The Journey with Clayton Nelson

In this episode, I share what I call the “Red Bottoms Method” — the idea that when things get hard, you stop focusing on yourself and start supporting others.I talk about how this mindset was inspired by a girl on our sales team who had the biggest support at our marathon because she’s always the first person supporting everyone else. It’s also the same mindset that helped me finish my Ironman.I also give a life update from my first summer doing door-to-door sales to where I am now, and share the story of an 18-year-old rookie who had the courage to role play in front of the entire team on day one. You can teach a script, but you can’t teach courage.This episode is about growth, support, and putting yourself in situations that force you to become better.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

Two Aprils ago, I met Doug Cartwright on a retreat — and that moment changed the direction of my life.In this episode, I’m a guest on Doug’s podcast, sharing the full story of how I got introduced to door-to-door sales… and how it completely transformed who I am.After meeting Doug, he connected me with Zack Anderson — and just two and a half weeks later, I was on a flight to Illinois. I didn’t know the people. I didn’t know the product. But I had a vision for something bigger.We talk about:Taking a leap before you feel readyBuilding confidence through uncomfortable actionHow door-to-door shaped my identity, discipline, and beliefThe power of getting around the right people at the right timeThis episode is really about what can happen when you say yes to an opportunity — even when it doesn’t make sense yet.If you’re in a season where you know you’re capable of more, this one will push you to move.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

One year ago, Caleb Moller sat down with me for a podcast. Since then, a lot has changed.In the last 12 months, we’ve:Run a 100-mile raceFull summer of door-to-door salesStarted training for an IronmanAnd watched Caleb go from completely anti-social media… to posting five times a dayHosting our own marathonIn this episode, we break down what actually shifted.We talk about:The unexpected lesson he learned from running 100 milesWhat pushing your body to the edge teaches you about your mindHis honest relationship with social media — and why he decided to lean inThe internal voices that drive him (and how he manages that relationship)Finding self truth and how we are striving to be more conscious humans. This isn’t a surface-level conversation about posting more content or training harder.

Three years ago at Running Man, I met Jeremy St. Onge. I didn’t know it at the time, but that friendship would change the trajectory of my life.Jeremy is the reason I ran my first 100-mile race. He coached me through it, served as my crew chief, and believed in me before I fully believed in myself. In this episode, we talk about:How Jeremy got into runningHow running built his self-confidenceThe power of starting smallWhy consistency compounds into something monumentalHow endurance sports translate into success in any area of lifeIf you’ve ever doubted yourself or felt overwhelmed starting something new — this episode will show you what’s possible when you commit and stay consistent.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

When we recorded this, the intention wasn’t content—it was perspective. This was a conversation we wanted to save for ourselves, something to listen back to years from now and remember who we were in this season of life.We talk honestly about the life experiences that shaped us, the moments that forced growth, and the paths that led us to where we are today. We also reflect on what we think our older selves would say to us—what advice they’d give, what they’d warn us about, and what they’d remind us not to forget.This episode is raw, reflective, and deeply personal. If you’re in a season of building, questioning, or becoming—this conversation might hit closer than expected.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I sit down with Mason Woodward—someone I’ve been connected with online for over two years. We finally met in person, and the timing couldn’t have been better.We talk about how door-to-door sales became our version of sports, why competition and discipline translate so well from athletics to sales, and how social media played a massive role in creating opportunities before we ever met face-to-face.This conversation dives into our D2D journeys, the lessons learned along the way, and our shared vision to build a team that helps athletes develop confidence, master sales, and create financial freedom.If you’re an athlete, competitor, or someone who believes growth happens when you surround yourself with the right people—this one’s for you.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

We dive into how they’ve built that culture, where their energy comes from, and how they’ve turned their passion into a movement.We also talk about their viral project, “Not a Thrift Store,” the thrift bus that turned into a tour and brought out massive crowds of strangers who connected through their energy and authenticity.This episode is all about leadership, culture, and living a life full of adventure and purpose.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

This episode is all about the biggest lesson I learned from running 100 miles — and it’s not about running.It’s about people.This race would’ve been completely different if I did it alone. Training with Caleb every day for seven months, having my mom, my sister, Jeremy, and our families there to support us — that’s what made this experience what it was.At mile 50, I hit my wall. I didn’t want to go any further. And that’s when Jeremy jumped in and ran 12 miles with me. Those miles changed everything. That moment reminded me why having the right people around you matters so much.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I reflect on my experience at Running Man just a week ago. This was my third time going, and every single time I walk away with the same reminder: proximity is power.I share why events like this are so powerful for me and how they’ve shown me the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. For example, when I tell most people I’m running a 100-mile race, they think it’s insane. But at Running Man, it’s normal—the standard. Instead of calling me crazy, people gave me advice on how to do it better.That’s the power of proximity. Mentors make it real.Right now, I feel like I have so much untapped potential inside me. I don’t have complete clarity on my life’s exact path yet—but I know my job isn’t to have it all figured out. My job is to keep moving in the direction of the person I want to become, to take action, and to learn from mentors who are already doing it at a high level.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I’m sitting above the Running Man festival, my third year in a row being here. Every single time I come, it changes my life.I talk about why these events mean so much to me, the power of the friendships and relationships I’ve built here, and how being around the right energy has completely shifted my perspective.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I open up about the dilemma I’ve been wrestling with: What path should I fully commit to right now? I talk through the questions I’ve been asking myself—Who am I trying to become? What mission am I really here to pursue?This is a raw, honest conversation about seeking clarity, choosing direction, and trusting the process while still figuring it out. If you’ve ever felt pulled between different paths or questioned what your life’s mission truly is, this episode will resonate with you.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

This week, I reflect on my summer as it comes to an end. I set a huge sales goal—and I didn’t even come close. But instead of seeing it as a failure, I share why I believe it was still a success.I talk about how I’m processing the gap between expectation and reality, and why I don’t owe my past self an apology or need to feel sorry for myself. What I do owe is my future self a chance. There’s too much at stake to sit in self-pity.In this episode, I break down why being consistently good is more powerful than being occasionally great, why I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be (but not supposed to stay here), and how I’m going to reach the next level.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I share one of my favorite parts about the work I do: the people I get to meet. Every day I cross paths with people at different stages of life, and those conversations often teach me lessons I’ll carry forever. Recently, an older couple shared something simple but powerful with me—“life is worth enjoying.”That advice stuck with me, and in this episode I talk about what it means in my own journey. I reflect on where I’m at right now, the season I’m in, and how I’m learning to slow down, take it in, and truly enjoy the ride.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

This week, I had a conversation that hit deep—someone asked me, “How do I know if I’m in the right spot in life?”They were constantly looking for other people’s approval to feel like they were on the right path. I’ve been there, but I’ve learned to have blind faith in my mission—without needing anyone else to tell me I’m doing the right thing.In this episode, I share how I keep my confidence and trust the bigger picture, even when what I’m doing now isn’t my ultimate goal. We talk about why you can only connect the dots looking back, and why the only way to get there is to finish the dot you’re on right now.If you’ve ever questioned where you are or needed encouragement to keep going, this one’s for you.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I talk about the power of pushing through—resting at the end, not in the middle.Life has been non-stop lately, with little sleep and barely any downtime. But instead of feeling drained, I’ve been more energized and alive than ever. I share why I’ve been loving the grind, what’s fueling me to keep going, and how you can tap into that same drive when life gets crazy.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

In this episode, I talk about the power of words—and how what you say out loud can shape how you think, feel, and show up every day. I reflect on a story Jesse Itzler shared about running a 100-mile race, and how his self-talk carried him through the darkest moments.I also share how one of the most impactful mentors in my life, Coach Old May, used to tell me, “We don’t have time for bad days.” That mindset stuck with me—and I believe it’s one of the reasons I’m such a joyful and grounded person today.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

The last two weeks? Brutal. My car group bageled—zero deals and no money made- but somehow, our energy never dipped. We stayed locked in, encouraged each other, and kept pressing forward with faith that something would eventually break our way. And it did.In this episode, I share the story of what happened, how we pushed through it, and why I believe struggle is where the real growth happens. It’s okay to have bad days or even bad weeks—but bend, don’t break.

Last week was my PR week, so we came into this week with momentum. Monday started with a same-day close on the first door and another one that night for Jordan. I ended the week with four, including another same-day close on Saturday.But during that last close… something hit me.Even though I care so much about hitting my goals, I realized how small my problems really are. I get to do what I love, with people I care about, and I live a life I’m proud of.

Last week was one of the toughest weeks I've had since starting this job. My words said one thing—but my actions told a different story. But something clicked this past week. This was a PR week for me. In this episode, I break down exactly what changed and why I went from feeling stuck to getting results. I also share the message I gave my team—about excuses, ownership, and doing what it takes. The truth is: your excuse might be valid… but no one cares.

This week, I opened up to the team about something that’s held me back my entire life: self-confidence. I share a story about my football career, the ride home from my last game, and the sick feeling of knowing I never fully believed in myself.Ran into a friend from college couple weeks back and he asked me why I’m not scared to do what I’m doing now. I thought back to a conversation I had with my dad just a week before, when he told me his biggest regret: not taking more risks when he was young. That hit me hard.In this episode, I talk about how that moment shifted my perspective and why I refuse to make the same mistake. I’ve already made the hard choice to bet on myself—so why waste energy doubting now? We don’t have time to not believe in ourselves. If you’ve ever held back because of fear or doubt, this one’s for you.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

I talk about two big lessons I learned recently—one about chasing goals, and one about leadership.I write my top ten goals every day, and this week I actually achieved one. But when it happened, it didn’t feel how I thought it would. That moment taught me a lot about timing, surrender, and why sometimes you’ve got to let things happen in God’s timing—not force them.The second lesson came from leading my car group this summer. I’ve been realizing just how powerful responsibility and accountability really are and how it's been impacting me. If I want to lead others well, I’ve got to show up better myself and I share how i'm going to do that. Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

Coming into this summer feels completely different. Last year, I was the rookie questioning everything: Is this for me? How am I going to figure this out? Now, I know what to expect.

After two strong weeks, I came into this one expecting momentum — but instead, I bagelled all week. No sales. No wins. It got to the point where my closer had to come knock with me to see what was going on. But late Friday night, everything flipped. Last door of the day: same-day close. First door Saturday morning: same-day close. Then another later that day.This episode is about believing in your inputs even when the results aren’t showing up yet.

I was coming off back-to-back PRs and had everything lined up for another big week. But sometimes the bounce doesn’t go your way.

This episode is part of my ROOKIE SUMMER series — a recap from my first summer knocking doors, recorded in real time.Week 6 was my best week yet—a personal record. I was locked in, leading the office going into Saturday, and for a moment, it felt like I had it in the bag. But then Chaz, our top athlete all summer, did something that changed the way I look at competition. At 10pm, after being picked up from area, he knocked a few more doors… and closed one to beat me by a single deal. In this episode, I share how that moment taught me a hard truth: there are people out there who want what you want—and they’re willing to do what you aren’t.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson

I was putting in the work and finally starting to see glimpses of progress. But one tough day nearly knocked me off track—until a friend gave me advice that shifted everything.

This episode is part of my ROOKIE SUMMER series — a recap from my first summer knocking doors, recorded in real time last year.This week was another tough one. Hit all my input goals, but still saw no results. No sales. No wins. Just a long walk in the rain to a gas station while my phone was dying and my car group leader was in a deal.

This episode is part of my ROOKIE SUMMER series — a recap from my first summer knocking doors, recorded in real time last year.Week 3 was my first bagel week. I gave it everything and still came up with nothing. No sales. Just frustration. I wasn’t mad at the world—I was frustrated with myself. I knew I had the potential to be great at this, but I hadn’t put in enough reps yet to see it show. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who you know you could be, this one’s for you.Direct Message Me: (DM is always open!)Instagram: Claytonnelson_Twiter: Clayton_Nelson5TikTok: Clayton_NelsonYouTube: ClaytonNelson
