You weren’t born to hold it all. You were born to hold what matters.

In this raw and refreshingly honest conversation, George sits down with speaker, coach, and boundaries expert Beth Jones to explore the pressure-cooker reality of modern leadership, especially for women who’ve been taught to carry everyone and everything. Together, they unpack the sneaky ways burnout shows up in high performers, the emotional cost of people-pleasing, and how to lead with integrity without abandoning yourself in the process.

This isn’t just about saying “no.” It’s about remembering who you are when the world demands more than you can give.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by expectations, stretched by your own ambition, or unsure where you end and everyone else begins — this episode is your permission slip to breathe.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to tell the difference between capacity and obligation
• Why high performers are especially prone to burnout
• The invisible cost of people-pleasing
• Why boundaries aren’t walls — they’re invitations to deeper connection
• The difference between support and saviorism
• How spiritual practice can anchor your leadership
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️The boundary isn’t to keep others out — it’s to keep you in.
✔️Over-functioning is not leadership. It’s fear in disguise.
✔️Rest is not something you earn — it’s something you’re worthy of.
✔️If your love costs you your peace, it’s not love — it’s self-abandonment.
✔️You don’t need to prove your worth through exhaustion.
✔️Your spiritual alignment is your leadership strategy.
✔️Holding space doesn’t mean holding everything.

What’s the “rotting fish” under the seat of your business?

You wouldn’t leave a fish in your car for a month… but most of us leave beliefs in our mind that stink up our business and life for years. In this short but powerful solo episode, George walks you through one of the most transformative mindset tools he’s ever used — The Stinky Fish Exercise.

Whether you’re procrastinating, micromanaging, burnt out, or stuck in comparison loops — there’s a silent belief poisoning your momentum. This episode helps you name it, clear it, and move forward with clarity. You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you might just cry a little… but you’ll definitely finish lighter.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What a “stinky fish” actually is and how it shows up
• 3 specific steps to identify and remove your blocks
• The surprising impact of being witnessed in your beliefs
• Why naming your fear is more powerful than hiding it
• How this tool can shift your mindset in 10 minutes or less

Key Takeaways:
✔️Your business will never outgrow the beliefs you refuse to face.
✔️Procrastination and overworking are symptoms — not problems.
✔️Unspoken thoughts hold more power than spoken ones.
✔️Stillness reveals what’s been silently running the show.
✔️Sharing your fears with a trusted person instantly weakens their grip.

Most people try to think their way to healing. But true transformation starts in stillness.

In this deeply moving and energetically charged conversation, George sits down with “The Facilitator of Miracles”, Jerry Sargeant, to explore what it really takes to shift your frequency, break generational pain cycles, and connect to your highest self. Jerry shares his path from darkness and destruction to spiritual awakening, and teaches how to hold space for healing that goes beyond the logical mind.

This episode is not just about personal development — it’s about frequency, forgiveness, presence, and true energetic alignment. If you’ve ever felt blocked, stuck, or caught in an emotional loop, Jerry’s words will land where most strategies can’t reach.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The role of forgiveness in emotional, spiritual, and physical healing
• How stillness creates space for the truth to emerge
• What it means to live in resonance — and how to spot when you’re out of it
• Why “doing more” often delays your healing
• How to feel and integrate pain instead of bypassing it
• The power of presence in your leadership, parenting, and relationships
• How frequency and intention co-create your reality
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Stillness is not punishment — it’s an invitation.
✔️Your frequency is the foundation of everything you attract and allow.
✔️Forgiveness isn’t for the other person — it’s for you.
✔️Most people aren’t afraid of failure — they’re afraid of stillness.
✔️What you suppress, your children inherit.
✔️When you shift your energy, everything around you shifts too.
✔️Miracles are not magic — they’re alignment.

The best leaders aren’t the ones doing it all — they’re the ones who learned they don’t have to.

In a world that glorifies hustle and self-reliance, we’re often rewarded for being the one who carries it all. But what if real leadership begins when we finally let go?

In this powerful episode, George sits down with entrepreneur and systems strategist Kate Perkovic for a raw, insightful, and often hilarious conversation about evolving leadership, emotional intelligence, and what it actually means to grow your business without burning yourself out. Together, they explore the subtle shifts required to move from “I’ve got this” to “We’ve got this.”

Whether you’re a solopreneur trying to do it all or a seasoned leader learning to trust your team, this episode will challenge and expand your definition of leadership, legacy, and leverage.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The hidden cost of being the “strong one” in leadership
• How to stop outsourcing your worth to your accomplishments
• Why systems aren’t about control — they’re about creating capacity
• How Kate rewrote her relationship with achievement and rest
• When leadership is really ego in disguise (and how to catch it)
• What to do when growth feels boring, hard, or lonely
  

Key Takeaways:

✔️If your leadership requires you to disappear, it’s not sustainable.
✔️Control is not the opposite of chaos — trust is.
✔️Your business will only grow to the level of your nervous system’s capacity.
✔️Letting go is a strategy, not a failure.

What if your greatest legacy isn’t what you build — but how you live?

In this powerful episode, George sits down with high-performance coach and legacy strategist Jairek Robbins to unpack one of life’s most important questions: What will outlive you?

This isn’t your typical entrepreneurship talk. From childhood trauma to business strategy, from fatherhood to fulfillment, Jairek and George go deep into the habits, beliefs, and decisions that create lasting impact — in business, in family, and in your soul. If you’ve ever felt pulled between performance and purpose, this episode will bring you home.

✔️Systems are for capacity, not control.

True leadership isn’t about how far ahead you stand — it’s about how deeply you serve.

What if your legacy wasn’t measured by your title, achievements, or income… but by your character when no one’s watching?

In this solo episode, George invites us into a vulnerable conversation about leadership — not the kind that comes with a spotlight, but the kind that’s forged in silence, service, and sacrifice. Anchored by wisdom from Viktor Frankl, Lao Tzu, C.S. Lewis, and Pastor Rich Wilkerson, George shares his personal journey, the leadership mistakes he’s made, and the daily practices that keep him grounded in service over self.

If you’ve ever questioned your impact, your posture, or your integrity as a leader — this episode is the mirror you didn’t know you needed.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why servant leadership is more impactful than ambition or status
• The 3 signs of character-driven leadership (from Pastor Rich Wilkerson)
• The internal battles leaders face — and how to overcome them
• George’s personal reflections on ego, growth, and faith
• How to show up with integrity in business, family, and life
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Character vs Accomplishments — Your bank balance won’t be on your headstone. But your impact will.
✔️True humility isn’t thinking less of yourself — it’s thinking of yourself less. (C.S. Lewis)
✔️Play the long game. Leadership is about sowing into others — even when no one sees it.
✔️Do more than you want. Choose character over comfort in moments when no one’s watching.
✔️Give more than you have. The smallest act of kindness or investment can change someone’s life.
✔️Self-leadership matters. Leadership starts with the words you say to yourself in silence.
✔️Let who you are speak louder than what you say.

You’ve read the books. You’ve hired the coaches. You’ve binged the podcasts (including this one). So why do you still feel stuck?

In this powerful solo episode, George Bryant calls himself out—and calls you forward. This is not a strategy dump. It’s a soul-level wake-up call to stop collecting information and start embodying what you already know.

This episode dives deep into the Knowing Trap—that frustrating gap between awareness and action. George unpacks why we stay stuck even when we “know better,” the identity illusions that sabotage our growth, and how to break free with simple, embodied action. You’ll walk away with a three-part framework, reflection questions, and a challenge to move forward today—not someday.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why more knowledge isn’t the answer to your stuckness
• The real cost of “almost” launching, starting, healing, or leading
• A 3-step spiral that keeps entrepreneurs frozen in place
• How identity clings to the past and resists your next level
• What it really takes to embody what you already know

Key Takeaways
✔️Awareness doesn’t equal embodiment. You can know better and still not do better.
✔️Avoidance is sneaky. We often gaslight ourselves by calling procrastination “processing.”
✔️Action is the only way out. You must choose to do what you already know you need to do.
✔️Your identity must evolve. The next version of you can’t live with the old version’s beliefs.
✔️Pick one thing and do it today. Even small action shifts your perspective and builds momentum.
