  • EPISODE 150 - NICK AYALA
    Feb 13 2026

    Do you really understand what discipline, success, responsibility, and impact mean in real life? Probably not the way you think.In this episode of the Out of the System Podcast, I, Leo Climaco, have a no-nonsense conversation with Nick Ayala about what truly sustains long-term success — and why most people fail even when they’re talented, smart, and well-intentioned.Nick has built and sold multimillion-dollar businesses, operated companies across multiple continents, and worked directly with investors, funds, and founders. But the focus of this conversation isn’t money. It’s structure.This episode isn’t about cheap motivation, catchy slogans, or “positive thinking.” It exposes truths most people choose to ignore:Freedom without discipline leads to chaos.Ambition without structure comes with a hidden cost.Money without purpose is never enough.Nick breaks down why so many people work hard but stay stuck, how a lack of personal discipline can destroy promising businesses, and why investors evaluate the founder before even looking at the company.We dive into topics rarely discussed openly:The false belief that working harder always solves problems.Why discipline matters more than talent.The real cost of success on family and personal life.Why impact becomes more important than money.The biggest mistake founders make when seeking investment.Why investors bet on people, not presentations.Dubai, global capital, and long-term vision.Discipline as an invisible advantage in a distracted world.This isn’t a comfortable conversation.It doesn’t promise shortcuts.It doesn’t sell illusions.It’s a clear look at why so many people have potential — but live below what they could actually build.If you feel capable, visionary, and ambitious, yet find yourself tired, frustrated, or trapped in repeating cycles — this episode is for you.🎧 Watch closely. Some truths only work if you’re willing to face them head-on.📲 Follow on social media:LEO CLIMACO PODCASThttps://www.instagram.com/leoclimacopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@leoclimacopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@leoclimacopodcasthttp://leoclimacopodcast.comLEO CLIMACOhttps://www.instagram.com/leoclimacohttp://leoclimaco.comFORGE STUDIOhttps://www.instagram.com/forgestudio.florida/http://forgestudiofl.comNICK AYALA https://www.instagram.com/nickjayala/https://www.facebook.com/nicholasjamesayalahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjayala
