Quitting a 17-Year Corporate Career to Launch a Brand: Natia Ramishvili on Rebuilding From Zero

In this episode of Founder2Founder, Aaron Spivak sits down with Natia Ramishvili, entrepreneur, empowerment coach, and founder of NR Active. Born in the country of Georgia, Natia immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager and built a thriving 17-year career in finance, ultimately overseeing more than 1,000 employees. But after experiencing deep personal loss, a divorce, and a powerful shift in purpose, she left her executive role, moved to Miami, and launched a brand rooted in authenticity and empowerment.Natia shares how the pain of losing her parents shaped her drive, what it really took to walk away from stability, and how she’s now helping women reconnect with their strength through fashion, mindset, and community. She opens up about creating NR Active, building a fearless brand from scratch, and why confidence is something you create, not something you wait to find. From single motherhood to brand building, Natia’s story is a testament to resilience, intentional living, and owning your worth.Chapters​​02:17 – Losing Both Parents and Finding New Purpose04:22 – Dreaming Bigger at Macy’s and Building a Career in Finance05:48 – The Role of Authenticity in Rebuilding a Life06:36 – Defining Fearlessness Through Action07:40 – The Catalyst: Losing Her Mother to Cancer09:55 – Leaving Marriage and Career to Start Fresh10:55 – Embracing the Unknown and Trusting Intuition12:09 – From People Pleasing to Self-Prioritization13:33 – Funding NR Active with Her Life Savings14:32 – “Burn the Boats” and Commit All In16:25 – Building a Brand With Vision and Discipline18:57 – Why Chemical-Free Activewear Matters20:42 – The Message Behind the Apparel: Wear Your Strength22:45 – The Birth of Born For More Coaching25:49 – The Reality of Doing It All as a Single Mom27:44 – Staying Grounded With Routine and Self-Work28:21 – Book Recommendations That Changed Her Thinking29:45 – A Lesson From Her Parents: You Can Do Anything31:18 – Overcoming Doubt With Relentless Action33:13 – Being Called “Crazy” for Choosing Reinvention36:32 – The Truth About Rejection and Redirection38:53 – The Power of a Supportive Partner|39:58 – The Long-Term Vision for NR Active42:19 – Money Buys Freedom, Not Fulfillment47:05 – Advice for Single Mothers Building a Business49:18 – What She’d Tell Her 5-Year-Old SelfGuest Links:Website: www.nractivewear.comInstagram: @nractivefounder https://wikigenius.org/wiki/Natia_RamishviliThe Founders Club: The premier community for founders pursuing excellence in the mind, body, and business.If you're a founder doing $1MM+ in annual revenue, apply for the Founders Club today: https://go.foundersclubofficial.com/intro-fc-aaronStay Connected!Aaron Spivak:IG: @‌SpivakLinkedinThe Founders ClubIG: @‌TheFoundersClubWebsite www.foundersclubofficial.com Founder2Founder:TikTok @‌Founder2FounderPodcastYoutube @‌Founder2Founder.Podcast
