EP 643: Nate Illingsworth

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Nate Illingsworth, a man on a remarkable weight loss journey intertwined with rediscovering his passion for hunting. Nate’s story began with a love for hunting in his youth, but his career in door-to-door sales pulled him away from his outdoor pursuits. Rediscovering hunting through archery reignited Nate’s drive, inspiring him to embark on a mission to achieve the best shape of his life.

Nate’s journey isn’t just about physical transformation; it’s marked by his infectious wit, self-deprecating humor, and a relentlessly positive outlook that’s made him a social media sensation. In this episode, we delve into Nate’s personal goals, the challenges he’s faced, and his dreams for the future. He candidly shares how he’s pushing boundaries, including his audacious decision to enter an ultra marathon despite starting at nearly 300 pounds and lacking fitness for such an event.

Nate’s story is a testament to embracing your uniqueness, putting yourself out there, and trusting in the journey. Join us as we explore Nate’s inspiring path and how he plans to continue chasing his dreams moving forward.
