Bassey Simon
Creator & Host, The NADvigators Podcast

Hello—and welcome to The NADvigators Podcast community.

I’d love to tell your story.
Yes… your story.

Because you have one.

I’d be honored to spend 60–75 minutes with you capturing your NADvigating journey—your experiences, lessons, pivots, and perspective—as part of a growing archive of modern-day explorers shaping the American experience.

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.

If you’re ready, click “Ready to Tell Your Story” to get started.

I’ll personally reach out to schedule a time and answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Howdy, Y’all! 🤠

Bassey Simon here—your host, guide, and occasional co-pilot on this wild ride called The American Dream.

I’m the founder, host, and self-appointed Chief Nadvigator of NADCast—a podcast and videocast where we sit down with real people (yes, real real) to unpack their journeys as they navigate, wrestle with, and sometimes side-eye the American Dream.

Every week, I interview NADvigators from all walks of life—recent immigrants, professionals, founders, creatives, and everyday explorers—sharing the stories you don’t usually hear. The messy starts. The culture shock. The wins. The “what-was-I-thinking?” moments. And the breakthroughs that make it all worth it.

Now, here’s the thing.

Some people think their story is epic. Others think it’s… well… “nothing special.”

Spoiler alert: they’re wrong.

Every NADvigator has hidden gems in their journey. Lessons. Pivots. Moments that could inspire someone else to take action and completely change the direction of their own life. My job is to help you uncover—and tell—that story.

And no, NADCast isn’t just for people who’ve “made it.”

It’s for:

• The wildly successful
• The still-figuring-it-out
• The “Did I make the right decision coming here?” crowd
• And everyone somewhere in between

Because sometimes what feels like failure is actually someone else’s roadmap to success.

At its core, NADCast is a community—a place where we challenge myths, break stereotypes, laugh at shared confusion, and remind each other that navigating a new country (and life) is not a straight line.

This platform exists to create something bigger than us:

A living archive of modern-day explorers, capturing stories of resilience, courage, faith, doubt, grit, and growth—for generations yet unborn.

I can promise you this:

•  Some stories will make you laugh.
• Some might make you tear up.
• 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.

So, the question is…

•  Did you come here escaping persecution?
• Did you arrive as a tourist and decide to pitch your tent?
• Did you chase opportunity, education, safety, or simply a second chance?

However you got here—you have a story.

And if you’re ready to tell it… or ready to learn from others who’ve walked this road… then you’re in the right place.

You’re among friends here.

You’re among fellow NADvigators.

Welcome home. 🧭

So…

what’s your story?

Now, here’s the thing.

Some people think their story is epic.
Others think it’s… well… “nothing special.”

Spoiler alert: they’re wrong.

Because most immigrant stories don’t make it to the big screen.
They don’t trend on cable news.
They don’t get documentaries or dramatic soundtracks.

And yet… they quietly power the world.

Every year, everyday immigrants—people just like the guests on this show—send hundreds of billions of dollars ($905 Billion, to be exact (WorldBank, 2024)) back to their families and communities. Not governments. Not corporations. People.

Money that pays school fees. Builds homes. Starts businesses. Funds healthcare. Keeps entire communities alive and moving forward.

No headlines.
No applause.
Just impact.

That’s why these stories matter.

Every NADvigator carries hidden gems in their journey—lessons, pivots, sacrifices, and decisions that ripple far beyond their own life. What feels ordinary to you might be the exact roadmap someone else needs to change the direction of their future.
