What happens when a 74-year-old Marine, retail executive, and mortgage mogul decides to take on the Texas Supreme Court?
You get Nelson A. Locke.
In this episode of Heart of the Hustle, Nelson shares the wild ride of how he went from managing hundreds of employees in retail and mortgage banking to building a thriving federal law practice—and why the Texas Bar initially said “no” simply because he studied online. He didn’t just take the hit—he fought back. And he won.
This one’s for the rule-breakers, the lifelong learners, and anyone who's been told they’re “too late” or “not enough.” Nelson’s story will inspire you to keep pushing, even when the system says no.
