In this episode of The Unbreakable Mission, I sit down with my friend Doug Katz, Co-Founder of NULU. Doug’s story takes us from West Point to corporate America, through physical setbacks, and into the world of innovation where resilience and creativity collide.
Doug shares how an unexpected gift from his wife, a knife-making class, ignited his journey into invention and ultimately led to the creation of the NULU knife, a modern reinvention of the traditional Ulu. Along the way, we dig into lessons on asking for help, leveraging networks, and embracing pivots as a form of success rather than failure.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, coach, or creator, Doug’s insights will challenge you to leave your ego at the door, embrace fearlessness, and surround yourself with people who sharpen your vision and execution.
Your mission this week: Identify one area in your business or life where you’ve been trying to go it alone. Instead, reach out to someone with the experience, wisdom, or perspective you need and take action on their feedback.
Stay resilient. Eliminate excuses. Stay Unbreakable.
