About Nathan:
Nathan Turner grew up in Alberta, Canada, and stumbled into entrepreneurship when he and his wife opened a Curves fitness franchise in 2004 after a stint teaching English in Korea. Alongside the franchise, he explored real estate before the 2008 financial crisis pulled him into distressed mortgage investing — a world he discovered at a conference and never looked back from.
Nathan’s continued openness to new possibilities has led to a healthy approach to development: learning to adopt new skills and ways of thinking has transformed his career over the years.
