Listen "#89 - Nathan Graham: Born with One Arm, Mindset & Overcoming Adversity "
Episode Synopsis
Nathan Graham, also known as the One Arm Legend joins us today. Nathan is the owner of the car group Underground Kings and a passionate gym enthusiast. His resilience and positive attitude have made him a figure many look up to and admire. During the episode, Nathan discusses his approach to overcoming adversity, the importance of setting goals and maintaining a strong mindset, how he builds meaningful relationships, and his love for cars and sports. Nathan’s journey serves as an inspiration to those seeking to overcome challenges and thrive.
Nathan Graham doesn’t consider himself extraordinary despite his accomplishments. He describes himself as someone who loves sports, cars, and spending time with friends. In addition to working a regular 9-5 job, Nathan also helps a friend with a pool table business, refurbishing and moving pool tables. His passion for cars led him to co-found the car group Underground Kings, where he and a group of friends share their love for vehicles. Despite his busy schedule, Nathan finds time to work out regularly, constantly pushing himself to improve both physically and mentally.
Nathan attributes his ability to overcome challenges to acceptance. Being born with one arm, he realized early on that ignoring or fighting this reality would only hold him back. Instead, he embraced it, viewing adversity as something to confront head-on. Setting goals has played a critical role in his journey, but Nathan emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process rather than the end result. He believes that it’s during the toughest days that true growth happens, whether in life or at the gym. For him, consistency is key, and maintaining a strong mindset in the face of adversity is essential to achieving long-term success.
For Nathan, building strong relationships, whether in his personal life or through his car group, Underground Kings, is based on shared values and passions. He believes that genuine connections are formed when people come together to pursue a common goal. In the car group, for example, members bond over their love for cars and their commitment to helping each other grow within the hobby. Nathan credits much of his personal success to the supportive network of friends and family who have always stood by him. He highlights the importance of social support, noting that everyone, no matter how independent, will eventually need a community to rely on during challenging times.
Nathan’s passion for cars, much like his love for sports, is rooted in the concept of teamwork. Co-founding Underground Kings provided him with a sense of belonging and introduced him to a diverse group of people who share his enthusiasm for vehicles. He draws parallels between sports and cars, particularly in how both require collaboration, strategy, and a commitment to performance. One of Nathan’s most cherished memories is achieving a long-held goal of driving his dream car to the mountains after years of hard work and saving. For him, moments like these represent the fulfillment of his efforts, whether in the gym or with cars, and continue to fuel his drive for success.
