A pretty warm winter. It’s been the warmest winter. We usually have like crazy blizzards by now. We would have had two or three by now. We haven’t gotten anything.

SPEAKER 05 : 1:27

But check this out, man. we gonna have some special guests on the show today uh people that are doing big things now you know this is the show uh to let you know what’s happening in the streets and from the bottom to the middle to the top you know i have friends in high places middle places and low places and And you know this show is about bringing people together. We have to sit down and have conversation and dialogue with people who don’t agree with us and with people who do agree with what we’re doing. Like for instance, Luke and I are great. We work together great. Good friends. And he has things that he agrees upon and I have things that I do. But guess what? We on the same team. And I believe that’s the only way that we can bring America back. But there’s people out there that’s doing major things, big things. And so we’re going to start off. Oh, my God. The phone. I think he’s on the phone right now. Hey, Luke, is that Nick? Nick, are you there? Yes, I am here. What’s up, buddy? How we doing, brother? Good, good.

SPEAKER 02 : 3:01

Where you at, man? What state? Where you at? I’m in South Dakota right now. I just got back from Washington, and it’s going to be 60 degrees here today, so it’s a heat wave.

SPEAKER 05 : 3:16

60. Wow. Now in South Dakota, if I’m not mistaking, okay, there’s North Dakota, South Dakota, which one has the biggest bears, the grizzly bear, the brown bear or what, which one or is it both of them that they connect? What’s up to deal with that?

SPEAKER 02 : 3:31

Well, there’s no bears here, but you venture a little bit farther north up into Canada and Minnesota, and you’ll definitely run into a few of those.

SPEAKER 05 : 3:38

Really? Man, so it’s cool. It’s cool. I didn’t know that. I did not know there was no bears there. Wolverines, you got something dangerous out there, right?

SPEAKER 02 : 3:47

That is correct, yeah. I mean, there’s a few rattlesnakes roaming around, which you don’t want to get bit by. And, you know, I think that’s about it. We’re not a state that you’re going to find a lot of predators that can kill you.

SPEAKER 05 : 4:01

Luke, that sounds like my kind of state.

SPEAKER 02 : 4:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER 05 : 4:06

We talk about it all the time. Well, check it out, buddy. For my audience, because this guy’s incredible, and he’s doing incredible things. And I’ve been getting to know him, and a lot of great things are going on. But I’m going to let you, big dog. You are on the right show. We made the right connections. And I want you to tell my audience, which reaches into four states, what you are doing. Because I see and I know, and it’s spectacular. So the floor is yours, buddy.

SPEAKER 02 : 4:34

Well, I appreciate that. Well, good morning. I’m pretty humble when I say this. My name is Nick Coulterman, and I’ve been an entrepreneur for 20 years. I’ve been in the medical field for 19 years and going. Just kind of not doing a lot with that, but I’ve helped a lot of people in the prosthetic and orthotic world over 19 years with hospital systems, VAs. veterans, kids, just helping people in the diabetic communities walk and live a healthy life. And that was my calling at the time. That was my passion at the time. And it gave me a good career and it helped me realize that helping people is very important in having a fulfillment in life. And so Here we are, fast forward in the last two years. Reggie and I have gotten together just recently, but in the last couple of years, we’ve been working on some nonprofit stuff, collaborating with some celebrity friends of mine, some people in the communities of the NFL, NBA, you name it, Major League Baseball. And it’s now my calling to help veterans with disabilities, people with disabilities, kids, kids with cancer, kids with disabilities to enjoy the outdoors. And so we’ve… We own a couple hunting lodges in South Dakota. We primarily use those out of the year. We put on several different hunts with pheasant hunting, with recreational outdoor activities, predator hunting. We do duck and goose hunting. We do all kinds of really fun stuff. And so in the midst of all that and through some nonprofit friends of mine and dealing with the veteran communities and outdoor communities, We’re building a new lodge, and it’s going to be just under 9,000 square feet and state-of-the-art. It’s going to be able to house veterans with disabilities, anybody with a disability. But primarily, we’re going to be doing some really cool hunts with veterans, getting them in the outdoors, getting them to do… just to be a part of nature. And I think that from a healing standpoint, that’s very vital, right? It’s important. And then from just an outdoor recreational side, they’ll get to enjoy some things that normally they typically wouldn’t be able to do if they had a disability, you know, with an amputation or a wheelchair, getting them out here and enjoying, you know, God’s country. Because we’re in the middle of nowhere. You know, a lot of people, I think when I first conversation I had with you, you’re like, you know, where is… fedora south dakota you know and it’s you know we’re we’re not on a map uh no we are on a map but but we uh we love it out here and you know enjoying god’s country riding around in side by side four-wheelers uh you know getting to enjoy the ground and and the peacefulness um that we that we own and we love so wow and you know some things that You and I have shed light on, and we were on the phone yesterday, that probably the audience knows a lot with what you’re doing is connecting people, right? And what’s the slogan that you use the most?

SPEAKER 05 : 8:01

I’m a uniter.

SPEAKER 02 : 8:03

Yeah, you’re a uniter. And so what I’ve learned in life is that a lot of unity comes from like-minded individuals, comes from people that want to make a difference, have a passion for a certain cause. and i just number one i love jesus so anybody that’s listening and loves jesus you know that that’s important um and i think it’s it’s getting people in the right rooms and sharing some ideas and then having those ideas come to fruition when it comes to uh building things that that need to get built to help people and you know the the most important thing that that i think is a takeaway with Unity and uniting together is finding the cause and supporting the cause. And so for us, this deal we’re doing, we’re doing a couple of really amazing things actually with Empowering the Veterans with my good friend, Major Edward Polito. I just got back from the White House And I didn’t get to meet Trump and sit down with him, but I did get to meet some advisors and some really important people in the past that are going to lead us into the right direction of working with the White House here in really short order. But it’s imperative that… we bring people from the top to from the bottom to the top and the top to the bottom right and so doing doing so it’s i had an incredible time in dc i was out there for the last couple days i just got back you know yesterday fully it was my first day back and what i realized was was there’s really a lot of politicians and a lot of people that that do good um I’m not into politics, and I don’t like to dive into it a lot for various reasons. But I look at there are still some good people in politics, and they want to help in ways that they can help. And we’re going to make that happen. I think from a bigger scale, we’re going to pull a lot of people into this new lodge and this new facility that we’re going to be building. It’s going to be state-of-the-art amazing. And it’s going to be the biggest project ever. uh once we get done with it will be the biggest biggest project in the united states that actually houses disabled veterans and and people in the disability community to enjoy the outdoors kids with you know terminally ill cancers uh people to be able to just come out and and also do uh retreats and so you know that’s a part of it the hunting season is a very short window the the The retreat window is a little bit larger, and a lot of people love the sunshine and when the temperatures are a little warmer here in South Dakota, it seems. So doing some retreats in the summertime, getting some veterans involved in veteran retreats, kids retreats, and then just putting together really a high-caliber, functionally performing lodge that’s able to capacitate that, right? It’s able to house those types of people, and so… Those are things that we’re working on, some pretty cool, unique projects. But it’s – yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER 05 : 11:12

So I know how smart you are, how successful you are, and how humble you are. You pretty much just named, like, four or five of the top companies in the world that you are bringing together and working with. How – How do you get on that level and get those type of prestigious people and companies to surround you or work with you and do this push and this move that brought it all the way now to the White House? How do you do that, man? Like, what’s the secret with that? I mean, you’re so genuine and, of course, being smart and working hard and all that. But it has to be a true passion, doesn’t it?

SPEAKER 02 : 11:59

Well, I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned in life is that, you know, when I was younger, my dad told me a really important thing when I was in high school and I was sitting in meetings with him and boardrooms and there was, you know, he would go to regional meetings with his company and talk about, you know, business and big deals and all these things. And I would just sit in the corner and I would listen. And one thing that my father told me really on in my career and in college was, was, Anything that you do, business will come and it doesn’t matter the product, it doesn’t matter if you’re selling yourself as a speaker, whatever you’re doing, selling a product, selling houses, it doesn’t matter. What matters is the people and the relationships that you build. And it’s more important to build relationships and to build long-lasting relationships with people because you never know when you’re gonna need those people and you never know how those people are gonna connect you to other people. Early on in my life, I learned that that was kind of a driver to do business. And I didn’t realize it until probably over the last four or five years that those relationships will catch up to you and you will need them. And so I’ve reached out heavily. primary in the last couple of years with a lot of those relationships saying, hey, we’re doing this. We’re at this level. Here’s what we’re doing. Like, we need to get to the White House. How do we make that happen? We need to we need to involve, you know, some of the people in my career that I did orthotics for, you know, NBA players, NFL guys, celebrities, country music stars, like just people that I’ve helped throughout my career in that. And I’ve reached out to those people and said, hey, we need you now in this project. Like, can you help us or can you steer us in the direction of somebody else helping us? And it’s never… Never be afraid to ask is probably, you know, one of the key takeaways of anybody that’s listening is never be afraid to ask and be humble when you ask. And a lot of people will give their time to you if it’s for good reasons and good intentions, right? And so, you know, never be afraid to ask. Always build relationships. Never burn bridges. Always try to build relationships because you never know when you’re going to need those relationships again. And quite frankly, those people… I’ve had a lot of people over the last 10 years reach out to me and say, hey, Nick, I need you for this, or I need you for that, or can you help me connect the dots with this person? And we’ve been able to do some incredible things there. So keeping that connection open checking in with people on a periodic basis and it doesn’t have to be, I like to check in with a lot of my relationships and people that I know and it’s, you know, we deem the term relationship capital over the last 12 to 18 months in my circle and the relationship capital that you create can drive the needle and move things such as business such as other relationships um such as you know doing doing things um even recreational things it’s fun to hang out with people that are you know high net height high worth um individuals uh one guy told me uh this summer it was quite quite funny a friend of mine that um he does a lot of big business deals a lot of things and he said uh You know, Nikki goes, when you go on someone else’s boat out to the ocean and go fishing with them or you’re traveling and you do a lot of these fun, fun activities that you do when you’re creating business, you know, you don’t have to own it to enjoy it. Think about that. There’s a lot of people in society that they’re like, hey, I got to have the biggest and the best. I got to drive this car that’s worth X amount of dollars. I got to have this house. I got to do these things. I got to own this boat. I got to own that. I got to own all these things. Really, the humility with that is that When you think about it, you really don’t need to own anything. You don’t need to own something to enjoy something. And that was really a humbling experience and conversation for me was that I can go enjoy all these things because my buddies all have them. I don’t need to go buy a $250,000 boat. You hear that, Luke? I can go get on his boat anytime I want and enjoy it because we’re friends. Yeah. You don’t have to buy things to enjoy things.

SPEAKER 05 : 16:20

So with that mentality, you hear what he’s saying, Luke? That means I should be able to come up to your house, to the mansion, and enjoy the stuff you have.

SPEAKER 02 : 16:35

We’re buddies. We’re buddies, right? Your buddy knows a buddy that knows a buddy that can get you where you need to be. Yes, sir. And that’s true, man. And it’s… I would rather be a driver in today’s world. I look back at my entrepreneur career in building different businesses and doing different things, but I really look at the last 24 months and if I were to dissect that, I’ve went from this paradigm of being an entrepreneur and building business and trying to scale things and do it yourself and be that guy and build it from the ground up and But I’ve taken a shift in that and went more to an intrapreneur mindset. And an intrapreneur is different in the fact that I don’t need to own it to build it and scale it. And so now I’m collaborating with people from all over the world, all over the U.S., in building business, tying business into deals and people. And I can own… 5%, 10% of something and bring in other guys and build business and other investors and other people to collaborate with. I don’t need to own the whole thing and that’s something that I’ve changed in my mindset is that One thing that does is it possibly moves the needle much quicker.

SPEAKER 05 : 17:56

Much quicker, it does. On your team, per se, I think it’s like three or four authors in the book Freedom Charge. I believe Ashley, Major Ed, Scott.

SPEAKER 02 : 18:11

Yeah, those guys are all on our team for this project. I’ll call it Project X. We’re building this project out with the White House and doing some different things with Trump’s administration, which is incredible. And a lot of people that are not on the Trump wagon, they really don’t understand the guy because he’s not a politician. Yeah. This is a really funny conversation that I had with my cousin. She’s been in politics for many years. My uncle was a state senator. My cousin was in and out of politics. And I called her up and I said, hey, I’m going to the White House. What do I need to know? I need a briefing. I need a briefing on the president. I need a briefing on the administration because she’s very savvy in those things. And I said, what do I need to know? How do I need to act? What do I need to do? And she goes, Nick, if it was any other president, I would be… giving you a briefing, telling you what to say, how to act, what to do from a political side, but you’re going to be talking to a guy that’s non-political, and so he’s a business guy, and you’re a business guy, so I think you’re going to hit it off

SPEAKER 05 : 19:15

fairly easily because he doesn’t he talks like he normally talks in any conversation you know right he’s real with it straight up and you got a lot of power man and you’re very humble with it i was very very impressed and what you’re what you’re doing is amazing um what do you have a and i know you can’t get too deep into it or anything like that but what made you involve the president what what made you involve that

SPEAKER 02 : 19:44

Uh, there are many answers to that. Uh, the biggest thing is, is, is, you know, you got to get to a stage at some point in your life, you got to get to a stage that people, that you can be heard and it’s not, and you don’t have to take credit for it. So the biggest thing is, is a lot of people want to take credit for things. Um, we don’t need to take credit for this idea that that we’ve built and created and and thankfully you know steve cohen who owns the mess and there’s a lot of people involved in you know the the the cohen veteran network and and major ed with empowering the veterans and our program and you know ashley over at um forward global and and all these people that are going to be you know heavily involved in this project We don’t need to take credit and be on the front stage. We’re wanting the president to do that because of this collaboration. I think that’s something important to take away from this conversation is a lot of people need to be the face and name of what they’re doing and be on this stage and be in front and let everybody know and the world know that it was them, right? We don’t need to do that because people will find out, people will know, but we need that stage. We need the stage the size of the white house and the presidency to, you know, publicly announce and do a deal. Um, and hopefully that comes to fruition here pretty soon. Um, but, but we need that, that high of a stage to make something this big of what we’re doing happen. Right. Right. Cause it is big. There’s no doubt about it. So we’ve got a lot of good, we got a lot of moving parts with it. It’s going to be a lot of fun. People will see, you know, in short order, um, who we’re collaborating with and what we’re doing as far as helping veterans. Um, But yeah, we don’t need to take credit and be all over social media and TV. We can have one guy do that, and that’s the president. And I think once everything comes together, I think we’re going to see some amazing things happen in the veteran community with helping veterans with suicidal things, their families. Their mental health, it’s going to be pretty incredible.

SPEAKER 05 : 22:00

And shelter and all that. That is not – Luke, and you know, I speak about that all the time. That’s one of my things is the vets, the elderly, the kids. That is – That’s really big, man. And I believe the vets need everything we can give them because I feel as an American, we owe them. So it’s kind of disheartening. You know I’m in the entertainment business as well, and when I just got back from L.A. not too long ago for the BET Music Awards, and la was just crazy man it was just so many homeless people and and you talk to people and there’s a lot of vets that are homeless on the streets man i just can’t understand that yeah there’s there’s a need for um there’s a need for what we’re doing and it takes

SPEAKER 02 : 23:05

There’s a lot of good organizations out there, and there’s a lot of good veteran organizations out there, and they all try to do really good, amazing things. We want this to be the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to putting on something this caliber, and we want it to be known nationwide. And I think that’s the projection that we’re going to strive for in closing this deal is that We want to be the go-to for veteran care and veteran community awareness and everything we’re doing to help vets. And I think that’s going to happen on the scale we want it to happen. It’s just a matter of time.

SPEAKER 05 : 23:44

Now I’ve seen, and those pictures you sent were great. So I see one of those pictures, you’re standing next to the picture of Trump and Vance. Where is that, man? Because I’m jealous, man. I just got to tell him, Luke, I’m jealous.

SPEAKER 02 : 24:00

But where was that? Like, when you walk into the administration, first off, to get in there is unbelievable. Like, you got to fill out paperwork the day before or a week before, and then they do a background check on you, you know, Secret Service, and then you obviously, as a civilian, get to go in. You got to be granted access into the White House and into the, you know, I call it on the other side of the fence, right? When you go in the back and go through that, it’s like a fortress. But when you walk out on the other side, The first thing you do when you go through the last Secret Service door that you’re in this square box, you walk out the other side and all of a sudden you walk into the big hallway and it’s a picture of Trump and Vance. I took a picture of that. And then when you go into the… Every corner… This is what else is crazy. Every floor, every corner you turn, there’s the same pictures. There’s the same pictures of them, too. And I think it’s I think it’s quite comical that, you know, I mean, obviously, you you know who they are, but they’re seen everywhere.
