Meet Nathaniel P. Scheer, host of MindForce. Born in Chico, CA, Nate has lived a life of ups and downs, from a challenging childhood to finding purpose in the Air Force. He's passionate about helping others achieve their goals and find happiness. Through his own experiences, including struggles with abuse, loss, and personal setbacks, he has learned to appreciate the beauty in imperfection and the importance of living in the present.

He's faced tough times, like losing one grandma to suicide and another to "routine" heart surgery, and his grandpa to a sudden brain aneurysm. He's also navigated the challenges of divorce, co-parenting, and moving around the world as a member of the military, seperated from your family support system. With a heart for storytelling and a desire to help others grow, Nate creates a safe space for authentic conversations on MindForce, exploring love, life, and learning, and navigating the ups and downs of life with his guests.
