In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies talks with Nick Shelton, bestselling author, TEDx international speaker, and creator of The Reset Button, a six-phase reinvention framework for people navigating life transitions and rediscovering purpose.
Nick's journey is one of transformation, courage, and quiet strength. After serving in the U.S. Air Force and building a successful career in the oil and gas industry, he retired at 49, only to discover that freedom without purpose can feel like a slow collapse.
That realization sparked a personal reset that led to new meaning, confidence, and contribution. Today, Nick helps others do the same, teaching professionals, retirees, and introverts how to rebuild identity, reconnect with themselves, and create a life that actually fits.
✨ In this episode, you'll learn:
🧭 What happens after success, and how to find direction again
⚙️ The 6 phases of personal reinvention from The Reset Button
💬 How introverts can connect, network, and build confidence in social settings
🔥 Why freedom without clarity often leads to burnout
🌍 How to build new relationships and community, even when you move abroad
This is an honest and powerful conversation about identity, purpose, and the courage to start over, perfect for anyone ready to reinvent their life or career.
