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 trying to copy corporate strategy might be holding you back

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.

What if your biggest breakthrough wasn’t about what you do… but what you stop doing?

In this raw and soul-baring solo episode, George challenges the cultural obsession with 90-day plans, massive to-do lists, and “doing more.” Instead, he offers something radically simple — and potentially life-changing: the power of saying no. No to overwhelm. No to hustle. No to what no longer serves you. This isn’t about restriction — it’s about reclaiming your freedom.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “no” is more powerful than any new strategy
• How overcommitment fuels burnout and self-sabotage
• How to practice saying no from a place of freedom, not shame

• Why clarity beats complexity in building a sustainable life and business
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Saying no isn’t restriction — it’s liberation.
✔️Every yes to the wrong thing is a no to the right one.
✔️Micro-no’s build macro-momentum.
✔️You don’t need a 90-day plan. You need one powerful decision.

What if “bad behavior” is actually a cry for connection?

In this powerful and soul-level conversation, George sits down with Andi Clark, a certified parent coach and educator who helps parents, caregivers, and leaders support kids with big emotions. But this episode goes beyond parenting — it’s a masterclass in how to show up with empathy, presence, and emotional regulation in every relationship, including the one with yourself.

Whether you’re raising a child, leading a team, or healing your own inner world, this episode is a mirror, a map, and a lifeline.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real root of “difficult behavior” in children (and adults)
• Why emotional regulation is contagious — in both directions
• How to co-regulate without self-abandoning
• Why shame and punishment backfire in the long run
• Tools for supporting kids (or partners, or clients) through big emotions
• What emotional safety actually feels like in a relationship
• How Andi went from parenting rock bottom to global impact
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Behavior is communication. Always.
✔️You can’t regulate someone else if you’re dysregulated yourself.
✔️Your nervous system is the most powerful parenting tool you have.
✔️You don’t need to fix your kid — you need to support their safety.
✔️Shame shuts down connection. Curiosity invites healing.

The problem isn’t your funnel—it’s how people feel in your presence.

If your marketing feels exhausting, your sales feel forced, or you’re doing “all the right things” but still not getting traction… this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

George pulls back the curtain on why most businesses aren’t suffering from bad strategy—they’re suffering from a lack of emotional safety.

This is more than mindset. This is your entire customer journey reimagined—from the first DM to long-term retention. And it’s rooted in one thing: human connection.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why pressure-based selling kills trust (and revenue)
• How emotional safety directly influences every sale
• The “Apple Framework” that builds trust in every touchpoint
• How to stop manipulating and start mentoring
• Journal prompts that reveal where you’re leading with pressure
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Sales isn’t the goal—it’s a byproduct of trust.
✔️People don’t buy when they feel pressured. They buy when they feel seen.
✔️Most businesses suffer from emotional misalignment, not broken funnels.
✔️Every touchpoint (DMs, emails, onboarding) is a microdose of safety—or stress.
✔️Stop building sales machines. Start building relationship journeys.
✔️The Apple Framework works everywhere—from sales calls to client onboarding.
✔️Long-term growth comes from safety, not strategy.

Timestamps & Highlights:
[00:00] – Why your sales aren’t working (it’s not your funnel)
[03:15] – The manipulation tactics still being taught—and why they fail
[08:40] – Real talk: coaches who gaslight & install trauma
[12:05] – Why pressure gets “yes” but destroys long-term trust
[15:30] – The ripple effect of high-pressure sales (ghosting, refunds, regret)
[18:10] – What people are really buying: safety, not strategy
[21:20] – Every decision is a nervous system decision
[24:00] – The Apple Framework explained: A-P-P-L-E
[28:45] – Two journal prompts to rebuild with integrity
[32:00] – DM George for a free customer journey audit
[34:00] – Final words: You don’t need pressure. You need presence.

Your business will never outgrow your belief in yourself.

What if the reason you’re not scaling isn’t strategy — it’s self-worth?

In this episode, George sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur and speaker Stephen Scoggins for a raw, no-BS conversation about the invisible limits we place on our lives and businesses. From homelessness to multiple 8-figure companies, Stephen shares how his success didn’t come from tactics — it came from healing.

If you’re craving clarity, momentum, and a serious gut check, this conversation will shake you up and call you forward. It’s not about changing what you do — it’s about changing how you see yourself.

• How belief bottlenecks your business (even with a great strategy)
• The link between identity and income

• Why healing is required for sustainable leadership
