Ever feel hijacked by a single moment? One message, one email, one comment… and suddenly, your nervous system is in overdrive. But what if those moments weren’t threats… but invitations?

What if your next level wasn’t beyond your triggers, but inside them?

In Episode 2 of the Reset in 20 series, George Bryant shares how to rewire the moments that shut you down, and turn them into the breakthroughs that build you up. George introduces a practical 3-step process for transforming emotional triggers into empowering glimmers, moments of clarity, momentum, and aligned action.

You’ll learn the exact model to apply when you’re overwhelmed or reactive, and how consistent integration of this process can become your most powerful personal development tool.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What “triggers” and “glimmers” really are and how to tell the difference
• The 3-step process (Recognize, Reframe, Respond) to rewire your default reactions
• Why awareness isn’t enough (and what to do with that awareness)
• How to stop spiraling and start training your nervous system for clarity
• Real-world examples of how this model supports your business, relationships, and health
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Triggers aren’t proof that you’re broken, they’re proof that growth is trying to get in.
✔️Emotional reactions are just old patterns repeating.
✔️The three steps: Recognize, Reframe, Respond… can be your entire emotional regulation toolkit.
✔️Your ability to pause is your superpower.
✔️Every moment you pause instead of react is evidence that you’re integrating a new identity.

They said you’re too small to matter.

But your customers? They need you to exist.

In this episode, George sits down with author, strategist, and small business champion Sri Kaza to challenge the myth that size determines success. From leading corporate giants to helping underdog entrepreneurs thrive, Sri shares powerful stories and frameworks to help you rethink growth, resilience, and what really makes your business irreplaceable.

This is not just another strategy episode. It’s a call to purpose, proximity, and positioning. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this conversation will reignite your belief in the power of playing your own game.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why being “too small to scale” is a lie—and how to embrace your uniqueness
• The three Underdog Principles every entrepreneur needs to survive any storm
• Why trying to copy corporate strategy might be holding you back
• How to build meaningful customer proximity—even in a digital world
• Real-world stories of resilience and impact from Main Street entrepreneurs

✔️Your proximity is your power: Real relationships with your customers will always outperform clever marketing.
✔️Purpose fuels resilience: When you’re rooted in why you’re doing the work, your business becomes unshakeable.
✔️Structure and soul both matter: The most successful businesses blend solid frameworks with gut-led values.

You’re not broken — but the way you’re carrying the load might be.

Burnout doesn’t tap you on the shoulder with a warning… it ambushes you. And by the time you realize it’s here, you’re deep in the spiral, overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck. But what if burnout wasn’t a dead end… but a directional sign? A wake-up call. A reset.

In this powerful kickoff to the Reset in 20 series, a curated rerun of past but potent episodes, George Bryant invites you to stop, reflect, and recalibrate your life and business before burnout becomes your baseline.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real reason most entrepreneurs stay in burnout cycles
• Why self-care tools won’t save you if you don’t stop what’s burning you out
• Four life-changing questions to redesign your business around recovery
• How to shift from self-sacrifice to sustainability
• Why high performance requires deep reflection
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️You don’t notice burnout when it starts, only when it’s too late.
✔️Recovery doesn’t come from more supplements or routines, it comes from stopping.
✔️If you’re the last one being taken care of, your business will collect that debt… with interest.
✔️The most powerful shifts begin with honest questions, not external action.
✔️This isn’t about doing more… It's about doing what aligns.
