Podcasts about relationships beat algorithms

From 2012 to 2019, George posted every win, every result, every milestone. And stayed completely silent about the panic at 11pm, the losses, the things that weren't working. He told himself it was just marketing. What it actually cost him was trust, not the loud kind, where someone calls you out. The quiet kind, where they get a good outcome, never come back, never refer anyone, and you never find out why. This is the direct follow-up to Episode 719 on psychological safety. In this solo episode, George breaks down Henry Cloud's five essentials of trust and why most entrepreneurs are accidentally building their entire career on just one of them. Pairs with the previous episode to form a complete two-part playbook on trust and relationships. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why capability is not the first essential of trust and what has to come before it Henry Cloud's five essentials: understanding, motive, ability, character, and track record Why "Dana" had an impressive career but couldn't figure out why clients didn't fully trust her The quiet kind of trust loss and why it's the most dangerous Why explaining yourself harder never rebuilds broken trust What actually does rebuild trust and why it can't skip the line How these five essentials pair with the four levels of psychological safety Key Takeaways: ✔️You can be the most capable person someone has ever hired and still never earn their trust. Capability is the third essential, not the first. ✔️The five essentials work in order: understanding → motive → ability → character → track record. Skip the first two and you'll end up respected but never fully trusted. ✔️Understanding comes first. Before anyone trusts you, they need to feel understood by you, not impressed by you. ✔️Motive matters more than results. People are always asking: are you here for me or for yourself? Your behavior answers that question whether you like it or not. ✔️Explaining yourself does not rebuild trust. Consistent behavior over time does. ✔️Trust is a bank account. Every action either deposits or withdraws. It never fills itself. ✔️The track record doesn't get to skip the line because you apologized well. It only exists through time and consistency. ✔️When trust is broken somewhere, the answer isn't to ruminate, it's to find which essential is missing and start rebuilding it through behavior. Now is the closest you've ever been to fixing it.

A brutal breakup. A six-pack on the cover of magazines. An engagement that ended. And the moment everything fell apart, the question that broke it all open: What have I actually been running from? Everything Brian built, every race, every trophy, every pound lifted, was fueled by self-hatred. The moment he stopped long enough to ask why, everything changed. Brian Keane is a 3x bestselling author, ultra-endurance athlete, and mindset coach who has helped 150+ entrepreneurs create sustainable change from the inside out. In this conversation, he and George go deep on identity, self-worth, the four quadrants of a fulfilling life, and what it actually takes to stop optimizing the wrong thing. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why keeping weight off is harder than losing it and the real reason why The four quadrant framework: health, wealth, love, and fulfillment How scarcity scales with success and how to rewire your relationship with money The "chains of habits" and the oak tree analogy for behavior change Why most entrepreneurs are more comfortable in their old story than writing a new one The director's cut thought experiment for discharging trauma and limiting beliefs The horse experiment: how to identify when you're the common denominator Why your mess becomes your message and why vulnerability is the real competitive edge Key Takeaways: ✔️You can't give from an empty cup. Entrepreneurs are the last to prioritize themselves, and the first to pay the price for it. ✔️Fueling from gratitude instead of fear is not a mindset hack. It's the difference between a decade of anxiety and a decade of sustainable output. ✔️The chains of habits are too loose to be felt until they're too strong to be broken. A habit is a seed. Leave it alone long enough and it becomes an oak tree. ✔️The horse experiment: if three people call you a horse, get a saddle. The common denominator in every repeated pattern is you. ✔️The director's cut: create an alternative version of your charged story. Not to live in fantasy, but to discharge the energy so you can look at it clearly. ✔️Frequency attracts tribe. When you go deeper on your own work, what you attract changes — in relationships, in business, and in life. ✔️Water rises to the level it's comfortable at. Your environment, community, and inner work determine your ceiling. ✔️Your mess is your message. Being witnessed in vulnerability neutralizes the charge and unlocks your next chapter.

A sharp Slack message.  A public channel.  One stressed moment. Eight months later, a six-figure client relationship gone. When George finally asked why nobody on his team said anything, the answer stopped him cold: "I didn't want to be the one to bring you bad news." That wasn't a team problem. It was a psychological safety problem. And he had created it, in five seconds, without even realizing it. Your team isn't being lazy. Your clients aren't disengaging. They're protecting themselves from your reaction. In this solo episode, George breaks down psychological safety, what it actually is, why it matters in every relationship you have, and how to rebuild it one response at a time. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two covers the five factors of trust. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What psychological safety actually is and what it's not Timothy Clark's four stages: inclusion, learner, contributor, and challenger safety Why going quiet is a learned behavior, not disengagement The silent ways we accidentally teach people it's not safe to tell us the truth Why you can't rebuild psychological safety with an all-hands meeting How to rebuild it one micro-moment at a time Why this applies equally to teams, clients, partnerships, kids, and yourself Key Takeaways: ✔️Psychological safety is not about being nice. It's a culture of rewarded vulnerability, where people can speak up, admit mistakes, push back, and not get punished for it. ✔️In that Slack channel, George taught his entire team a lesson in five seconds that took eight months to even notice they'd learned. ✔️People going quiet are not lazy or disengaged. They are successfully protecting themselves from your reaction. ✔️The four stages must build in order. You cannot have challenger safety without inclusion, learner, and contributor safety already in place. ✔️Every time you reward honesty, you add one brick. Every time you punish it, even accidentally with a sigh, a look, or picking up your phone, you tear off three. ✔️You cannot give someone something you've never given yourself. Psychological safety with your team starts with how you handle your own mistakes. ✔️This doesn't get fixed with a speech, a policy, or an all-hands meeting. It gets rebuilt in the next response. ✔️Pressure doesn't create what's inside you, it reveals it. If anger comes out when you get squeezed, that's not on the person who squeezed you. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The Slack message, the six-figure loss, and "I didn't want to bring you bad news" [01:19] — Why people going quiet is not the problem, it's the symptom [04:00] — What psychological safety actually is: a culture of rewarded vulnerability [07:00] — Timothy Clark's four stages explained [08:30] — Stage 1: Inclusion safety, do people feel like they belong? [11:00] — Stage 2: Learner safety, can they admit they don't know or made a mistake? [14:00] — Stage 3: Contributor safety, can they offer a real idea without fear? [17:00] — Stage 4: Challenger safety, the one George destroyed, and how [21:00] — Where this shows up beyond your team: clients, JVs, partnerships, kids, yourself [25:00] — How to audit where it's broken down right now [28:00] — The only way to rebuild it: one response at a time [31:00] — Why you can't give it to others if you haven't given it to yourself [33:30] — What's coming next: the five factors of trust Your Challenge This Week: Think of one relationship that's gone quieter than it used to be.

In 2014, Collin Henderson was young, in shape, and had blood pressure in the 150s. Anxiety. Depression. Completely stuck. And no idea why. What broke it open wasn't a book or a seminar. Someone handed him a framework for his mind, the same way athletes get a framework for their body.  Proactive. Repeatable. Trained. That framework became the foundation of everything he teaches today. Collin Henderson is the founder of Master Your Mindset, a mental conditioning coach to Nike, Microsoft, Amazon, and Salesforce, and one of the most practical mindset teachers George has ever had on the show. This conversation is a masterclass in what it actually looks like to train your mind, not just hope it cooperates. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why mindset is conditioning, not motivation and the difference between the training room and the weight room The 6,000 vs. 70,000 thought problem and why the untrained mind always loses The "What x3" coaching framework to get unstuck fast Why identity is the bullseye and how your words are either coding you to win or fail Collin's 4-minute HA Method daily mental workout The bison vs. cattle framework for navigating hard seasons with people by your side The Oz Method for influence, sales, and human connection What "victory goes to the vulnerable" actually looks like in practice Key Takeaways: ✔️If the mind is untrained, the thought will win. If the mind is trained, the thinker will win. ✔️80% of human thoughts are negative. 95% are recurring. You're not stuck because of circumstances, you're stuck because of cycles. ✔️You never outperform your self-image. Identity is the bullseye. Words are your wand. ✔️Prehab, not rehab. The mind gym is proactive work, not something you do after you're broken. ✔️Gratitude lowers cortisol by nearly 30%. It's not soft. It's science. ✔️The 4-minute HA Method: breathe (1 min), I Have, gratitude, I Am, self-talk, I See, visualization. Borrow the future to build the present. ✔️Fear loves isolation. Nobody should worry or win alone. Do you have bison people? ✔️Asking for help is not weakness. Hiding and trying to do it yourself is. ✔️Victory goes to the vulnerable, because the coward and the warrior both feel fear. The difference is what they do with it.

George found a 2018 Reddit thread about himself he had no idea existed. People were asking if he was still alive. It was ranking on page one. Shaping how strangers thought about him. And he had zero input on it. That's reputation. It doesn't wait for you to show up. This is the masterclass. Four weeks in the making, taught at a live event, and refined through client work, George breaks down everything you need to know about online reputation: what it actually is, how to audit it, how to manage it, and the mindset to carry it forward.  What You'll Learn In This Episode: What curb appeal really means for your business and why it speaks before you do The four-step audit to run on your own name today How AI is surfacing reviews and content from 2012 that you've completely forgotten about The 80/20 strategy for managing your online presence without burning out Micro vs. macro reviews and how to capture and use both The biggest missed opportunity in reputation management (it's free and takes 10 minutes) The painting vs. garden framework for platforms you no longer actively use Key Takeaways: ✔️Reputation is how someone would talk about you and answer a question about you when you're not in the room. It's not your Instagram. It's all of it. ✔️AI is crawling everything, blog posts from 2012, Reddit threads, old reviews and surfacing them when prospects research you. Two clients found George through ChatGPT recommendations. ✔️If you haven't Googled yourself in a private browser in the last 30 days, you don't know what strangers are finding. Go do it now. ✔️Micro reviews are the unsolicited praise happening in DMs, comments, and texts. Document every one. Macro reviews are end-of-engagement assets. Capture both systematically. ✔️The biggest missed opportunity: responding to every review, good and bad. Not responding online is the equivalent of staring at a customer in silence when they ask you a question. ✔️The painting vs. garden rule: if you can't tend to a platform consistently, paint it. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, get the contact info right. Don't leave an overgrown yard for strangers to find. ✔️Scaling your reputation doesn't mean automating the human touches. It means protecting them as you grow. ✔️Your perception is their reality and it's being shaped right now, whether you're paying attention or not.

He didn't just popularize the video sales letter. He invented it. The format that now generates over $14 billion a year in revenue, that was Jon Benson. But the thing he's most obsessed with has nothing to do with tactics. It's this: you never have to lie in your copy. You just have to be brave enough to tell the entire truth. Jon Benson is a copywriter, AI pioneer, and the inventor of the Video Sales Letter. In this conversation, he and George unpack what it actually means to write from your values, why compelling always beats convincing, how to use AI without losing your human voice, and why the businesses that last are the ones built on genuine connection, not persuasion tricks. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why selling to everyone is a scarcity mindset and what to do instead The difference between compelling and convincing (and why one is manipulation) How to turn any feature into a benefit with two words: "so you can" Why your values, embedded in your copy, attract the exact buyers you want How Jon uses AI to write copy that sounds exactly like him, on his best day The human element Jon insists on inside every AI-powered product he builds What the rise of AI is actually doing to buyer demand for connection The free tool Jon built to help you find your buyer profile and value language Key Takeaways: ✔️If you have to convince someone, you're manipulating them. If you compel them, you're leveraging what they already hold to be true. One builds trust. One erodes it. ✔️Selling to everyone means resonating with no one. Narrow your avatar to one person, their values will seep into your copy naturally. ✔️The "so you can" formula: add it to any feature and your brain has to complete the benefit. That's where emotion lives. ✔️Values embedded in copy aren't obvious to the reader, they're felt. The right person can't explain why your copy speaks to them. They just know it does. ✔️AI gives you leverage, but it gives back exactly the quality of knowledge you put in. You still have to know what good copy feels like to direct it. ✔️The human component isn't optional. Jon does live coaching every Friday with Benson members because without it, a tool is just a tool. ✔️As AI automates more, buyer demand for genuine human connection increases. Buying cycles are getting longer, relationship is the difference. ✔️The telltale signs of bad AI copy: em dashes everywhere, three rhetorical questions in a row, and no tension. Learn to spot them. Then fix them. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The man who invented the VSL and the copy philosophy behind it [01:20] — Welcome: decades at the forefront of copy, marketing, and now AI [03:52] — Why this AI moment is not a phase and what it means for your business [07:00] — Compelling vs. convincing: the distinction that changes everything [08:00] — Writing to one person: how Agora does it and why it works [12:35] — Values in copy: how they attract ideal buyers without being obvious [14:00] — The "so you can" framework: turning features into emotional benefits [18:00] — Copy audit: the questions to ask before anything goes live [30:00] — Why Jon still writes manually despite building the best AI copy tool [39:00] — AI and knowledge: why what you put in determines what you get out [42:00] — Humanized AI and why live coaching is non-negotiable inside BNSN [46:00] — Buying cycles are expanding and human connection is why [52:00] — How Jon trained his AI clone Isaac on 20 years of his own emails [58:00] — Em dashes, rhetorical questions, and the telltale signs of bad AI copy [1:02:00] — Free buyer profile tool and where to find Jon [1:04:00] — George's closing: communication is a required life skill, keep the muscle sharp Connect with Jon Benson: Jon Benson is the inventor of the Video Sales Letter, a copywriter, entrepreneur, and AI pioneer.

June 17th, 2014. George became a New York Times bestselling author. He'd worked toward it for two years. Had it written in a contract with his coach. Left a party thrown in his honor because he felt absolutely nothing. Not relief. Not arrival. Just: what's next? If you've ever hit the thing and still felt empty, this episode is for you. A false summit is when you crest a ridge thinking you've reached the top, only to find another peak above you. In business, it happens constantly. In this solo episode, George breaks down why hitting your goals still leaves you hollow, who's actually moving the goalpost, and the three-question summit audit that tells you whether you're climbing your mountain or someone else's. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What a false summit is and why it's the most accurate metaphor for entrepreneurship Why you are the one moving the goalpost (and the surprising reason why) The difference between achievement and arrival and why they're not the same thing Why most entrepreneurs aren't chasing success, they're running from something The one question Sean Swarner asks that brings people to tears on Kilimanjaro The three-question summit audit to run right now How to define "enough" and why that definition changes everything Key Takeaways: ✔️Achievement without arrival is exhaustion with a good story. Collecting milestones without feeling them isn't growth, it's accumulation. ✔️You move the goalpost. Not the market, not the industry. You. Because as long as there's always somewhere to get to, you never have to ask whether this is truly what you want. ✔️Sitting feels dangerous when momentum gives us the illusion of safety. So our brain moves the bar before we can stop and feel whether we actually got there. ✔️Most entrepreneurs stop chasing their own definition of success and start performing what success looks like for other people, slowly, subtly, without noticing. ✔️The gap between fulfillment and achievement is not a strategy problem. It's an alignment problem. Specifically: the gap between what you say you want and what you actually want. ✔️If nobody was watching, nobody knew, and you were doing it alone, would you still want to climb this mountain? The answer tells you everything. ✔️The only guaranteed finish line is death. The question is: what are you climbing toward in the life you have right now? ✔️The summit audit: three questions to ask yourself: What feeling do you expect when you hit your next milestone? Is that the feeling you actually want, or the one others want you to have? And if everything else was stripped away, what would enough feel like in your body? Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — The false summit: what mountains do and what entrepreneurship does [01:30] — June 17th, 2014: a NYT bestseller and the feeling that never came [05:00] — Why we think the goalpost moves on its own and why that's wrong [08:00] — The real reason we keep moving the bar: sitting feels dangerous [11:00] — What happens when you never define "enough" [14:00] — How we slip from our why into performing success for other people [18:00] — The applause comes, but it doesn't feel like anything.

George disappeared from the internet for three years. When he came back, he found an entire Reddit thread:  a community of people genuinely unsure if he was still alive. He had no idea it existed. And that's exactly the point. Your online reputation is working for you or against you right now. Whether you're watching it or not. John Horn is the CEO of StubGroup, a top Google Premier Partner agency that has generated over half a billion dollars in client revenue. In this conversation, he and George break down what online reputation actually is in 2026, how AI has permanently raised the stakes, and the simple actions every business owner can take today to make sure what people find online matches who they actually are. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why your online reputation is the first thing a prospect sees and why most owners have no idea what it looks like How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are surfacing old reviews you forgot existed The 80/20 approach to managing your presence without spreading yourself thin Why responding to every review (good and bad) is one of the highest-ROI things you can do The "painting vs. garden" strategy for platforms you no longer actively use How to audit your curb appeal and what to fix first The ethical approach to paid ads that builds trust instead of eroding it Why the buying cycle is never linear and how to control what prospects find at every touchpoint Key Takeaways: ✔️Perception is reality. You can do the best work in the world, but if your online presence doesn't reflect it, prospects will never give you the chance to prove it. ✔️Google your own name, then Google your name plus "reviews." Be surprised. Then fix it. ✔️AI is surfacing reviews from 2014. Negative reviews you forgot about are being cited by ChatGPT and Gemini right now as part of prospect research. ✔️Respond to every review, especially the positive ones. Two minutes per review. Massive signal to prospects that you're human, present, and you care. ✔️Don't delete inactive social profiles, turn them into paintings. Update the bio, pin a redirect post, and let them quietly direct traffic where you actually exist. ✔️You don't have to be everywhere. Pick one platform to anchor your reviews. Monitor where Google surfaces everything else. Show up just enough to demonstrate you're alive. ✔️Ethical marketing means your online presence and your actual client experience are the same thing. Inconsistency is the trap. ✔️The buying journey is not linear. Someone may find your Facebook page at 10pm after a movie. What they see at that moment sets the tone.

2,000 videos in his YouTube watch later playlist. 20 open AI chats with perfect plans. A legal pad full of ideas that never get touched. And a client on the phone with 34 bullet points, things they "needed to figure out" before making a single decision. This episode is George calling himself out, and calling you in. The clarity you're looking for is not in the next podcast, the next book, or the next framework. It never was. In this solo episode, George breaks down the overconsumption trap, why more information creates more confusion, and where clarity actually lives and how to find it. This one stacks directly with the last two solo episodes on capacity and concrete action. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why consuming more content is keeping you stuck, not moving you forward The pattern George sees in every coaching call and lives himself Why clarity is not a destination, and what to stop waiting for The real reason smart entrepreneurs can't make decisions (it's not information) What "wiping the window" looks like in practice How to create the space where clarity actually lives Why the next step teaches you more than the next 100 hours of content ever could Key Takeaways: ✔️Exhaustion in entrepreneurship usually isn't from working too hard. It's from thinking too hard about working. ✔️The clarity you're looking for is not hiding in more information. It's hiding in the space between consumption. ✔️Consuming 200 hours of content in six months won't make the decision for you, every new piece of information just adds a new variable. ✔️The answer you're looking for is almost always something you already know. What's missing is permission to trust it and courage to act on it. ✔️Clarity is not a moment, it's a pursuit. You wipe the window, take action, wipe it again. The moment it's spotless, a car drives through a puddle. Keep wiping. ✔️Getting quiet is not a productivity hack. It's the only place your real answers live. ✔️Fear lives underneath most clarity searches. What if it doesn't work? What if they don't like it? That's the real thing being avoided, not the missing information ✔️One step toward what you already know will teach you more than 100 more hours of content ever could. ✔️Nobody can hold your clarity for you. Not your team, not your clients, not your coach. You have to own it.

He had 16 years in the corporate world. The career, the salary, the title, the network. And the whole time, the voice got louder. So he walked away, to spend his days teaching high school kids how to invest, network, and interview. The skills school skips and life punishes you for not knowing. The gap between knowing and doing is almost never about information. This episode is about what it actually is. Alex Dripchak is the founder of the Commence Foundation, a 2x published author, and one of the most practical productivity thinkers George has had on this show. In this conversation, they unpack why knowledge without application is a liability, how habits actually form, and the simple systems that turn intention into consistent action. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The three biggest reasons people fail to act, even when they want to change Why 18 days is the minimum, 66 is the average, and 254 is the long haul for real habits How to build a hurricane-proof why that holds when motivation runs out Alex's prioritization system for turning books into applied knowledge The marble jar method: a dead-simple way to make habits visible and stick Why excellent beats exact and when chasing perfect is the real productivity problem How to audit your goals quarterly before they become guilt trips Key Takeaways: ✔️Missing once is an accident. Missing twice is the start of a new habit. Most people track their streaks, almost nobody tracks their misses. ✔️The only real safeguard to success is starting early. Whatever the skill, compound interest applies. ✔️Knowledge that isn't applied isn't an asset, it's a liability. Shelf help doesn't help anyone. ✔️Reps plus emotional charge is what makes anything stick. Emotion is the glue, not the motivation. ✔️Excellent is greater than exact. Chasing perfection is often just a productivity disguise for avoidance. ✔️If you couldn't tell anyone you were doing something for the rest of your life, would you still do it? That's the hurricane-proof why test. ✔️The marble jar: write the goal on the jar, drop a marble in for every completed rep, and spill the marbles out when you miss. Make the win visible and the loss inconvenient. ✔️A prescription is only as effective as the person's willingness to take it on schedule.

“In a world of algorithms, relationships become a competitive advantage.” — Dr. Ivan MisnerThat quote has been stuck in my mind.We're living in a time where it's easier than ever to get your message out to people. AI can write, social media can distribute, and technology allows one person to reach thousands or even millions of people.But something else is happening at the same time.As the world becomes increasingly artificial, authenticity becomes increasingly valuable.Gary Vaynerchuk, the entrepreneur who's leveraged digital communication to build a business empire generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and a global brand, is also seeing this shift. I don't believe digital communication and analog communication are competing with each other. I believe they're two tools that are most powerful when they reinforce one another.That led me to sketch out a simple mental model.The goal of communication isn't likes, followers, impressions, or even awareness.The goal is trust.Digital communication is incredible at helping us go wide. It creates awareness at a scale that has never been possible before.Analog communication—conversations over coffee, networking events, church, one-to-one meetings, dinner with friends—is where we go deep. That's where trust is earned.But here's what has fascinated me, and what I've experienced and led me to creating the Strong Com framework. When you meet someone in person, every future piece of digital content carries more weight because it comes from someone they know.Likewise, when someone has followed your work online for months, the first time you meet in person often feels less like meeting a stranger and more like reconnecting with someone familiar.Digital reinforces analog.Analog reinforces digital.Neither replaces the other.They compound.That's why I continue coming back to the three ideas that have shaped so much of my thinking:Communication creates awareness.Community creates trust.Trust builds stronger companies.That's the Strong Com framework.Whether you're building a business, leading a team, creating content, or simply trying to become someone others can depend on, I hope this framework gives you another way to think about how trust is built.I'd love to know what you think about the model I share in the video.I'm still refining it, and your perspective may help shape where it goes next.If you think it could help someone out, share it with a friend!

You sit down to work on your business, not in it, but on it. Two hours later you have a 14-page Google Doc, a color-coded spreadsheet, and a project management system you've never opened before. And you haven't done a single thing that moves the needle. That's not preparation. That's procrastination with lipstick on it. Over-planning is fear in disguise and it's the number one thing keeping smart entrepreneurs stuck. In this solo episode, George breaks down why concrete actions always beat elaborate strategies, the real cost of waiting until you feel ready, and the simple 24-hour rule that breaks the planning loop for good. This one pairs directly with last week's 3M capacity episode. Together, they're a daily execution playbook. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why over-planning is procrastination dressed up and how to spot it in yourself The Jeff Bezos 70% rule: why waiting for certainty kills momentum The three things small concrete actions give you that strategies never can Why clarity comes after action, not before it The 24-hour rule: one question that breaks any planning loop How to separate ideas worth pursuing from ones that only sound good on paper Why the market, not your Google Doc, is the only thing that gives you real data Key Takeaways: ✔️A perfect plan you never execute is just a very expensive journal entry. ✔️19% of businesses fail due to weak execution, not bad ideas, bad products, or bad markets. ✔️Most decisions should be made with about 70% of the information you wish you had. Waiting for 100% means the moment passes and the fear grows. ✔️Small, concrete actions create three things strategies never do: feedback, momentum, and clarity. ✔️Clarity is not a prerequisite for action. It is almost always a byproduct of it. You cannot think your way into clarity, you act your way into it. ✔️The 24-hour rule: anytime you find yourself over-planning, ask one question, what's the one thing I can do in the next 24 hours that gives me a piece of data to know if this is worth pursuing? ✔️Over-planning beyond a reasonable window is never about being thorough. There's usually something underneath it, fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of finding out. ✔️The market is the only one that decides if you win. Build the feedback loop with them, not around them. ✔️Stack this with the 3M model from last episode: must move, must maintain, must release. Together they're a daily execution system.

There's a fear nobody talks about in entrepreneurship and it's not failure. It's trying your absolute hardest and finding out you can't. So instead of finding out, most people coast. They stay comfortable inside their natural ability and tell themselves they'll go all in when the timing is better. Khalil Zahar decided he'd rather know. What followed was 12 years of building FightCamp, through reinventions, market shifts, and a post-COVID hangover that would have ended most companies. Not because he had it all figured out. Because he stayed in the game long enough to figure it out. Khalil Zahar is the co-founder of FightCamp, a boxing and martial arts training platform combining AI motion tech, world-class coaching, and a product suite built over 12 years. In this conversation, he and George go deep on perseverance, reinvention, what it means to redefine success mid-journey, and how to stay in the game long enough for it to actually work. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why the fear of trying is the only real thing standing between you and your potential How coasting quietly becomes the biggest threat to any entrepreneur What 12 years of building FightCamp taught Khalil about reinvention vs. staying the course How Khalil rebuilt the product, the business model, and himself, multiple times, without losing the company Why misalignment kills businesses before anything else does How to define success in a way that keeps you in the game for decades Why entrepreneurship is an endurance sport and how to train for it Key Takeaways: ✔️The only way to lose in entrepreneurship is to quit. The company can only die if you stop working on it. ✔️Entrepreneurs are not people who avoid finding out. They're the ones who'd rather know. ✔️Two-thirds of businesses fail before year ten and the number one reason is misalignment, not funding, not market fit. You quit because it stopped mattering. ✔️Coasting has two versions: rest (necessary) and unchallenged (dangerous). Know which one you're in. ✔️Money, followers, and top-line revenue are not fuel. They're fleeting. Meaning is the only thing that sustains a decade. ✔️Success evolves. Trying to run a 12-year company on the same definition of success you had at year two will break you. ✔️Reinvention isn't starting over. It's staying honest about what's working and what needs to change, while keeping the business alive. ✔️How can I be happy working very hard for a long time? That question is your north star. When you drift from it, that's where people quit.

Two days ago, George's notepad had four or five items on it. Today he's on page four. That's not a productivity problem. It's a capacity awareness problem. And this morning, he woke up spiraling, called six friends, got through to four and still had to show up and record. So he did what he always does. He triaged. Your to-do list is not the problem. Your relationship with your capacity is. In this punchy solo episode, George breaks down the exact triage framework he used this morning to move from overwhelm to momentum, the 3M Model: Must Move, Must Maintain, Must Release. Plus a 60-second capacity check you can run right now. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why your to-do list is built on fiction and what to replace it with The difference between a time management problem and a capacity awareness problem The 3M Model explained: Must Move, Must Maintain, Must Release The 60-second capacity check to run before touching any task list Why decision fatigue, not distraction, is costing small business owners 3 full weeks a year How to find the one task that makes your whole day feel like a win Why saying no to your list is saying yes to what actually moves the needle Key Takeaways: ✔️A to-do list is a wish list until it's filtered through your capacity for that day. Capacity isn't just time, it's energy, emotional bandwidth, focus, and context. ✔️Small business owners lose an average of 96 minutes of productivity daily to decision fatigue, not distraction. That's three full weeks per year. ✔️Must Move: high-energy tasks tied directly to revenue or relationships. Only you can do these. They go first, before the day punches you in the face. ✔️Must Maintain: low-to-medium energy operational tasks. They matter, but they cannot bleed into your must-move time or you'll burn through your best capacity on admin. ✔️Must Release: things that shouldn't be on your list at all. Not procrastination, intentional deletion or delegation. Guilt is not a valid reason for a task to exist. ✔️The most important question in the capacity check: what's the one thing that, if I did it today, I'd feel like I made progress? Everything else gets filtered through that. ✔️The goal is never to do more. It's to do the right things at the right time with the energy you actually have. ✔️36% of entrepreneurs say mental health challenges disrupt their work week. Most of that stress isn't the work, it's the gap between what you think you should accomplish and what you have capacity for. ✔️Momentum comes from getting ruthlessly honest about what deserves you today. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — Page four of the notepad, spiraling at 6am, and why this episode had to happen [01:07] — When a to-do list stops being a tool and starts feeling like evidence of failure [03:00] — The stat: 96 minutes of lost productivity daily from decision fatigue [05:00] — Capacity isn't just time: energy, emotional bandwidth, focus, and context explained [07:30] — Why treating all tasks as equal is the trap and what it actually costs you [09:30] — Introducing the 3M Model: Must Move, Must Maintain, Must Release [11:00] — Must Move: high-energy, revenue and relationship tasks that only you can do [13:00] — Must Maintain: operational tasks that keep things running in a separate window [15:00] — Must Release: the honest bucket for deletion, delegation, and saying no [17:00] — The 60-second capacity check: three questions to ask before touching your list [19:30] — George's real-time example: running the model on his own page-four list [21:30] — How to block your one must-move item and protect it [22:30] — The invitation: run it right now, then send George your name for the model Your Challenge This Week: Pull out your list right now.

At the Boston Marathon, Brent was drowning. Miles from the finish. Physically spent. Mentally gone. He screamed at his brother: "Are you going to race with me today?" Kyle can't push the pedals. Brent can't find the finish line without him. That's not a limitation. That's the entire point. Brent and Kyle Pease have completed Ironmans, marathons, and the Ironman World Championship in Kona, together. But this conversation goes far beyond racing. It's about what 15 years of partnership, mission, and asking for help actually teaches you about leadership, trust, and building something that serves more than yourself. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a childhood Challenger Baseball moment became the blueprint for everything they built What it really means to race as a "we" and how that translates to business Why motivation follows action, not the other way around What emotional maturity had more to do with breaking records than training The leadership definitions from Brent and Kyle that replace 35 books How to navigate obstacles by shrinking the world cone by cone Why asking for help is a competitive advantage, not a weakness How the Kyle Pease Foundation's employment program is redefining meaningful work for people with disabilities Key Takeaways: ✔️"I borrowed his legs. He borrowed my spirit." Neither can finish without the other and that's not a weakness. It's the model. ✔️Motivation follows action. It's fickle after a rah-rah speech. It's lasting when you create movement first. ✔️Leadership isn't the loudest voice. It's the willingness to be vulnerable, listen before speaking, and get out of the way so others can rise. ✔️Asking for help is a daily practice. Kyle has done it every day of his life out of necessity and it's the single most powerful lesson he's given the people around him. ✔️Shrink the world. In an Ironman, in a nonprofit, in a business, you don't run 140.6 miles. You run to the next cone. ✔️You're not building it for yourself. From day one, someone told them: congratulations, you're in business now, for somebody else. That became their north star. ✔️Everyone has a team. Even a solopreneur has a team, it's just your spouse, your kids, your church, the people who believe in you. ✔️Every step you take matters to more than just you.

A three-year-old boy. Yellow t-shirt. Alone in a pediatric cancer ward in Uganda. His family had just dropped him off and left. That moment wasn't a business plan. It wasn't a strategy. It was a calling. And from it, Letha Sandison built a cause-based clothing line to fund chemotherapy for kids before cause-based brands even existed. Then she came home and built a wellness community rooted in the same question: how can I be of service? Letha Sandison is the founder of Four Moons Spa in Encinitas, California, a wellness sanctuary built on belonging, community, and values-led entrepreneurship.  In this conversation, she and George trace her journey from Uganda to California, from nonprofit to wellness playground, and unpack what it actually looks like to build a business and a life by following what genuinely calls you. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a single moment in a Ugandan cancer ward became the foundation of a career Why a strong enough "why" is what carries you through when entrepreneurship stops feeling good What living in Uganda taught Letha about community, gratitude, and perspective The "onion days and strawberry days" framework for navigating hardship How values function as a living operating system, not words on a wall Why collaboration over competition is her best business decision How to sit with setbacks before rushing to fix them The three pillars George distills from the conversation: why, service, and community Key Takeaways: ✔️Following curiosity and passion isn't naive, it's a navigational system. The businesses that last are built on something that calls you, not something that's trending. ✔️Your why has to create an emotion, not just a logical statement. If you can't feel it, it won't carry you through the hard parts. ✔️Service isn't a marketing angle. It's the reason Letha's businesses have lasted across continents and decades. ✔️Onion days are real. You don't shift them by pretending they aren't hard. You sit in them, feel them fully, and make decisions from the other side. ✔️Values are only as real as how you use them. They live in decisions, product choices, team conversations, and what you choose not to do. ✔️Community is not a nice-to-have. It's a survival mechanism: in Uganda, in business, and in life. ✔️Perspective is the difference between your prison and your power. It doesn't mean you smile through hard things. It means you choose how you operate inside of them. ✔️Revenue is a byproduct. It always comes after an equal sign. Focus on who you're serving and the math takes care of itself. ✔️Misalignment is the number one reason businesses fail past a decade. The fix isn't more strategy, it's more honesty about your why, your service, and your community.

Mark Jones sits down with Jason Smith, publisher of San Antonio Real Producers, to talk about what actually moves the needle in real estate and small business growth when social media gets loud and trust gets scarce.We get into why print marketing is still effective when it is niche, community-driven, and tied to a real person's reputation. Jason shares lessons from building a neighborhood publication in The Dominion, where purchasing decisions are intentional and relationships matter. Then we zoom out to the San Antonio real estate market and why the pandemic created a surprising gap: top agents stayed productive while professional camaraderie and vendor access fell apart.Jason explains how Real Producers helps solve that gap by spotlighting top-producing agents, telling real stories, and hosting private events that put the right people in the same room. We also go deeper into the personal side: coaching, closing loops, rebuilding after setbacks, and a four-part framework for growth built on character, clarity, courage, and competence.

Have you ever thought of how someone map's out the customer journey from an expert's perspective? Do you know why it matters? Are you curious about how to build on it? First, you have to understand why it matters, and it matters over everything else.George Bryant is a New York Times Best Selling Author, Podcast Host & one of the most highly sought after digital marketing consultants in the world to teach his Relationships Beat Algorithms™ approach to business. He has helped hundreds of the largest companies in the world and thousands of entrepreneurs ethically scale their businesses by deepening their relationships with their customers and creating transformational breakthroughs that help them accomplish their goals. He believes a company's financial success is directly dependent on the amount of value they share before AND after a purchase. Business is about relationships & touch points. The companies who put relationships before transactions will win. That is the Relationships Beat Algorithms approach.This week's Healthcare Hacks and Connection, Nathan Navas and George Bryant will talk to you about How to utilize content as a tool, to help people achieve the result that gives them the ability to opt for or monetize it.They will touch on such topics as:Pick a destination: a first moment where a transaction happens in an automated relationship.Everybody thinks the content is the magic, but the context delivered is the magic.The content itself is identical.Content helps people move closer to you by knowing, liking, and trusting you. People think that the customer's journey ends the moment the transaction is completed, but that's the day the customer's journey starts.No one has built a successful and profitable business based on not getting results.You never stop something that actually works.Anything in your business that is accidental is guaranteed to fail.Hack: Winning a customer's journey is not always about having the correct answers; it always has the right next step, even if it's not you.P.S.

It's something I remind myself of often. And sometimes we just need an episode or five minutes to come back to.  What you'll learn How to quickly get grounded in 30 secondsThe one thing to make you win.Taking action of how you feelFavorite Quote:  Commitment Isn't FeelingsConnect with George BryantMindofGeorge.comInstagram - @itsgeorgebryant

"Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows." - Ben Stein"I believe that you can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." - Zig ZiglarGeorge Bryant is a digital marketing expert who believes in the power of relationship-building in marketing, but he had to fix his relationship with himself before he could figure that out.He talks openly now of stories of abuse – both physical and sexual, of driving his father's Harley Davidson through the door of a shed at four years old, of violence, bullying, self-harm, eating disorders… screaming for attention, screaming for validation, desperate to feel loved, desperate to just feel.His story from there is one he recounts as a cycle of not feeling good enough, driving himself physically harder than should be humanly possible just to prove his worth, and then sabotaging his progress. Only to repeat that process again.It took 30 years for George to realize the answer he was searching for. 30 years to begin to fix what was broken within himself, what most of us never even recognize, let alone face head-on.Today, George shares with us how relationships beat algorithms. Relationships with ourselves, team, and customers.

I'm going to track what's going on. I'm going to track it. And I kept calendar. Cause I just, I watched my skinny friends and I felt like I was doing the exact same things as them. And here I'm like bigger, and then the doctors reinforced my thoughts that it was harder for me with all the things that they said. then I rated my meals in a one to one to five and every meal was terrible. I wasn't working. I felt like I was working out all the time, but I was almost trying to work out for 10 minutes by running down the block.And then it was too hot and I would come back home once a month. Never thought that I could be tricking myself in that way. And it all roads lead back to our brain and mindset. And I always used to be so annoyed by anybody talking that's going to be about mindset meditation, all the things that now I'm so into, but starting that first camp, I just became obsessed. I get obsessed with things and I was obsessed with obstacle courses and I was watching kids at a playground to one time. And I was like, if I could have fun working out, then I would do it. And somehow it turned into just being miserable every day with people. But I had a lot of things going on mentally. And after the two hours of. Torture. I would feel better every time. And so for that first year, people would come, they would never show up again, but I lost the weight because it was the first time I had ever been consistent. So a lot of roads lead back to mindset, a lot of roads lead back to marketing and finding my people. And so I went on  to Fox five. And I told them that channel three, it challenged them to not school coursework out nights.I stopped coaching and I started running the business and I would get giant like corporate team buildings together. And I would run those, but obviously you're not going to take we had Patrona and Paul Mitchell, we're not going to take his people. And he was so gung ho, he was going on all the obstacles and just killing it. But so that was when the shift happened and when the pandemic hit, like people used to love my old style.We don't do it anymore. Now we take care of people. Like we want people to feel better. We want to help them. And you still get the benefits, the same benefits of exercise. That's good for you as you do. I like the torture and the telephone poles, and if anyone puts it down, we're going to do a hundred burpees. You still get the same benefit, but I did work out fundraisers back in the first recession. And and I brought it back again for people who had to quit because they couldn't afford their membership at the gym because of the pandemic. And I was like, we're going to do old school. Cause people ask me for old school all the time.And I did this workout fundraiser and it was supposed to be old school. We're just coming back from a pandemic. They don't need to have the old, you want to hear the old way? I used to introduce myself.Okay. So let's say you're brand new, right? You're brand new. I w I wouldn't really talk to you till we got started. For some reason, I don't know. Maybe I'd seen it somewhere, so then I'd be like, all right, guys, time to get started, gather up. So you're George, right? I'm like, okay, what's your name?George. I'm Julie. Nice to meet you. Here's the rules of bootcamp, no walking, no whining. Go to the bathroom and get water anytime you want, but just run their work as hard as you can, as long as you can. And as long as you're miserable, then I'm happy. Let's do the mile warmup. That was it. And people stayed for a year for years. But then I got this email, I got this email and this girl emailed me and she said, and it was the first time that anybody ever told me. And she said, I need to cancel because on my, and so our marketing said, this is going to be the most miserable thing you've ever done, where the toughest if you're late, you have to do push-ups. If you whine, you're going to be kicked out. There's no whining, right? There's no. And she emailed me and she said, I read the rules, but I just I felt so bad about myself that first day. And I felt so alone. And you didn't even introduce like yourself to me, you just told me like the rules and to go run a mile.And she's I guess I'm just not tough enough. And I'm so sorry. She was apologizing. And my heart freaking broke and then Mike customer journey was made. And then I started just like caring, like over caring for people. And I think, I felt like. I just felt like before, like they needed the drill instructor and a lot, a lot of them benefited and loved it.you get to a certain point where you have this reputation. And then everybody, like they can beat you, but they have it in their head that they can't because of the stories. And so then I would just sprint past people, holding my breath and tell them good job. And they would just cry. And I'm like, you could have beaten me. the problem is it wasn't enough? Like it was never enough. And so once we got to 24 hours out in the elements with our rucks and doing the 24 hour challenges and killing and eating a rattlesnake and , where does this end and the moment where I was at.So I have, I'm always at my parent's house or with my brothers, and I'm always excited about something. And I was excited because my members were excited about an idea I had and the idea was to do a hell weekend. And it was where and I was always up front about everything miserable. And I thought that I was like, okay, I told him, Hey, sign up for it.And so I wanted to do a whole weekend where we picked everyone up in a bus, they had a list of the things that they needed. They didn't know where they were going. And we were going to have a bell. And my dad said some of the wisest words he's ever said to me, he said, you're going to take your best clients. Like your absolute best ones, the ones who you've changed their lives, they're a team like you have the comradery, like they're happy, they're healthy and you're going to go hurt them. Yup. Yup. Because these are not 18 year old men in the military. These are tough. All my rhinos are freaking tough. They are so tough. They mentally tough. They love each other. They're just fierce. And they would have done it and they, they would have done it until their body's broken. Luckily, my body broke because I was the leader. I was doing four times as much as anybody. So luckily my body broke, ended up in the hospital.They said that I was close to kidney failure or whatever. With the rhabdo. And that was when I was like, Oh, okay. Like I want to live. . But I was still miserable because I was still eating like crap. Like I eat like crap for the first 11 years of owning my gyms and my fitness businesses. And whenever someone would try to tell me to eat healthier, I would be like, let's go race right now. Let's go. I had never been in like a wall sit or a six inch hold. Like the things that were long and miserable. I had never been beaten out.So for those of you guys listening. George Bryant mastermind come to his in-person event. It's okay. If you hate the first two days, don't you dare leave. Cause the third one I was writing in my journal and I'm like day one. Okay. I don't remember day one, day two. I didn't like it, but there were these unveilings of absolute genius on day two and then day three, because of the work of the first two days, because of that work. That's when day three's amazing ideas came out and I was in the hot seat in, I told everybody my dream for my gyms and everybody was just throwing out ideas.And I believe it was Brad Costanzo who said, what, if you did a workout and we're doing this is why I'm talking about it. We're going to do it. You had a workout where you had. Guest speakers and maybe they rotate and everyone's working out and you have the speaker motivating you while you're working out and it would be speed.And then you said, speaker fit. And I said, it's happening? And I was just like jumping around. And then you started playing it was welcome to the jungle and the Rocky soundtrack was just so just, I have yep. Have the domain name where we're going for it. And but what was really cool about the last three days is I have built my perfect little world and I live in it and we were in an Airbnb and I had four other people who I had never met before. And we had three out of four nights, not enough sleep because of unforeseen things and, or eaten out, and it's snowing outside. So normally I just run down the street. No problem. Get my workout in. And so I've my routine's been rocked and it's been amazing because I've noticed that even when I don't have my standbys, the breath work, whenever you did the breathwork, I would be back. I would come in and I, I don't ever have a bad attitude. Partly like I, hi. I'm really excited about, just about everything all the time. I had some little bad attitudes and then you do the, luckily you'd start thing with breath work or else.And now we know that we can trust you that we just know it. And everybody that you bring in to the mastermind and to like, like the trust is there. So just anybody listening, they need to know that part. But up until 25, I was under the rule of other people. So I was like married, weird. Don't even want to talk about that. But when I hit 25, that's when the like freedom just, and that's why I'm so freaking happy all the time is because I know what it's like to not have for you to be under somebody's rule and to not get, to make my own decisions. And so now every day that I have a choice, I'm just so happy and so excited.Now it's more, towing, sleds, nice air conditioning with turf, but whatever. And then I have the Ninja warrior gym, my rhino Ninja gym, and I have two amazing ninjas running that.And we have the little, we have a little gym next door for five to seven year olds with all miniature, a little warped wall, miniature little thanks. We'll be there next year. And then I have eight to 13 year olds and then a 13 and over, and a topic for another day as Ninja warrior, as a sport that makes everybody just feel super powerful. And like little girls, like they can be in this sport that they're not judged on their bodies and in little leotards and things like that, like they're there. They're celebrated, their strength is celebrated and it's an individual sport, but it's actually a team sport because you're on a team and everyone on your team is rallying around you as you're in the spotlight. And everyone's yelling Lake beat that wall. Like it's just, it's so such a powerful thing. And I'm, I think Ninja warrior is the one thing that can beat out video games. If you have kids that are playing video games and you want them to be more active, my mom always said that video games kept her kids out of the streets. And so she loved it and we're in Vegas and the bad part of town. And so it was great that my brothers were doing that instead of other things. But Ninja warrior look in your town if you're not in Vegas and find one, cause kids that are interested in sports, they usually really get into Ninja.Take care of yourself, all of a sudden you have this love for yourself that expands to a love for humanity, unlike anything you have ever felt. And it's this energy that just courses through you and it's easier than you think it's so much easier than you think. It's just one, one thing done consistently drinking, more water, eating, more vegetables, moving for a minute a day. Doesn't have to be an hour. And those key, those consistent behaviors add up. And then all of a sudden you start doing more and more to make yourself feel better and better. And then all of a sudden, like you have a clarity to run your business. You, you want to just love on people. You're not irritated by people anymore. It's just the most incredible feeling in the world. And I didn't feel that feeling until 2000, 15, 11 years into running my business because I still hadn't taken care of myself. And then you add the meditation and it's just all amplified. It's just peaceful. There's no end game right now. Other than just being right here in this moment, it's just peace. And it's just happiness and love and joy and . And you guys can do it. It's closer than you think it's easier than you think.

Having those tight containers, having the team to help do some of that for me, has created so much space for me to enjoy life. It bought so much of my time back. So a lot has come through growing my business even lately from starting with adding the team members and creating some containers and opening up more space.  If you hire a team member and not knowing what they're supposed to do or what they should do, you're not going to get it. And I think a big mistake I see a lot is people try to hire out the outcome. They are not hired the outcome. They'd hire out the clarity. And instead of being like how could I get those or where they come from? They're like, Hey, let me pay you this money really ambiguously to try to generate something really ambiguously. So then I can get upset at you because I was so ambiguous, blame you, fire you and waste more money. You have to understand what your strengths are. And then you have to just implore either a team around you, people around you support around you that help reflect back the things that aren't really our skill sets.It's like the road to personal growth, where it be for ourselves and or our business. It is not a solo journey. If you get in that car and start driving, you are going to crash into a tree and maybe die. You got to have some passengers. You've got to have people in the back. You gotta have the what's, the NASCAR reference, the leader car. we all have a skill set. We all have expertise, we all have experience. And then we get into this trap of doesn't everybody have that? Hasn't everybody hosted an HGTV show or written scripts for television. Hasn't everybody done that I did it this morning. Like that literally you, we get into that trap. So when you want to step onto bigger stages or you want to get into bigger rooms, or you want to sit at bigger tables, you have to look at what your unique value proposition is. And while I know what mine is, I discredited it a lot or I sweep it under the table and I don't use it to my advantage. I don't think it's normal to want to promote yourself 24/7especially as entrepreneurs. But then I think the inverse is having, the relationship with is what gets the attention. This is what inspires people. This is what they're like. Wow. I can do that too.  Because every time we promote ourselves, every time we share our stories, every time we are willing to be like, this is who I am, of what I've done.We write permission, slips for other people to be like, God, I can do that. I think a lot of it is like understanding your strengths. Like one of my strengths in marketing and in business is my ability to play up in the clouds and think about things and then understand. There's really two ways to get the clarity is either you have to willingly land on the ground and be like, cool, I have to do it. Or you have to have a team or a process around yourself to allow you to ideate that process. All of our action comes from clarity in any stuckness stagnation, frustration. Anxiety is basically we have an energy or something to be given somewhere, but we don't know where to put it. this goes back to tight containers. Like once you start to understand where you're leaking and you have to just evaluate that you have to like, get really honest with yourself and figure out what are the tasks that as you call them, queen bee roles that I can't really outsource. so in the beginning I didn't do all that. I was just like, I literally was waiting for the VA to tell me what I needed. And so that was a horrible disastrous, couple of VA's that I went through. Not that they were bad VA's but I was a horrible boss. That's really what it was. And so finally it was looking at those things and actually writing down my tasks, like what the hell do I do every day. So that's how I started to create space in my business because I was doing all those things. So now that someone's in the business doing that for me, it's just created so much more space.One of the things that I struggled with a lot that I don't anymore was I was setting unrealistic expectations to my outsourcing. And so I had this like fear of letting go because I was like what if it's not perfect. In the beginning it is hard. Because this is your baby, especially as entrepreneurs, we've built this, these businesses from our head. You’ve built this business from your body. Like it comes out of us, and so it's hard to let go of that control in the beginning. And especially when, if you're a communicator, you have a certain voice, and I have, I've hired copywriters and people to come and do that thing for me before. And that's when I realized that's not where I need to outsource someone else. That may be where they need to outsource that. Wasn't it for me because I'm so particular about my voice and how it comes across. No one else can really do that for me. And that's important to me. So it could be a needle mover to outsource that, but I choose not to because I outsource other things. So you have to, I think there's some give and take in there. Yep. But you also have to learn to you have to indoctrinate your own team. You have to really show them, thank you, teach them and be patient with them and not have these high expectations.The expectation is that actually you actually have to be the leader and the CEO of your business, and you can't expect them to read your brain and be mind readers. They're not. And really evaluate that. And so once I started to realize those were all the mistakes that I made before when I didn't hire well. Then when I really made the commitment to make that change and do better. it's also not my team's job to own the vision of my business. Nope. Their job is to come in and they're like, I'm a part of the team I want to play. Just like we indoctrinate our customers customer journey. You have to give the team that same training. You don't indoctrinate your team by being like here's an SOP. Here's a boom. It's you got to get them into the culture. get them into the vision, and they have to feel a part of that vision. And they had to feel it from day one because I actually hired from that standpoint as you should. we're all out here playing a game and there's no guarantee you win the game, but there's always a guarantee that you can train with the right team and play with the right team and stay with the right team. You create a culture in your team and you're indoctrinated and you're like, this is the vision. This is where it is. And it sounds like then you give it to him and you're like, Hey, now you grow it. Like it's yours, you plant it, you water it, you make it better.What's the most important thing that they know they focus on? or that they can work on and really starting to unlock the power of their story? They're going to have to get really comfortable with being uncomfortable. They're going to have to get really comfortable with the idea that you're gonna have to tap into your vulnerability. You're gonna have to get really comfortable with this concept of being seen and heard. And that's people say they want to be seen in heart and innately. We do innately that we really is one of our biggest desires as humans is to truly be seen and heard.one of the big distinctions, even in business is the moment you own your story. And you really own it. Not judging it, not. And not advocating any result or consequence that came from it, but really being fully witnessed to it is when it gives you the greatest gift as a human being, which is the ability to be proactive and present and not reactive to the emotion. And I will tell you, in my opinion, one of the biggest ways for the fence to feel safe Is to acknowledge that I put the holes in the first place and that can only really come from fully owning the story. That's why there's a difference with people telling their story without emotion. And a lot of times people tell that story in chronological order and it reads like a resume. That is not a story. You're not telling us anything. And it's real, honestly, it's quite boring and nobody's going to listen to that. So the realness of it, the emotion of it, because the thing of it is to the story is we're on this planet. We play in a world where it's a global world, and there's people in your audience who speak multiple languages, different languages. They live in different countries. English is not their first language. They may not even speak English. We don't know. And that we come from different cultures and different backgrounds and different socioeconomic economic statuses and all those things. So those are all languages that we bring to the table, but we may not all speak them, but the one universal language we all speak is emotion. I know what happiness feels like. Sadness feels like fear, despair, all those things, joy. We know what that feels like. So if you can really tap into the emotion of your story, then first of all, you got to feel it. And that's why it's uncomfortable and vulnerable. And that's what people are hiding behind the most, by not telling their story.

On this episode, we talked about: Breaking barriers down, giving away everything, giving yourself a starting point, awareness is key, who I am is who I choose to be, willing to be seen, nobody is coming to save us, toxic thinking, getting clarity on what you want and so much more! "I realize that I didn't have the emotional capacity to have attention and to grow at the same time" "Things get real the moment it goes from the "I want to be this" to "I am being this" "You can't give from an empty tank: you can give your abundance but you have to be full"   About George: George Bryant is a New York Times Best Selling Author, Podcast Host & one of the most highly sought after digital marketing consultants in the world to teach his Relationships Beat Algorithms™ approach to business.

When someone who gets flown out & paid $100,000 for a weekend consultation gives you advice, it's wise to pay attention.George Bryant is the world's highest-paid marketing consultant and has grown 2 companies to a billion, and others to 100 million.I personally have paid for George's info products and they are some of the highest quality courses I have ever consumed and his aim is the "break the online course space" by providing so much value that no one else can make money.In this episode of the Danny Carlson Podcast, we dive not into marketing "hacks" that will disappear next year, but the core foundations of building successful brands and the human psychology behind it.Join George Bryant's Facebook Group: (tell him you found him from Danny)https://www.facebook.com/groups/georgebryanthttps://mindofgeorge.com/
