Recorded this one straight from bed (literally!), with Tegan firing off some juicy questions on supply + demand tension.

We dive into:
 🍔 Fergburger  – how they keep killing it even when the crowds line up.
 🏔 Mt Cook hotels + resorts – what they teach us about holding your value.

The big takeaway? Don’t get lazy when things are going well. The tension between supply + demand is where you sharpen your game, stay creative, and avoid the trap of complacency.

If you’re building, scaling, or just love hearing real-world biz examples, go have a listen.

Too many creatives, founders, and changemakers get stuck trying to perfect the idea before they launch it. But here’s the truth: speed wins.

In this Be a Wolf session, I dive into why execution matters more than perfection.
Why getting your idea out quickly gives you clarity.
And why the people winning right now? They're not always the smartest—they're the ones who move.

Done is better than perfect.
Launch it. Test it. Tweak it. But do it fast.

Let’s go.

🎙 Session Summary:

In this week's Be A Wolf session, we’re cutting through the fluff and getting real about why people should actually hire you. We unpack three core reasons — being living proof of your results, the power of showing up with unshakable consistency, and how intentional scarcity builds trust, value, and focus. 

Whether you're a founder, creative, or changemaker — this one's a mirror check. If you want to be in demand, you’ve got to be the demand.

It’s not about convincing people — it’s about becoming undeniable.

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.
