EPISODE 1.5 — Dr. Byron Nelson: Becoming the Myth

In this deeply inspiring re-uploaded episode, Mailon sits down with Dr. Byron Nelson — a self-made multimillionaire, educator, and servant leader — for a conversation that moves from childhood wonder to financial empowerment, and from personal mythmaking to the real currency of human relationships.

Together they explore:

What The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, and The Greatest Showman teach us about self-beliefThe journey of “becoming the myth” — shaping your own legendThe importance of financial literacy and how wealth is createdHuman equity, purpose-driven success, and what it means to serve othersThe true definition of Relationship Currency — and why it might be more valuable than money

For over two decades, Byron has dedicated his life to helping others achieve freedom and abundance. He has mentored thousands worldwide, played a role in creating over 100 new millionaires, personally paid for 200 students to attend college, and continues to champion the message that finishing what you start is the foundation of legacy.
