The Empire She Was Never Supposed to Create - Maeli Nelson | Ep157

<p>&quot;It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.&quot; – Sir Edmund Hillary</p><p> </p><p>In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Maeli Nelson — real estate investor, speaker, founder of Creating Her Empire, and one of the most compelling origin stories they&#39;ve ever had the privilege of sharing on this show.</p><p>Maeli was raised inside a secluded FLDS religious community. She had no formal education. She learned to read and write later in life. And at around 12 years old, she and her mother walked away from everything they had ever known — with nowhere to go and nothing to fall back on. They slept outside. They started from zero in every sense of the word.</p><p>That&#39;s where most people&#39;s story would end. For Maeli, it&#39;s where hers began.</p><p>Today she is a multi-million dollar real estate investor with a portfolio that spans the country, a sought after speaker and mentor, the founder of Creating Her Empire, co-creator of the First Flip Challenge, and co-founder of the Investor&#39;s Secret Network — a community built to help everyday people step into real estate ownership and build generational wealth. She has helped hundreds of people leave their day jobs and create a life they actually designed on purpose.</p><p>Logan and Tyson dig into all of it — the escape, the rebuilding, the mindset it takes to go from dirt to empire, and what Maeli now teaches others about wealth, business, and believing that where you started has nothing to do with where you can end up.</p><p>This is one of those episodes that reminds you that the most powerful thing a person can do is refuse to let their past write their future.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>ABOUT THE SHOW:</p><p>Dad Bods &amp; Beards is the podcast where real men talk about mental health, personal growth, and the mindset it takes to build a life you’re proud of.
