Ep 6 | Mykel Dixon | Inside The Maverick Mind
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if you stopped chasing success — and started feeling alive instead?
In this episode of Inside the Maverick Mind, Emyr Afan OBE sits down with the extraordinary
Mykel Dixon — author, creative catalyst, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices on what it means to live and lead with aliveness.
Mykel challenges one of the biggest myths of modern life: that joy, vitality, and fulfilment are waiting for you on the other side of achievement. Instead, he flips the script entirely —
feel alive first, and everything shifts.
We explore:
Why aliveness is the source of success, not the reward
What it means to remember who you were before the world got to you
The real cost of being a maverick — and why it's worth every scar
How to stop giving your power away to other people's projections
The shift from getting ahead to coming alive
This conversation is for the creatives, the restless, the ones who've always felt like a little too much — and anyone ready to stop waiting for permission to be fully themselves.
