About this listen

In this powerful episode of the 8th Gear Podcast, serial entrepreneur Mikel Lindsaar opens up about the raw, unfiltered truth behind building, scaling, and surviving as a founder.

From lying in the fetal position in the shower after losing a client, to walking 5km every single day — rain, hail, or airport delays — Mikel shares the mindset, discipline, and radical persistence required to build not just one, but seven companies, selling four successfully.

You'll learn:

  • How to handle complete breakdowns as an entrepreneur
  • When to persist — and when to walk away
  • Why policy, structure, and responsibility are the secret weapons of scale
  • The brutal honesty of replacing yourself in your own business

This episode isn't just for entrepreneurs. It's for anyone building something bigger than themselves and facing the inevitable resistance that comes with it.

"You don't fail until you give up." — Mikel Lindsaar
