About Charles Nick
Aviation to Coffee, Youtube. & the Next MovieI will never be able to claim life has been boring; God has been intensely good to me. Being raised in a small town created a hard work ethic and being near Dayton, Ohio grew a deep appreciation for invention and aviation; thanks to the Wright Brothers, Kettering, Deeds and more. Watching my Yia Yia (Greek grandmother) play piano added my love for music; love playing guitar, piano, bass, drums and lead vocals. Later I would discover great coffee in Dayton, Ohio in 2013 and everything was about the change.SHARK TANKI left my career in aviation in 2016 from helping organizations like NASA, Virgin Galactic, KSU and more with reliability engineering to growing a Shark Tank business called Third Wave Water. The experience on the show was humbling and life changing. TEDxA few years ago I gave a TEDx talk about \"Tenacity Breeds Inspiration\"(a fantastic, but challenging time) and then stumbled into a new calling: storytelling. UNITY FILMSoon I launched a Youtube channel (@charlesn) in 2022 sharing what I was learning about filmmaking in preparation for my first short film UNITY. The Stargate fan film short was finished in 2024 (@stargateunityfanfilm), bringing a new joy to my life; movie making. It wasn\'t going to win awards necessarily, but was the first one to pave the way for me to learn how to break all of the things, in a good way.YOUTUBEIn my off time, I\'m a part time coach for Derral Eve\'s Jumpstarter program, helping other YouTubers learn how to grow their channels, while also growing my own channel (@charlesn) to learn \'more\' of the things necessary to make the next film. A new Christian based science fiction series is on the way to help offset the never ending plethora of negative content inundating our hearts and minds with uplifting content instead.Whether it is Third Wave Water, Youtube, or the next film, I am linked by a common theme of Entrepreneurship. This is my enduring passion as I also sit on a few advisory boards helping other business leaders sift through the many daily challenges.\"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors they succeed\"(Prov 15:22).Message me to say hi and see how we can make a difference for Dayton, Ohio. I do not reply to solicitations. Relationships & synergy first please- Charles Nick
