We are chatting with Mr. Nelson Tressler! From being born the product of a brutal rape of his 15 year old mother, physically and emotionally abused by his step-father, and a looming stigma following him throughout his town and school; to later starting 10 businesses and a chain of children's learning centers, and owning over $25 million dollars in commercial real estate - Nelson shares his journey, and what inspired him to break the cycle of poverty and abuse and set a course for goal setting.
