The Mind Of George Show

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 StubGrou p, a top Google Premier Partner agenc...

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 n...

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 actua...

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...

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 rei...

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 t...

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...

Homeless kid. Marine for 13 years. Food blogger hiding his bulimia. Opiate addiction. Photographer. Consultant. Mastermind host. Coach… the thing he swore he'd never call himself. None of those steps connect on paper. None followed a playbook. And none of them would have worked if George had tried to follow someone else's map. This episode is for the entrepreneur whose path doesn't exist yet. Most...

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...

Nobody sent you a memo. But the baseline for what "good" looks like in your business quietly shifted and it happened fast. Clients who were happy with a recap email now expect a structured summary with action items within 24 hours. Turnaround times that felt reasonable 18 months ago are starting to feel slow. This isn't because your clients got harder. It's because AI changed the reference point f...

She was 13. A girl she trusted convinced her she had a gift . She stood up and sang in front of 200 people and only found out afterward that everyone was laughing. That moment didn't just embarrass her. It rewrote her entire script: be whoever you have to be to belong. What followed was a decade of bulimia, drugs, self-hatred, and disappearing into everyone else's version of acceptable. What came...

Optimizing without structural change often leads to stagnation and false progress. George said it out loud in a business conversation and it stopped him cold. Because it was about him. Busy. Checking boxes. Numbers looking decent.  And still hitting the same ceiling. Not because he wasn't working hard enough. Because he was working hard on the wrong problem. There's a difference between getting be...

It took Robin Emdon 10 years to finish a six-year degree. On the 20-minute drive home from celebrating with his brother, he started counting what procrastination had actually cost him: relationships, finances, career, health. By the time he pulled into his driveway, he was furious. He was a trained life coach. And he didn't have the cure. That moment sent him into 900 research studies on procrasti...

There were two versions of this podcast. The one you heard: strategy, growth, frameworks, confidence. And the one happening when I hit record: depression, suicidal ideations, doubt, and a man running from everything he refused to face. You didn't know. But you held me up anyway. Episode 701 isn't a celebration. It's a confession and a thank you. In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, George pulls b...

Over half of all company bankruptcies happen within 12 months of a record sales month. Not a bad month. A record month. If that stat doesn't stop you in your tracks, this episode will. Most entrepreneurs treat cash flow as an afterthought, something to deal with at tax time or when the bank starts calling. But cash flow isn't just a finance topic. It's the blood running through the veins of your b...

You say relationships are the foundation of your business. You say referrals are your biggest source of growth . But when was the last time you intentionally nurtured those relationships… without needing something in return? In this episode, George breaks down the invisible gap that’s quietly costing entrepreneurs referrals, revenue, and long-term growth: The gap between valuing relationships… and...

From launching fashion brands like alice + olivia to developing patented women’s sizing systems, she’s built a career around solving meaningful problems. Now, she’s tackling something even deeper. As the co-founder and COO of Synchrony , Rebecca is helping create a saf...

What if gratitude has been completely misunderstood? Not because it doesn’t work… But because most people are using it as avoidance instead of transformation . This episode is not about journaling five things you’re thankful for or pretending everything is okay. George dives deep into the truth about gratitude : what it actually is, what it does to your brain, and how it directly impacts your deci...

Most businesses think they need more leads . More traffic. More funnels. More followers. More ads. But what if the real problem isn’t lead generation at all? What if your business is already getting enough opportunities… and you’re just losing them in the conversation ? In this powerful conversation, George and sales strategist and team-building expert Ben Wright dive deep into the psychology and...

You’re not stuck because you’re not doing enough. You’re stuck because you’re doing too much … without knowing what’s actually working. Posting more. Adding platforms. Trying everything. But if someone asked you right now, what’s actually bringing in clients? Would you have a clear answer? Or would you go quiet?   In this direct and tactical solo episode, George breaks down one of the biggest mist...

Your body doesn’t know the difference between a tiger… and an email. Every time you suppress stress, push through emotions, or ignore what you feel, it doesn’t disappear. It stacks. And eventually… it breaks you. In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, George is joined by Nic Monteforte, leadership expert, high-performance coach, and author of Infinite Capacity, to break down the real reaso...

Some days feel like everything is falling apart. Others feel like everything finally makes sense. What if both were required? And what if the difference between quitting and building something that lasts is simply knowing which day you’re in?   In this powerful solo episode, George introduces a simple yet transformative framework inspired by a recent conversation: Onion Days vs Strawberry Days Oni...

What if the life you’ve been chasing is the exact thing disconnecting you from yourself? In this deeply raw and transformative conversation, George sits down with Lacey Newman, top 1% real estate leader, coach, and speaker to unpack the truth most entrepreneurs avoid: Success doesn’t create peace. Peace creates sustainable success. Lacey shares her powerful journey from building a life that looked...

Entrepreneurship didn’t fail you. You were just never told the full truth. The wins get posted. The freedom gets highlighted. But the panic attacks, the cash flow stress, the doubt at 11PM? That part stays hidden. And if you’ve ever felt like something is wrong with you… it’s not. You were sold the after-state without the before-state.   In this raw and deeply honest solo episode, George pulls bac...

ou don’t need another funnel. You don’t need another strategy. Because if strategy alone worked… you’d already be where you want to be. The truth? Most entrepreneurs aren’t stuck because they don’t know enough, they’re stuck because they’re building on shaky foundations . And until that changes… nothing else will. In this powerful conversation, George sits down with marketing expert Landon Poburan...
