Episode Description:In this episode of The Former Reality Podcast, we sit down with Nate — a former Story Producer who traded post-production timelines for financial planning spreadsheets. After years crafting narratives for HGTV and Food Network, Nate discovered his storytelling and communication skills could help people shape a different kind of story: the future of their money.Nate walks us through his pivot from unscripted television to becoming a licensed financial advisor — from studying for certifications to building a client list from scratch, to adjusting from predictable weekly rates to a commission-based model. We talk about the structure of his new day-to-day, the realities of starting over in a regulated industry, and the personal and professional lessons he’s learned along the way.He shares what motivated him to finally leave production, how his media skillset still shows up in his new career, and the advice he wishes all creatives knew about their finances — long before they ever think about a pivot.Whether you’re curious about financial advising, exploring a career transition, or just want to understand how your production skills can transfer outside the industry, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and a new way to see your own narrative. Tune in to hear how Nate built his “New Reality,” one informed decision at a time.Resources: Resume writing, Financial Planning Professional training, Work with Nate on your own Financial Planning
