They Call Me Mista Yu

Nick shares his journey from military kid to service member to faith-based coach, revealing how global experiences shaped his view that people matter above all else.

• Growing up as a military dependent, moving internationally and gaining appreciation for diverse cultures
• Formative childhood experience in Peru witnessing extreme poverty that taught him to count his blessings
• Military service triggered by 9/11, serving 11 years active duty including combat deployments
• Distinguishing between healthy patriotism at its core versus misuse for personal gain
• Post-military identity struggles and finding new purpose through faith and community
• Difference between isolation (running from pain) and solitude (purposeful reflection)
• Importance of community for veterans and all men facing life transitions
• Brain health coaching approach that addresses physical brain health alongside mental wellness
• Encouragement for veterans to pursue VA benefits despite tedious processes
• Finding purpose through helping others and building meaningful connections
