Think you're too old to start a new career or learn a digital skill?
Nate sits down with Dave Johnson to talk about what it's really like to start from zero when you're not in your twenties anymore.
Dave is a grandfather of six, and just six months ago he was working a physically demanding roadside assistance job he knew he couldn't keep doing.
Today, he's a top-rated UGC creator on Fiverr, working full-time from home, charging $300+ per video, and landing deals worth over a thousand bucks. No fancy camera. No big following. Just a willingness to figure it out one step at a time.
Chapters:
06:58 – When It Finally Clicked
07:57 – Editing Fear to Simple System
12:45 – First Gig Revisions, First Lesson
29:06 – Overdeliver, Organize, Raise Rates
34:25 – The Notion Leak Pricing Hack
39:49 – Never Late, Top Rated Happens
41:58 – Why UGC Works After 50
55:38 – Land a $1,100 Gig
Dave's story doesn’t include going viral or some overnight success, but just showing up, learning the basics, and proving your value even when the tech feels intimidating and the camera makes you nervous.
He’s real, his advice is practical, and his wins happened faster than most people think is possible. If you've ever worried that you're too old to pivot, that technology isn't "for you," or that brands only want young creators, this episode will challenge every one of those beliefs.
Dave breaks down how he got comfortable on camera, how he learned editing, and how he went from undercharging to confidently negotiating $1,100 deals all while competing with creators half his age.
Listen and learn the moment Dave realized his age wasn't a disadvantage, it was his edge.
