Keynote Speaker
Nick Surface
Nick is a marketing expert and co-founder of The Impossible Life, a weekly podcast with over 300 episodes and a global following. He and co-founder Garrett Unclebach challenge men to rise above mediocrity and embrace their true purpose. Through Biblically-based content and training, they help men become the strong, fearless leaders they were made to be.
Along with the podcast, Nick is a leader of Mighty Men, a weekly men’s group with 400+ in attendance (read that number again) every Saturday morning.
Nick is a sold-out follower of Christ who has been married to his wife for over 20 years. They have 3 kids and he takes his Biblically mandated responsibility to lead, protect and provide seriously, actively shaping his kids into all God made them to be.
