Nomad CEO Podcast

In this episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I sit down with mindset & leadership coach, Gab Roux, a dear friend I met at a fitness retreat in the Maldives. Gab is one of Australia's top leadership coaches for 2025 & the founder of The Human Strategist. She shares her journey from senior leadership roles into coaching, shaped by childhood bullying, major life transitions, & walking away from environments that no longer aligned with her values. We talk about what real leadership actually requires: meeting people where they are, fostering growth from the inside out, & leading with clarity rather than control. Gab breaks down powerful NLP insights, how language shapes outcomes, why frustration with others is often a mirror, & how curiosity & presence transform communication. This episode is about self-awareness, conscious leadership, & building a grounded, human, & real confidence.   Connect with Gab Roux!

In this episode of The Nomad CEO Podcast, I share my most vulnerable story yet—my 10-year journey through multiple addictions to find freedom, purpose & connection. I fought for months before sharing this because I was afraid of what people would think, but the potential to impact even one person outweighed that fear. We cover: The vision behind World Changers & the principle that to change the world, we must first change ourselves My battles with food, alcohol, sex, pornography, fantasizing & overspending How recovery involved faith, counseling, conferences & surrounding myself with people who believed in me unconditionally The Cherokee story of the two wolves & the guiding principle of feeding the good wolf Finding peace, freedom & a sense of responsibility to help others through my story This episode is about overcoming shame, embracing vulnerability & realizing that no matter your past, you can choose the life you want.   Enjoying the conversation?Stay connected & join the movement: 📍 Follow Kens (Host) IG: https://www.instagram.com/nomad_ceo_/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mckensie-stanton-765299325 🌍 World Changers: https://www.instagram.com/worldchangers.me/ ⚡ Elite Edge: https://www.instagram.com/elite_edge___/  📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586444813911    🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube

In this episode of The Nomad CEO Podcast, I get real about the top three things I royally sucked at in 2025 & how working through them helped me grow as a nomad, CEO & human. Even though I am literally living my dream of traveling full-time & working for myself, the journey is still a fight. My goal is not just success, it is impact. Success will impress people, but failure truly impacts them, & I want to share the lessons from mine. The three things I struggled with most last year Regulating My Nervous System 2025 felt like an instant pot of stress. Panic attacks, anxiety & restlessness showed me my old coping tools were not enough. Somatic breathwork taught me how to reconnect with my body & make nervous system regulation non-negotiable. I am still learning, but I have come a long way. Budgeting I have tracked my finances for years, but building a business on inconsistent income pushed me out of my habits. Big projects, retreats & nomad life expenses added up fast. The first three months as a nomad were spent in a low-cost area to course-correct, and I learned how critical it is to balance personal finances with business growth. Marketing My Message As the founder of World Changers, I am in the bottle, seeing every detail & vision. Explaining it clearly to others, the label outside the bottle, has been a challenge. Last year it felt overwhelming, but with guidance, clarity, & support, I have made progress, & I am still growing. These struggles shaped my mindset, my leadership & my ability to create meaningful impact globally.   Enjoying the conversation?Stay connected & join the movement: 📍 Follow Kens (Host) IG: https://www.instagram.com/nomad_ceo_/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mckensie-stanton-765299325 🌍 World Changers: https://www.instagram.com/worldchangers.me/ ⚡ Elite Edge: https://www.instagram.com/elite_edge___/  📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586444813911    🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube

In this first episode of The Nomad CEO Podcast, I share the real story behind how I became both a nomad & a CEO. I talk about where my dream of traveling the world began, how a one-way ticket after college expanded my vision, and why seeing business through a global lens changed the way I think about impact, leadership, & possibility. I open up about the decade I spent building a business in the US, the quiet tension between stability & calling, and the mindset shift that changed everything when my life was flipped upside down. This episode dives into radical ownership, letting go of victimhood, and choosing purpose even when the path feels uncertain. I also share the moment I knew it was time to step fully into the nomad life, the grief that came with it, and the clarity that confirmed I was being called to lead on a bigger scale. This episode is about trusting the process, honoring the long road, and believing that what you’ve been preparing for is already preparing you.   Enjoying the conversation?Stay connected & join the movement: 📍 Follow Kens (Host) IG: https://www.instagram.com/nomad_ceo_/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mckensie-stanton-765299325 🌍 World Changers: https://www.instagram.com/worldchangers.me/ ⚡ Elite Edge: https://www.instagram.com/elite_edge___/  📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586444813911    🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, & YouTube

I’m a former collegiate athlete, an Elite Edge transformational health & performance coach, the CEO & Founder of World Changers, & a global nomad who’s traveled to nearly 40 countries. But this podcast isn’t about titles or highlight reels. It’s about the parts no one talks about. The breakdowns. The doubt. The failures. The rebuilding. After training over a thousand clients & walking through eating disorders, debt, divorce, addiction, & burnout, I’ve learned that real growth begins when we stop hiding our weaknesses & start owning them just as boldly as our strengths.
