The Nomad CEO Podcast
Behind every successful man is a rock-bottom story. Every Friday, The Nomad CEO Podcast dives into the transformational journeys of male founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who walked away from comfort, faced chaos, and rebuilt themselves into something stronger. And in case you wondered, yes, this is a male-only space because we need more of that. Hosted by Roman L. Binder, this is not a podcast about tactics—it’s about the turning point. The moment when everything collapsed. When reality forced a new identity. And when the real journey began. These are conversations with men who chose discipline over despair, meaning over mediocrity, and mission over excuses. It’s a raw look behind the polished surface—into the fire that forged them. If you’re building something and battling through it, this podcast will remind you: You’re not alone. You’re on the same path every great man walks. The Nomad CEO is where founders tell the truth—before the success story.
