You've probably thought about writing a memoir — that secret urge to turn your mess, your milestones, or your middle-of-the-night realizations into something real. Then the voices start: Who am I to write a book? My story isn't big enough. I don't have time. This episode is for every overthinker who's stopped themselves mid-dream. Because the truth? The story you think is too ordinary might be the one that changes someone's life.Fan-favorite Cindy Robinson is back, and she's living proof that writing a memoir isn't about perfection — it's about liberation. Her new book Maladaptive Daydreams is a poetic reflection of what it means to unmask, make peace with your own story, and write without performing.

Most women cringe when they hear the word sales. It feels slimy, pushy, and completely out of alignment with who we are. But what if sales wasn't about pressure at all—what if it was simply about conversations, connection, and service?In this episode of Her Faith at Work, I sit down with Stefani Pady, founder of Women, Worship and Work and GLS Coaching and Consulting.

What if your smartwatch or wearable ring could reveal how stress, sleep, and lifestyle choices are silently shaping your bone health? In this episode of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Torkil Færø, a Norwegian physician, documentary filmmaker, author of The Pulse Cure, and expert on heart rate variability (HRV).Dr. Færø explains how wearables can go far beyond step counts — they can show us how well our body is handling stress and whether we're truly recovering.

By paying attention to recovery markers like HRV and supporting your body with sleep, nutrition, and sunlight, you can build a stronger foundation for the years ahead.

How Scientists and PMs Really Build: Dr. Christina Agapakis with Rina AlexinA synthetic biologist who became a creative and marketing leader? Yes, please. In this kickoff to Season 4, Dr. Christina Agapakis (Founder, Oscillator; former SVP Creative & Marketing at Ginkgo Bioworks) joins Productside CEO Rina Alexin to explore the messy, very human loop between research, product, and story. From lab benches to launch plans, we talk silos, funding models, and the art of “staying with the trouble” when the real world refuses your neat roadmap.Key Topics Discussed in This EpisodeThe science ↔ product tangle (not a pipeline):Christina explains why discovery isn't a tidy flowchart—it's a back-and-forth hairball of hypotheses, constraints, and collaboration that looks suspiciously like modern product discovery. Funding, impact, and translating research:Who pays shapes what gets built. We dig into grants, incentives, and new models (e.g., focused research orgs) that bridge lab breakthroughs to useful products without pretending it's frictionless.Personas for molecules vs. people:Scientists often model cells; PMs model users. Christina makes the case for bringing real human context into upstream work—and why clear stories beat sterile slides when stakes are high.Why Listen to This Episode?In this thought-provoking episode, you'll gain: A fresh mental model for discovery that treats research like product (small bets, fast feedback). Tactics for working across silos without losing craft (or outcome). Language to translate messy reality into narratives stakeholders actually act on. A reminder to “stay with the trouble” when ambiguity spikes and why that's where impact lives. If you build things for humans (or with humans), this conversation will sharpen your process and your story.Related ResourcesCheck out these additional tools and resources to add to your PM belt: Productside Resource Library More Productside Stories Podcast Episodes Explore Productside Courses

In this episode, I'm joined again by my co-host, Demetrius (“D") Parker, as we continue our Coworker Chemistry series. Last time, we looked at the high-energy types (3, 7, and 8). This week, we shift gears to talk about another powerful trio: Types 1, 2, and 6, commonly known as the dutiful types.These three strategies bring such a strong sense of responsibility and group cohesion to their work and teams, though they each express it in different ways. In our conversation, we covered:Type 1 (Striving to Feel Perfect): integrity, high standards, and the pressure of an inner critic.Type 2 (Striving to Feel Connected): empathy, connection, and the challenge of people-pleasing.Type 6 (Striving to Feel Secure): loyalty, risk-awareness, and the courage it takes to ask hard questions.We also dig into how these types can complement one another, where they might clash, and what growth looks like for each...from turning “the way” into “a way,” to setting clear boundaries, to transforming fear into collaboration.Whether you identify with a 1, 2, or 6 (or work with someone who does), I think you'll find this episode full of both practical insights and real-life examples you can take back to your team.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeThe strengths and blind spots of Types 1, 2, and 6.Why these types are often the backbone of teams.Stories and analogies (including the “Mafia boss” and the six's “BS meter”) that bring these strategies to life.Practical tips for collaboration, leadership, and personal growth.And stay tuned! Our next episode will cover the remaining group: Types 4, 5, and 9.D and I both facilitate workshops on behalf of Enneagram MBA.

Send us a textWhat happens when a wife no longer feels safe, protected, or defended by her husband?In today's episode, we dive into the heartbreaking story of a woman who left her husband—not because he cheated, not because he failed financially, but because he refused to stand up for her when it mattered most.This episode uncovers one of the biggest mistakes many husbands make without realizing it: failing to protect their wives emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. And for wives, it's a reminder that your longing to feel protected is not weakness—it's biblical design.Through this raw story and biblical truth, we'll explore why protection is as vital to a wife as provision, why silence can feel like betrayal, and what you can do if you're feeling unseen or unprotected in your marriage.

You can outsource your email. You can delegate your schedule.But you can't outsource your capacity.And if you don't expand what you can hold, your business will break you before it ever breaks through.This episode is your wake-up call if you're doing all the right things—scaling, optimizing, hiring—but still feel like you're about to snap. Because growth isn't about doing more. It's about holding more.In this solo episode, George Bryant peels back the curtain on a topic most entrepreneurs avoid: burnout. But not the kind you think. Burnout isn't a sign you need more time or tactics—it's a signal your capacity is maxed.George walks you through the 4 types of entrepreneurial capacity—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and how each one is the real bottleneck behind your business. You'll learn how to build capacity from the inside out so you can lead with peace, purpose, and power—without breaking under pressure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe real reason burnout happens (and why it's not about your to-do list).Why your business will never outgrow your capacity.How to expand your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical resilience.The myth of “doing more” and the power of being more.How to conduct a personal capacity audit—and what to do with the results. Key Takeaways✔️Burnout is not a workload issue—it's a capacity issue.✔️You can't scale a business beyond your ability to hold what it creates.✔️The 4 buckets of capacity: Mental (clarity), Emotional (resilience), Spiritual (faith/surrender), and Physical (energy).✔️Self-honesty, boundaries, stillness, and prioritization are non-negotiable tools.✔️Growth requires becoming the person who can hold the result—not just doing more. Timestamp Highlights[00:00] – Powerful myth-busting insight about growth and the trap of “doing more.”[04:24] – The myth of more. Why more strategy, delegation, and tactics won't grow your business if your internal capacity is capped.[08:48] – Understanding capacity. When one bucket (mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical) is over-stretched or neglected, it impacts everything.[13:06] – Spiritual capacity. George shares his personal view on faith and how spirituality forms the foundation of his capacity.[17:30] – Letting go of comfort. Why clinging to what got you here can hold you back from what's next.[21:54] – What cravings reveal. How our internal environment influences the food, habits, and energy we gravitate toward.[26:12] – Intentional flexing. Growth is about strengthening capacity across all dimensions, not just scaling strategies.[30:36] – Protecting your priorities. Whether physical, mental, or emotional, you must safeguard the capacity that fuels your life and business. Your Challenge This Week:Audit your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical buckets.Ask: Where am I maxed out or leaking capacity?Pick ONE bucket and commit to a daily practice to expand it.Because what you build is only as strong as what you can hold.Feeling maxed out but not sure where to start?Book a free call at mindofgeorge.com and say “CAPACITY” in the message to get personalized support from George.Join The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling with connection.Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to grow your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?
