319: From Bankruptcy at 21 to Building Global Brands
Imagine going bankrupt at 21 with over a quarter-million dollars in debt—only to rebuild and create brands that now reach millions worldwide. That’s exactly what today’s guest, Nick Edmundson, did.
Nick is the Founder & CEO of Wandering Weddings, the global hub for adventurous couples who want rule-free, epic celebrations. From washing cars for $6.50 an hour to running multiple successful brands—including a die-cast racing venture called Tiny Track Cars—Nick’s story is one of persistence, creativity, and never letting other people’s limits define his own.
In this episode, we dive into:
The $250,000 car business disaster that forced him into bankruptcy at 21
How he turned photography into a thriving business and simplified success with his wife
Building Wandering Weddings into a worldwide platform
Balancing business with family life while protecting his time
Why persistence—not intelligence—is the ultimate success key
Nick also shares how joining the Exiter Club mastermind shifted his mindset, taught him the power of delegation, and helped him move from being the brand to running the brand.
👉 Whether you’re chasing freedom, rebuilding after failure, or looking for a model of persistence, Nick’s journey will inspire you.
