About the show

We teach Creatives, Entrepreneurs & Change-makers to ignite community transformations. Success can come from anyone: Our mission is simple. Empower the future leaders of our community. There are individuals who grew up thinking that they won't amount much because of where they came from and their background. We think differently. There is strength in our past, and we celebrate the unique traits that each person brings. We empower all the talent in our community to see their true potential, dream higher, and achieve success whatever that looks like to them. As Dr. Seuss puts it, “You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree” but give that fish an ocean and watch it swim past the horizon. The Why: We are only as strong as the weakest member of our community. We believe in empowering the youth with education, resources, advocacy, and love so that they can lift our community up and make it stronger. We win when they win. We are here to redefine communities, and nothing is going to stop us.

#212 - Lower Barriers, Higher Standards: Why Better Tools Don't Build Better Businesses | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailTechnology is making it easier than ever to enter the creative industry — but easier entry doesn't equal better outcomes. In this session, we break down why lowering the barrier to entry is a double-edged sword: yes, you can get started faster and produce work more efficiently, but none of that guarantees your business will grow. What actually moves the needle is your ability to build genuine trust and real connection with the people you serve. Tools evolve. Relationships are the differentiator.📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

#211 - The Monday I Missed | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailThis Week on Be A Wolf Sessions 🐺This week, I reflect on missing a Monday.I knew that day would come eventually.For 210 Mondays in a row, I showed up. No matter what was happening in business, life, relationships, travel, or the chaos in between, I found a way to hit record and share a session.Last week, I got sick.And for the first time, I missed a Monday.The interesting thing is, I've been preparing for that moment for a long time. Not the sickness itself, but the reality that life eventually throws something at all of us. A setback. A disruption. A moment that breaks the streak.What matters isn't that it happened.What matters is how you respond after it happens.Do you let one missed day become a missed week?A missed week become a missed month?A missed month become a forgotten dream?Or do you acknowledge it, accept it, and get back to work?The goal was never perfection.The goal was always consistency.And consistency isn't measured by whether you never fall down. It's measured by how quickly you're willing to get back up.Sometimes life will interrupt your plans.Sometimes you'll miss a day.Sometimes you'll lose momentum.But momentum can always be rebuilt.This week, I want to talk about what happens after the setback. Because that's where character is built. That's where resilience is tested. That's where the real story begins.Keep going. 🐺"It's not the interruption that defines you. It's the return." – Nayzel Sushil📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

210 - AI, Innovation & The Human Edge | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailThis session explores the growing conversation around AI, automation, and the future of human work. Nayzel breaks down why real innovation takes time and why technology needs years of observing human behaviour, decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving before it becomes truly reliable in the real world.The conversation dives into the difference between imitation and understanding — explaining how AI can replicate workflows but still struggles with context, emotional intelligence, instinct, leadership, and navigating unpredictable human environments.The session also explores why the future doesn’t belong to people trying to replace humans with technology, but to those learning how to combine systems, creativity, storytelling, and human connection with AI in meaningful ways.A grounded reflection on innovation, timing, human value, and why the human edge still matters more than ever.📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

#209 - The Side of Sales Nobody Talks About | Nayzel Sushil | Be A A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailSession SummaryThis week’s session is a real conversation around what sales actually feels like behind the scenes as a founder, creative, and entrepreneur.After reviewing recent sales calls, Nayzel reflects on how energy, emotional intelligence, and human psychology often matter more than scripts or strategies. The session explores how understanding what people truly want changes the way you communicate, lead, and sell.It also dives into the emotional weight that can come with being founder-led — carrying people’s emotions, uncertainty, expectations, and pressure through constant conversations — and how important it is to protect your energy while still showing up with intention.This isn’t a session about manipulation or “closing tactics.” It’s about understanding humans.Show NotesIn This Session: Why energy matters in conversations Understanding what people actually want Human psychology in sales Why people buy emotionally first The emotional exhaustion behind founder-led businesses Learning to protect your energy Sales vs genuine connection Why emotional intelligence matters in leadership Understanding fear, certainty, trust, and identity Reflections from reviewing real sales calls Key Takeaways People remember energy more than words Understanding psychology creates deeper connection If you don’t protect your energy, business can emotionally drain you Closing Reflection“Eventually you realise sales isn’t just about selling. It’s about understanding people, managing energy, and learning how to lead conversations with intention.”📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

#208 - Why Following Up Matters | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailThis week on Be a Wolf Sessions, Nayzel dives deeper into the real importance of following up — not just in business, but in leadership, communication, and building trust.Too many founders, creatives, and entrepreneurs give up after one message, one call, or one unanswered inquiry. But the reality is… most people need time. Time to process, compare, reflect, and emotionally connect with the decision they’re about to make.In this session, Nayzel breaks down: Why follow-up is more about consistency than pressure How consumers move through emotional decision-making The difference between chasing and leading Why silence doesn’t always mean rejection Building rhythm and systems around inquiries Understanding human psychology in sales and relationships Letting people come to their own realization instead of forcing urgency This episode is for founders, creatives, changemakers, and anyone trying to build meaningful relationships in business and life.Sometimes the sale, opportunity, or breakthrough doesn’t happen because you were louder. It happens because you stayed present long enough for clarity to happen.#Entrepreneur #Founder #Creative #Changemaker #StartUpScaleUpGrowUp📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

#207 - “Fix Your First Call” - Sales Session | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailMost people think they lose deals because of price. That’s not the truth.People don’t convert on the first call because they don’t trust you yet.The real work happens before the call—your brand, your content, your presence. By the time they speak to you, they’ve already made a decision in their mind.The call isn’t about convincing. It’s about confirming.If something is working, don’t keep changing it. Build a repeatable process, refine it, and stay consistent.Because at the end of the day, people don’t buy when they feel sold to… they buy when they feel understood.If you want a shorter version for reels:“It’s not your price. It’s trust. They decide before the call—you just confirm it.”📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.

#206 - Ideas Don’t Scale .. Execution Does | Nayzel Sushil | Be A Wolf - Sessions

Send us Fan MailThis session dives into the gap between having ideas and actually bringing them to life. It’s about the discipline of showing up consistently, tightening your standards, and focusing on execution when the excitement fades. Real growth doesn’t come from more ideas — it comes from doing the small things right, over and over again, until they compound into something bigger.📖 Episode Sponsored by: https://nayzvswild.com/product/start-up-scale-up-grow-up/ Start-Up, Scale-Up, Grow-Up — a raw, real, and practical guide for founders, creatives, and changemakers.
