What if the missing link to scaling your business isn’t strategy or hustle—but buy-in?In today’s episode, I sat down with Dave Garrison—Harvard MBA, former CEO, leadership strategist, and author of The Buy-In Advantage. Together, we unpack the real reason so many businesses struggle to scale: a lack of authentic team engagement and aligned leadership. From culture-building to communication, this episode is a masterclass in how to create a team that moves fast, works well, and stays committed—because they believe in the mission as much as you do.Whether you’re a team of one or one hundred, these insights will reframe how you lead.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Why buy-in is more than just agreement—it’s heart, gut, and brain alignmentThe hidden costs of poor team culture (and how it’s secretly draining your business)Why most delegation fails—and how to fix itHow to ask better questions to unlock your team’s geniusThe 7 ingredients of a sustainable, values-driven cultureHow to build trust, accountability, and performance—without micromanaging Key Takeaways:✔️Buy-in starts with you: Authentic leadership means modeling the culture you want to see.✔️Three is greater than seven: Too many priorities means no priorities. Focus is freedom.✔️Meetings should energize, not drain: Start with expectations, end with feedback, make space for participation.✔️Delegation requires clarity: Define the desired outcome, success criteria, and escalation agreements up front.✔️Culture already exists—you’re either shaping it or letting it shape you.✔️Curiosity beats control: Great leaders ask questions. Let your team show you how they think. Timestamps:[00:00] – Introduction to Dave & the concept of buy-in[03:00] – What buy-in really means (and where it gets lost)[07:00] – How leadership is evolving post-pandemic[12:00] – Signs your company lacks buy-in[17:00] – Why entrepreneurs sabotage their own teams[23:00] – Questions that build buy-in and culture[30:00] – Delegation that actually works[37:00] – Prioritization: why less is more[44:00] – The secret to powerful employee reviews[48:00] – Defining and living your company values[55:00] – Seven key ingredients to building a buy-in culture[01:02:00] – Practical advice to start creating buy-in today[01:07:00] – Final wisdom: humility, curiosity, and co-creation Connect with DaveGet Dave’s book: The Buy-In AdvantageBonus resources when you buy: 45 powerful questions to drive buy-inJoin The Alliance – The Relationship Beats Algorithms™ community for entrepreneurs scaling through connectionApply for 1:1 Coaching – Ready to build your business with sustainability, impact, and ease?Attend Live Events – Get in the room where long-term success is built: https://mindofgeorge.com/event/

You’ve read the books. Saved the Reels. Listened to the podcasts. Taken the courses. But deep down, you’re still stuck—and wondering why all the “growth” isn’t transforming your life or business.In this solo episode, George delivers a blunt but loving reality check: you might be addicted to the idea of transformation, not the embodiment of it. If you’ve been collecting knowledge but avoiding the uncomfortable work of becoming the person you say you want to be, this one is for you.This episode is raw, personal, and deeply practical. George calls himself out—and calls you up—with tools to move from passive consumption to lasting transformation.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy constant consumption can be the biggest block to real growthThe difference between being entertained by growth vs. committed to itThe painful truth behind personal development addictionHow to break the “information trap” and build momentumThe 4-question framework that bridges knowing to becomingHow to embody transformation even when it feels boring, inconvenient, or hard Key Takeaways✔️Transformation doesn’t come from what you know—it comes from what you live.✔️Consuming knowledge can feel productive, but it’s often just avoidance.✔️Real growth requires discomfort, repetition, and integrity.✔️You don’t need a new strategy—you need to use the key you already have.✔️Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Embodiment starts with one rep, one choice.✔️Growth is sacred—and often invisible in the beginning. Timestamps[00:00] – The illusion of growth: books, Reels, and zero results[05:00] – Knowledge isn’t power—embodiment is[10:00] – The trap of passive growth and dopamine confidence[15:00] – People don’t learn from your words—they watch your actions[20:00] – You already know what to do—you’re just avoiding itYour Challenge This WeekAsk yourself:What’s one thing I keep learning but haven’t embodied?What uncomfortable action am I avoiding—even though I know it’s the key?Choose one thing from the last 30 days and live it fully for the next 7 days.Then DM George what you chose—he wants to hear it.Join The Alliance – Connect with growth-minded entrepreneurs who are living their truth (not just learning it).Apply for 1:1 Coaching – Want help moving from knowing to becoming?

Kate shares her journey from burnout and trauma to clarity and peace—and how that inner transformation completely reshaped her business.This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who’s craving alignment, freedom, and impact—without sacrificing themselves in the process.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy business burnout is more than exhaustion—it’s a spiritual disconnectThe importance of identity work and energetic congruenceHow to rebuild a business that reflects your truth and peaceThe role of community and sacred space in sustainable growthWhat nervous system alignment actually looks like in daily business lifeWhy traditional “success” models leave so many entrepreneurs empty Key Takeaways✔️You can’t scale from survival.
