On this episode, I sit down with Te — founder of TM Fitness, a private personal training studio based in West Auckland. But before the workouts, before the transformations, before the impact…

There was pain.
There were prison cells.
There was street life — selling drugs, addiction, violence, and chasing a fast life that almost cost him everything.

From a broken home to a broken system, Te’s journey spiraled — and it nearly ended behind bars, facing six years inside. But the moment 

everything broke… was also the moment everything began.

Now? He’s a certified Level 4 PT, running his own studio, helping others take control of their health, their mindset, and their lifestyle.

This isn’t a story about fitness. This is a story about freedom.

The kind you fight for.
 The kind you earn.
The kind that comes when you stop playing victim… and start owning your past so it fuels your future.

Feeling stuck? Not sure if it’s burnout or just a creative block? In this episode, Nayzel breaks down the real difference between the two — and why mislabeling it can lead to the wrong solution. Learn how to identify what you’re going through, and what to do next — whether that means moving through the block or fully unplugging to recover.

Because creativity isn’t just about fire — it’s about fuel.
And if you want longevity, you gotta learn to protect both.

This one’s for the builders in the boring season.

 You’re showing up, doing the work, but it feels slow, quiet, maybe even pointless.
 But what if this is the part that matters most?

In this session, I break down:

• Why the building phase feels boring (and why that’s normal)
• How to stay consistent when no one’s clapping
• The difference between motion and momentum

If it feels like no one sees the work you’re doing right now — keep going anyway.
 The results are coming. Just don’t quit before they do.

In this Be A Wolf session, I break down one of the most overlooked parts of business — making it easy for your customer to pay. 

The truth is, the simpler you make the payment process, the faster you’ll close deals. Friction kills momentum. Confusion delays action. Simplicity gets you paid.

 I’ll walk you through how I personally simplify payments, remove obstacles, and capture the "yes" while the energy is high. If you want to scale, you gotta learn how to make the transaction effortless.

In today’s Be a Wolf session, I’m diving into something I’ve battled quietly for years — imposter syndrome.
That voice that tells you: “You’re not good enough,” “You just got lucky,” or “You don’t belong here.”

Here’s the truth — you’re not an imposter, you’re just stepping into rooms your past self never imagined you'd be in.

In this episode, I break down 3 ways I’ve been learning to beat imposter syndrome:

• Rewriting the story I tell myself
• Choosing evidence over emotion
• Shifting focus from self to service

This one’s for every creative, founder, and underdog out there building something bigger than themselves.

 You’re not alone. Keep building. Keep showing up. Be a Wolf.

In this Be A Wolf session, Nayzel gets real about one of the toughest parts of entrepreneurship — figuring out who you’re really here to serve.

It’s not just about launching a product or scaling a business.
 It’s about trial, error, and messy action that leads you to uncover your true audience.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

 ✅ Why ego-driven growth leaves you empty
 ✅ How customer-centric scaling transforms your business
 ✅ The honest truth about finding your audience through doing, not overthinking

If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering who you’re scaling for, this is your sign to tune in.
Because scaling without customers?
That’s just building a castle with no doors.

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.
