What does it take to overcome a challenge you’ve faced since birth?

In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, Mike Bolland welcomes Nathan Winston, who was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD), a rare limb difference that led to the amputation of his left leg at the age of four.

Nathan shares his incredible journey from adapting to life with a prosthetic to excelling in football, basketball, and baseball. His determination eventually carried him to the Little League World Series and into the ranks of professional baseball.

Along the way, Nathan reflects on the challenges he faced, the resilience he developed, and the mindset that helped him keep moving forward—even when the path wasn’t easy.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  •  Growing up with PFFD and limb loss
  •  Competing in multiple sports with a prosthetic
  •  Overcoming obstacles on and off the field
  •  The lessons that shaped his “Next Level Mindset”
  •  Why confidence is built by doing uncomfortable things
  •  His mission to inspire others through his story

Nathan’s journey is a powerful reminder that our limitations don’t define us—our mindset does. Whether you’re facing adversity, pursuing a dream, or looking for encouragement to take the next step, this conversation will inspire you to keep going.
