Introducing the Ryan and Nate Business Podcast!
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Wednesday Jan 18, 2023
Why start another podcast? The short answer is that compelling stories can change the world; those stories are best told in conversations, not in soundbites. In this first episode, Ryan and Nate talk about what they've been doing, why they teamed up to help other businesses, and why it led them to start this podcast. Will it stay local? We don't know, but we plan to start in our backyard.

Who's Ryan Grimes?
I've created a healthy, profitable, thriving, multi-million dollar business in what some call a short period of time. I vow to put my God, wife, and children first. I won't miss a soccer game, a dance recital, or a parent-teacher conference. I won't allow my business to own me, I own my business, and that’s what I want for you. It wasn’t an easy journey for me, I sure didn’t know anything when I got started but I always have the mindset of, we can figure this out, or as my dad would say: there are many ways to dig a hole. I’ve created something to be proud of and that’s what we’re going to do for you. If you saw my resume, it would include a college degree, many sales courses from renowned and famous salespeople, 4 master technician licenses, an MHIC license, 2 patents, and two successful, profitable businesses. To me, nothing on my resume is important, it’s important to me that I have quality time with my family, my friends, and the men whom I pour into, and the ones that pour into me.
Who's Nate Wigley?
Hi! I'm Nate. I love building relationships based on trust, and I enjoy solving problems and creating systems that help teams be more efficient. This podcast is all about business and work, but to be honest, the most important titles in my life are husband, father, and friend. I am a lifelong learner, and I've strived to honor God with my family, business, and ministry by encouraging people to be their best while I've pushed to be my best.
When I'm not working, I'm in the wilderness on roads less traveled with my family and friends, riding mountain bikes or backpacking. I honestly feel more at home in the woods than anywhere else. And I love whisking my bride away on weekend adventures as frequently as possible!
I studied business and biblical studies in college and after getting married I helped run the family’s independent automotive repair business, growing it every year. I carry all of the automotive certifications that you can have, and I spent many years happily “turning wrenches” as a technician.
