The Mind Of George Show

You saved the link. You opened it three days later. And you remembered nothing. Not the idea. Not why you saved it. Not what you were going to do with it. You are not a bad learner. You have a leak. And right now, 83% of everything you have ever learned is already gone. This is the direct implementation guide for Episode 744 with Steve Kahle. George walks through all three parts of Steve's CCR sys...

You are losing 83% of everything you learn within the first week. Every book. Every seminar. Every podcast. Gone. Most people call that a motivation problem. It is not. It is a system problem. And Steve Kahle has spent 30 years building the fix. Steve Kahle is a 2x CEO, co-founder, fractional CIO/CTO, and author of Leadership Recall. In this conversation, he and George break down the forgetting cu...

That tiger cub you ignored six months ago? It is not a cub anymore. Adversity does not wait while you get ready. It gets hungrier. It gets bigger. And at some point there is no cage between you and it. George has personally caused irreparable damage to his body, his relationships, and his business confusing stubbornness with strength. He called it resilience for years. This episode is the four-par...

He was paralyzed from the neck down on his fortieth birthday. Clinically dead twice on the operating table. Told he would never walk again. And the first thing that finally broke through four months of suicidal depression was not a mindset hack or a pep talk. It was radical, no-strings-attached gratitude for the fact that his injury kept his team out of harm's way. That was the turning point. Ever...

His mother is in hospice right now. He was navigating depressive thoughts before he hit record. And he still sat in his car for 15 minutes first, because Carrie said something he could not shake. You cannot get an accurate read on your team's energy if you have never taken one on yourself. This is the audit that follows. This is the direct implementation guide for the Carrie Fabris episode. George...

Your team's accountability problem. Their communication breakdown. The misalignment you keep trying to fix. Those are not the problem. They are symptoms of something invisible, in every room, shaping every culture, driving every result. It is your energy. And you are not tracking it. Carrie Fabris is the founder of CareerFrame and author of All In, with 25 years in leadership inside companies like...

Most people don't realize they're one AI shortcut away from building an entire body of work they can never legally claim. George's team called him out for being a pharmacist who hands out prescriptions before anyone knows they have a symptom. He's done the same thing with content. Friday's conversation with Robin Colucci broke it open. This is the framework that follows. This is the direct impleme...

George was at an event with 5,000 people when friends started texting him. He walked in and found someone giving his exact customer journey framework, word for word, to a full room. He had no legal ground to stand on. That was the day he understood what intellectual property actually costs when you haven't protected it . This episode is the conversation that follows. Robin Colucci is a book coach,...

Twelve years ago, George drove six and a half hours to volunteer inside a maximum security prison in the California desert. He walked in stressed about a business problem. He walked out standing on a blue line alongside a man serving a life sentence: a man with nearly the same story, just different circumstances. That day broke something open. This episode is the implementation guide for it. This...

After five companies. After launching Canada's first incubator for justice-impacted entrepreneurs. After helping 140+ formerly incarcerated people build their own businesses. Someone looked at Lucy Cullen and said she didn't look like she should be doing that. She looked back at them and kept going anyway. Lucy Cullen is a five-time founder, executive coach, and the co-founder of Comeback Catalyst...

George made his first million as an entrepreneur and spent it. He grew up in feast or famine. Swore he would do the opposite. Then recreated the exact same pattern with more zeros, bigger crashes, and equal chaos. The money story he inherited was running his business without his permission for 20 years. He didn't know it had a name until he sat down with Ryan Lee. This episode is the implementatio...

He was in Indianapolis on a six-month project when his wife called. His son was drowning.  Holes in his heart.  Blood in his lungs.  Emergency open heart surgery. In that moment, Ryan realized he had traded everything he said he cared about and was about to lose the one thing he told himself he was doing it all for. That was the breaking point. This episode is the breakthrough. Ryan...

He looked at his calendar this morning and started crying. Full overwhelm. Full spiral. Instead of pushing through like he would have for years, George stopped. He followed the protocol. And two things shifted: his entire morning, and everything he got done. This episode is that protocol. This is the implementation guide for the Sharon Brand episode. George breaks down her two-part gut instinct fr...

Nine months pregnant. Launching a second business. Handing off an agency she built from scratch to her team. Running it all on gut instinct, no MBA, no investor deck, no corporate playbook. And she has never been more clear on what she's building and why. Sharon Brand is the founder of BMG Agency , built from a lifestyle blog in 2016 to a mid-six-figure agency with a team of nine across four count...

He fell in the mud. No change of clothes. A client starting in five minutes… George turned the car around anyway. Rushed his son into the school bathroom. And in the moment he was about to solve and fix and firefight his way through, his son looked up and said: "I need a hug, dad." That three and a half minute moment is a better story than anything George has planned in months. And that's exactly...

She was in the ocean with her daughter when something happened. She crawled out of the water, turned around, and knew the woman who walked in that day was not the same woman who came out. That moment became the foundation of everything she teaches about why the stories we're most afraid to tell are usually the ones our audience needs most. Elizabeth Brett is a former NBC television reporter and cr...

You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem . You've been giving yourself permission to feel exhausted, but not permission to find out why. George has taken vacations that didn't fix it. Hired people to take things off his plate and still felt it. And told himself for years that rest would reset him. It didn't. Because rest doesn't fix misalignment. It just gives you a quieter...

Two weeks before George Rivera's father died, he pulled him close and said three things: Don't miss Leo's games. I missed too many of yours. No business advice. No legacy talk. Just a deathbed confession from a man who finally understood what the scoreboard should have been tracking all along. That moment became everything. George Rivera is the founder of 18 Summers Advisory and author of Before T...

Would you let a stranger run up a bill in your name for 10 years and say nothing? That's exactly what you've been doing to yourself. The debt collector you've been avoiding is already staring back at you in the mirror. And this morning, 45 minutes before recording this episode, George sat in his car and scrolled YouTube Shorts for 15 minutes. He caught it. He's showing you exactly what he did next...

You can build a business that looks completely right from the outside and feel completely wrong every single day on the inside. Most people would call that success. Lacey Newman calls it misalignment . And she spent 20 years learning the difference the hard way, before walking away from the top 1% of her industry not because she failed, but because she finally could do it with her hands tied behin...

You can close the sale, deliver an incredible result, and still lose the client. Not because you failed them. Because you never made them feel at home after they said yes. The moment someone buys is the moment most businesses go quiet and that silence is costing you referrals, retention, and relationships you didn't even know you were losing. This is a private framework George has never shared pub...

He moved to Hollywood with $43 and a dream. Watched his dad pour brilliant ideas into businesses that made other people rich. Decided the only thing scarier than risking everything was never finding out what he was capable of. Twenty-five years and 51 countries later, Caleb Gilbert protects the world's most elite. And everything he's learned doing it maps directly into how you're building your bus...

You're going to do the right thing and get kicked in the teeth for it. Not maybe. Not sometimes. It will happen. George heard these commandments in a sermon and sat there crying. Not because they were heavy. Because they were true and because he'd spent most of his life and career getting them wrong. Kent Keith's Ten Paradoxical Commandments have been shared from boardrooms to pulpits for decades....

Over a million words. Unfinished manuscripts abandoned across an entire lifetime. His daughters called him a writer. His wife called him a writer. He didn't believe it himself. That gap, between who others see you as and who you see yourself as, is where Lester Clowes built an entire coaching practice. And this episode is the most honest version of that work, out loud. Dr. Lester Clowes is the fou...

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...
