Get ready for an incredibly powerful conversation with Nicky Billou, a man whose life story is a testament to the transformative power of freedom and courage.
This episode of Thrive After 45™ is a deep dive into how he went from literally having a Molotov cocktail thrown into his living room in Iran as a child to becoming a two-time New York Times bestselling author and what he calls a "millionaire maker."

Nicky's journey as an immigrant, combined with personal trials like divorce, fueled his drive to help entrepreneurs break free from limitation and chase their vision.
He saw the vibrant freedom in his new home, Canada, and dedicated his life to helping those at the forefront of free enterprise: the entrepreneurs.
His vision is to create a billion multimillionaires by 2040 to build a global constituency for freedom. Seriously, how amazing is that?

What Nicky does better than almost anyone is act as a professional encourager and believer in people. We talk about the one thing that can make or break an entrepreneur - self-belief - and why having that one person in your corner makes all the difference.

We also get into some real-life talk about dealing with external opinions and fears that try to hold you back.../even from the people you love.
Nicky shares an awesome personal example of pushing back on well-meaning but limiting advice to pursue his dream of a professional bodybuilding card at 58.
His advice is clear: don't let anyone steal your damn dream away.

To wrap up, Nicky tells an unforgettable story about a client who signed up for his program after being kicked out of her own company. You’ll hear how his support didn't just transform her business...it literally saved her family. It's an emotional, stunning moment that shows why the work he does goes far beyond just business coaching.

If you're an entrepreneur who feels stuck, a woman in midlife with a burning idea, or just someone who needs a shot of pure, unadulterated belief, this episode will fire you up and remind you of your own capacity to rise.
