Author Description

When was the last time you stopped waiting for "someday" and started living fully in this moment? In Advance, Nic Collins invites you to step off autopilot and into alignment with your most authentic self. Drawing from personal struggles, breakthroughs, and lived experiences-from nearly two decades in corporate sales and wrestling with depression to van-life reflections and ultramarathon grit-he shares raw stories and practical realizations that cut through the noise of expectation and conditioning. This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about showing up as YOU in every situation. With honesty, humor, and heart, Nic shows how to: Reclaim presence in a world of distraction. Live intentionally and authentically. Identify and live by your core values. Embrace impermanence and find gratitude in the everyday. Take challenges in stride and find growth in discomfort. Advance is more than a book-it's a permission slip to explore yourself fully and a call to action to stop delaying your own joy. Your life isn't waiting on the other side of success, approval, or the "right time". Your life is happening at this exact moment. The time is now.
