In this episode of Richer Soul, we welcome Angus Nelson, an executive coach dedicated to transforming entrepreneurs into their best selves. Angus shares his powerful story of overcoming burnout, addiction, and personal loss to build a life of balance and fulfillment. He discusses the psychology of success, emotional intelligence, and how to cultivate a wealthy life beyond just financial gains. His insights have impacted leaders in startups, Fortune 500 companies, and even celebrity circles.

Join us as we dive into Angus’ transformative journey and learn how you, too, can redefine success on your terms.

Key Takeaways:

1. Overcoming Burnout and Self-Sabotage. Angus shares how his early years of relentless work ethic led him to a dark place—losing his first marriage and business. His turning point came when he realized that self-worth isn’t tied to how hard one works, but rather to the person one becomes. Learning to step back, prioritize mental health, and embrace self-awareness helped him rebuild his life.
2. Redefining Wealth and Success. Growing up, Angus was raised in a culture that equated success with material gain and status. However, he later discovered that true wealth is about personal fulfillment, meaningful relationships, and impact. He now coaches high achievers to shift their mindsets from a scarcity-driven, fixed-pie mentality to one of abundance and growth.
3. The Power of Emotional Intelligence. Success isn’t just about strategy and execution; it’s about managing emotions, communication, and self-awareness. Angus emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence in business and leadership. He teaches his clients how to harness their emotions, build resilience, and cultivate deeper connections with those they lead.
4. Personal Growth is the Key to Financial Abundance. Rather than chasing money, Angus believes in attracting it by becoming a better person. He stresses that financial success follows personal transformation. When you invest in yourself—your mindset, your emotional well-being, and your vision—you naturally create opportunities and wealth.

Money Learning:

Angus grew up in a financially stable household where money was never scarce, but his parents’ later shift to a scarcity mindset influenced his early beliefs. He learned that money should be earned through hard work, but he also absorbed limiting beliefs about wealth. It wasn’t until later in life that he redefined his relationship with money—shifting from a mindset of limitation to one of possibility and abundance.
