You’re Not Stuck, Just Trained

We are not truly stuck; we are aligned with the habits we've been cultivating.
Our current results are a return on the inputs we've consistently fed ourselves over time.

What if you’re not actually stuck? What if your business or life isn’t broken—but is perfectly aligned with the inputs you’ve been feeding it?

In this raw, reflective episode, George shares one of the most powerful mindset shifts he teaches high-performing entrepreneurs, athletes, and creatives: you don’t need a new strategy—you need to audit your inputs. Inspired by a recent keynote for professional poker players, George breaks down how your actions shape your identity and determine your results—every single time.
