#262 Nathan Moss — What Nobody Tells You About Your 20s & the Book He Wrote When He Couldn't Find the Answers
This week I sat down with Nathan Moss, known as Uncle Nathan, and this one is going to hit close to home for a lot of people in their 20s.
Nathan spent a good chunk of his twenties doing what a lot of us do — feeling a bit lost, a bit unfulfilled, and not really sure why. So he did what made sense. He packed up, moved to Bali and set out to build the dream life. And from the outside it looked great. But on the inside, something still wasn't right.
So he came home. And then he did something about it — he wrote a book.
Sort of OK, Sort of Not is Nathan's self-published debut, and it is exactly the kind of honest, unpretentious conversation about life in your twenties that most people are desperate for but rarely find. It's a book for people who are figuring it out and tired of pretending they already have.
We talk about what it really felt like to chase a dream life and feel nothing, what moving back to Australia taught him, why he decided to write and self-publish rather than wait for permission, and what he hopes people take from the book.
Nathan is warm, self-aware and refreshingly honest. This one is for anyone who has ever felt sort of ok, and sort of not.
