This week, Nayzel gets real about the last two weeks — packed projects, pressure to perform, and the struggle to stay balanced while leading people and keeping the creative fire alive.

 As a founder, creative, and changemaker, routines can either fuel your mission or burn you out. 

In this episode, we dive into how to build rhythms that honour your energy, manage your team without losing your mind, and reset without shame when things fall apart. 

It's not about perfect structure — it’s about protecting the part of you that dreams, builds, and leads.

🎙️ Show Notes Summary:

 In this Be a Wolf session, Nayzel dives deep into the mindset behind long-term commitment and why success demands more than just passion — it requires discipline that shows up even when motivation doesn’t.

He unpacks what it means to forecast your commitment — to intentionally build habits that support your future self. It’s about showing up for your purpose, especially when no one’s watching. Nayzel also explores the raw idea of being “a slave to yourself,” flipping the script from serving systems to serving your dream.

If you’re a founder, creative, or changemaker trying to stay focused in a noisy world, this episode will hit home and give you that realignment your spirit’s been craving.

In this Be A Wolf session, Nayzel dives deep into the power of diverse thinking—and why it's more important now than ever. We live in a world where algorithms, culture, and comfort zones can easily trap us in tunnel vision. But what if the key to growth, innovation, and leadership is learning how to design your own mindset?

You’ll hear raw thoughts on:

• Why “same input = same output”
• How to question what you’ve been taught to believe
• Why diverse thinking creates better founders, creatives, and changemakers

This isn’t about thinking different just for the sake of it. It’s about reclaiming your mind, rewriting your story, and becoming the kind of leader who doesn’t follow—but shapes the future.

My book Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up is for you.
It’s for the ones designing their mindset, not inheriting it.

In session 150, we dive into one of the most underrated traits of successful founders — resourcefulness. 

When you don’t have money, gear, or a full team, your creativity, relationships, and mindset become your biggest assets. This one’s a reminder that you don’t need more to start — you just need to start with what you’ve got. 

Let’s break the myth that you need to be fully resourced before you build something powerful.
