Lead 2027 · 10 people · 20 weeks
Leadership isn’t a performance. It’s a practice.
Lead 2027 before it leads you. A small room for adults who are done looking finished and ready to lead the year on purpose.
Every other Thursday at 8:00 p.m. · January 14 to May 20, 2027
You can win the year and still be led by it.
The calendar fills. The family needs you. The work rewards the version of you that performs well. And somewhere in February you notice you are reacting again. Competent, tired, and not actually leading.
Forge Your Path is the room where that stops being a private complaint. Twenty weeks. Ten group sessions, every other Thursday, and self-scheduled 1:1s with Nate, 30 to 40 minutes, in the weeks between. Ten people. No audience. You find your why, then build it into how you live. The work is to know yourself, build yourself, and serve from that, at home, at work, and in the decisions no one claps for.
Every other Thursday
Not a class. A practice.
You’re not trying to perform something here. You’re trying to practice.
Know yourself
Name what you are actually leading.
Not the résumé. Not the version people applaud. The standard you want to live when the year gets loud.
Build yourself
Make it hold on a full week.
One practice at a time. Brought back to the room. Adjusted when life does what life does. The identity holds the goal. We will make room for a real reason. We will not make the group optional.
Serve
Lead the people who already have you.
Marriage. Parenting. The team. The quiet call. Highest contribution is not a bigger stage. It is the life in front of you, led on purpose.
The story
Successful on the outside. Stuck on the inside. I know, because I lived it.
I rode my first 50-mile endurance ride at seven years old. By 2013 I was riding the national championship 100-miler and finished 9th overall. I knew how to push, how to finish, and how to win.
From the outside, my life looked full. Inside, it felt empty.
What I learned is that a full life and a fulfilled life are not the same thing. Fulfillment starts inside: what I do, how I see myself, how I talk to myself, and the opinion I hold of who I am. All of that shapes the lens I see the world through and what I focus on.
So I went on a journey. I became a leadership coach and took my endurance mindset to the next level. Not in miles, but in becoming.
Most of my training runs for Temple to Temple were after dark, in below-freezing weather. One night I finished at 2:00 in the morning. I wasn’t out there because of burnout. I was there because it was time to do what I said I was going to do.
That’s what becoming looks like. It still takes grit, but this time the work starts from within.
Now Charly and I are building a community of people committed to becoming their best selves, so they can lead the people around them more fully. We do it through Forge Your Path, horsemanship, and the Temple to Temple race. You don’t have to perform. You get to become.
Who it is for
Adults with a real life already in motion.
You lead something. A family. A team. A business. You are past collecting advice. You want a standard you can keep when no one is watching.
It is not a webinar, a content library, or a place to be inspired for an hour and leave unchanged. If you need a bigger audience, this is the wrong room.
What to expect
Ten group sessions, every other Thursday at 8:00 p.m., from January 14 to May 20, 2027: January 14, January 28, February 11, February 25, March 11, March 25, April 8, April 22, May 6, and May 20. Each call is one hour to an hour and a half.
The first and last sessions are in person. Details are shared once the group is set.
Self-scheduled 1:1 calls with Nate in the weeks between group sessions, 30 to 40 minutes each. Twenty weeks in all. Ten people.
All sessions are recorded, so if you miss one, you can review it.
Nate sends a weekly update and focus. Each cohort has a group text thread for support between sessions.
A fall cohort also starts June 17 and builds toward the Temple to Temple Marathon on September 25, 2027.
Fill out the interest form. Nate personally reaches out. Acceptance happens on a call with Nate, and if it is a fit, he sends the next step.
There is no official close date. Nate adds people until a few days before the first session.
The investment is shared on that call. It is not listed here. Payment plans are available and discussed on the call.
If you are not satisfied, you do not pay.
I’m InterestedNot open enrollment. Nate reaches out after you share interest.
Your group coach
Nathan Bradley
Nathan leads the room. He and Charly are endurance athletes. He is a Certified John C. Maxwell Leadership Coach, trained beside the people who do this work at the highest level. The same standard shows up with a horse and on a long trail: you cannot perform your way through it. Charly holds a degree in psychology and is an ultra runner. The company is theirs. The group is his to coach.
He can hold a large room. Forge Your Path is the opposite of this one. Ten people. Every other Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
From the first group
What the first group said.
“I can accept where I’m at right now and that I can find fulfillment in where I’m at right now and that being where I’m at right now is great and it is good.”
Aspen, Forge Your Path 2026“My mission is I show up.”
KerrieLynn, Forge Your Path 2026“I can let everyone that I’m providing for know that they all have a seat on the bus that I’m driving, but that I am going to choose the direction that I’m driving.”
