About this listen

Real conversations with established purpose-driven founders who've built successful businesses and lives they love.

Perfect for early-stage entrepreneurs and startup founders who want practical business advice from people who've actually built something — not theoretical frameworks from people who haven't.

In a world full of entrepreneurial noise, quick fixes, and dream-selling influencers, Walk With Founders cuts through the clutter with authentic, curiosity-driven conversations.

Host Georgee sits down with founders who are quietly building successful businesses while staying true to their values — some you'll know, some you won't, but all have wisdom worth sharing.

These aren't polished success stories or scripted interviews. They're real conversations about origin stories, current challenges, and practical insights like how to land your first 10 clients, when to pivot a marketing strategy that isn't working, and how to navigate the inevitable moments when everything falls apart.

    Most founders think building a product is safer than talking to customers, but Simba Nyazika learned this avoidance costs 10x more than facing the fear. In this conversation, the neuroscientist-turned-serial-entrepreneur shares the practical strategies that took him from a failed VR startup to building multiple successful companies.

    Simba Nyazika is a confidence and resilience coach, entrepreneur, and the producer of The Resilient Mind Podcast, a top-ranked show featuring world leaders in mindset and personal growth. With over a decade of experience in behavior consulting and learning development, he has built multiple organizations including the Body Language Training Institute and Lenica Research Group. His work blends neuroscience, psychology, and practical coaching to help individuals and companies build unshakable confidence, strong communication, and mental resilience. Passionate about travel, culture, and connection, Simba brings a global perspective to empowering people to reach their highest potential.

    In this episode, we dive into the real-world strategies Simba used to overcome the common fears that paralyze most early-stage founders:

    Key takeaways:

    • Why talking to customers early prevents expensive mistakes and complete rebuilds
    • How to give yourself limited recovery time after rejection and get back to work quickly
    • The "structure informs intent" principle for designing your entire environment for success
    • Why being slightly embarrassed by your first product means you launched at exactly the right time
    • How partnerships happen through genuine enthusiasm, not perfect pitches

    If you're avoiding customer conversations, stuck in analysis paralysis, or struggling to build consistent habits that move your business forward, this episode gives you proven frameworks from someone who's been exactly where you are.
