional toll of walking away from a 20-year friendship and 16-year partnership, the legal chaos that followed, and how he's found peace building his own shop from the ground up. From implementing Profit First to sandblasting therapy in the Rust Belt, Nate shares the lessons that helped him regain control, find happiness, and say no thanks to hiring. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, or betrayed in business — this one hits deep.
