Hello—and welcome to The NADvigators Podcast community.
I’d love to tell
your story.
Yes… your story.

This is more than an interview.
It’s an opportunity to build a legacy, preserve your voice, and add your story to something that will outlive all of us.

Listen to the most inspiring stories of immigrants with host Bassey Simon, entrepreneur and creator of The Nadvigators Podcast (TNP). Each week, The Nadvigators Podcast brings fresh perspectives about living the American dream from modern American immigrants who share their experiences and unique paths to success.
The Nadvigators Podcast aims to preserve the many untold stories of resilience and triumphs that do not make daily news for future generations. Some stories will make you laugh, cry, or inspire and motivate as you get a glimpse into the lives of the modern American explorers I will be honored to host. But ultimately, The Nadvigators Podcast stories are presented with one object in mind: helping you navigate your American dream, whatever that dream may be.
Did you come here to escape persecution or, as a tourist, to find America a better place, and you pitched your tent? Did you come here for employment, or did you decide to relocate to this new land? Whatever the case may be, you have a story. What is the one that drove your decision to relocate to a new place you now call home? Are you ready to tell or to hear from the experience of others?
Listen here or follow The Nadvigators Podcast on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. All episode comes with full transcripts, show notes, and links to all the resources from each episode.
Howdy, Y’all! 🤠
Welcome to The NADvigators Podcast
Real people. Real journeys.
Navigating the American Dream—one story at a time.
Hosted by Bassey Simon, NADCast is a podcast and videocast featuring everyday explorers who crossed borders, chased opportunity, and discovered that the American Dream doesn’t come with instructions.
WHAT IS NADCAST?
This Is Not a Highlight Reel
NADCast is where we talk to real people—recent immigrants, professionals, founders, creatives, and everyday builders—about the actual journey.
The messy starts.
The culture shock.
The wins.
The “what-was-I-thinking?” moments.
And the breakthroughs that make it all worth it.
If you’ve ever felt lost, hopeful, unsure, proud, or stubbornly optimistic—you’ll feel right at home here.
Quiet Stories. Massive Impact.
Most immigrant stories will never make it to the big screen.
No documentaries. No headlines. No dramatic background music.
And yet… they quietly power the world.
Every year, everyday immigrants send hundreds of billions of dollars back to their families and communities—paying school fees, funding healthcare, starting businesses, and rebuilding hometowns.
No applause.
No trending hashtags.
Just real impact.
That’s why these stories matter.
Because what feels “ordinary” to you might be
life-changing to someone else.
NADCast Is for You If…
- You’ve “made it” and still feel like you’re navigating
- You’re still figuring it out and wondering if you chose right
- You’ve failed, pivoted, restarted, or quietly rebuilt
- You’ve ever asked: “Was this worth it?”
Because sometimes what feels like failure is actually someone else’s survival guide.
More Than a Podcast. A Living Archive.
At its core, NADCast is a community—a place where we:
- Break stereotypes
- Challenge myths about the American Dream
- Laugh at shared confusion
- Learn from each other’s mistakes and wins
This platform exists to create a living archive of modern-day explorers—quiet contributors, unseen builders, and everyday heroes—whose stories deserve to be told and remembered.
Not just for today.
But for generations yet unborn.
Here’s What You Can Expect
Some stories will make you laugh.
Some might make you pause.
Others will light a fire under you and make you say:
“Alright… I’ve got work to do.”
But every single one has one goal:
To help you navigate your version of the American Dream—whatever that dream looks like.
