Welcome to How Leaders Lead, where every week you get to listen in while I interview some of the very best leaders in the world.

I break down the key learning so that by the end of the episode, you'll have something simple you can apply as you develop into a better leader.

That's what this podcast is all about.

Well, buckle up, guys, because today's episode starts with 20 snakes getting loose in the Houston airport, and it only gets better from there.

You'll see just what I mean when you hear from my guest today, Nat Turner. He's the CEO of Collectors,

which helps collectors buy, sell,

trade, and even authenticate their collections. Now listen, Nat is one of those people who just has

an entrepreneurial spirit running through his veins. He has been building businesses since he was

12 years old, and I'm serious, legitimate businesses

since he was 12.

And at every point, he has had this fearless ability to just jump in the deep end and get

started with the work instead of waiting around for perfect timing or the perfect idea.

It's this kind of resolve and courage and hard work we can all learn a lot from.

And I got to warn you, listening to this episode is going to make you want to clear your whole schedule and launch something big.

And hey, maybe you will, because as you're about to see, some pretty incredible

stuff can happen when you just get started. So here's my conversation with my good friend,

and soon to be yours, Nat Turner. You know, Nat, I can't wait to get into how you lead and the whole collectible business,

which is fascinating to me.

But I know you're an avid collector yourself.

What's your most prized possession?

Ooh, probably be the first baseball card I ever got, which my dad gave me.

It would be a 1975 tops, Hank Aaron, kind of the later of his career, second to last year.
