THE NLG ROLLCALL
BEHIND THE MIC
IAN DAWSON MACKAY
SHOW HOST
I host The Next Level Guy to have real conversations with people who’ve actually done the work — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
I’m not here to preach or sell shortcuts. I’m here to ask better questions, learn in public, and apply what works in real life. Every episode is a chance to understand how people build strength, clarity, and direction over time — not overnight.
This site is a reflection of that process. If something here helps you think more clearly or move forward with a bit more confidence, it’s doing its job.

There’s no fixed schedule, and no filler. If it’s not useful, it doesn’t get sent.
I don’t email often, and I don’t share addresses.
