#44 Stephen Mitchell - From Fitness to Finance

In this week's episode of the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th, we talk with Steve Mitchell, founder and CEO of Nexus Advisory. Steve is one of the founding members of Emajin Golf and has been an integral part of our community from the early days.  Steve shares his journey from the fitness industry to the world of finance and how golf has played a key role in growing his business and expanding his network. Steve started his career studying economics and quickly developed a passion for sales, co-founding Enjoy Health and Fitness Gym in 2012. Through his time in the gym, he learned valuable lessons that would guide his next steps. While managing the gym, Steve launched several startups, eventually leading him to the finance industry. He shares the tough lessons he learned, including running out of money, which forced him to pivot into the car industry. There, he honed his skills in brokerage and learned the importance of scaling a business. In 2017, Steve discovered golf, which has been instrumental in expanding his network and growing Nexus Advisory. Now in its 7th year, Nexus continues to thrive, with plans to explore opportunities in private lending and credit markets. Steve's dream is to play the top 100 golf courses in Australia. He shares his four-ball wish and discusses how golf is not just a sport but a valuable way to connect with others. Key takeaway: Understanding your industry is crucial. For Steve, it's about putting clients in better positions through knowledge. It's vital to understand how your business and industry work and to tailor your solutions accordingly.
