In this heartfelt episode, I open up about my journey of faith, healing, and transformation. I talk about the struggles I've faced—from trauma and isolation to the deep-rooted insecurities and doubts that weighed me down for years.
I share the moments that brought me back to God: the prayers that helped me heal, the power of community support, and the transformational experience of recommitting my life through baptism. Through it all, I've come to see how love and faith can light the path, even in our darkest moments. I’m sharing these moments with you to show how God’s presence and love can truly transform lives.
Here’s what you can expect to take away:
Embrace your journey—healing takes time, faith, and patience.Seek community and connection; they’re essential in finding faith.Remember, life’s most powerful breakthroughs can come in unexpected places.Recognize and appreciate the people who support you.Trust that God is with you every step of the way.Thank you for joining me in this vulnerable space.

In this episode, Josh Jurkovich and I dig into AI’s role in business and entrepreneurship. We cover it all—from the good, the bad, to the unexpected about using AI in ways that keep authenticity and human connection front and center.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
Leverage AI for efficiency but don’t lose your critical thinking.Prioritize authenticity in your messaging—it’s what connects.Balance AI support with genuine human relationships in business.Use AI as a research assistant, not a replacement for creativity.Differentiate yourself from AI-driven communication to stand out.Ready to explore the future of AI with us?

In this episode of The Mind of George Show, we’re tackling a big one—perfectionism in entrepreneurship. I’m sharing some personal stories, including a powerful lesson I learned from a pottery class that completely shifted my perspective.
Spoiler alert: focusing on quantity over perfection can actually lead to better quality results.
We’ll dive into why iteration and progress matter so much more than getting everything perfect the first time, and how taking action (even when it’s messy) is the key to success. Plus, I’ll talk about how tapping into community support can help you break free from those perfectionist tendencies.
Tune in and learn how to:
Build resilience as a foundational skill for entrepreneurial successLet go of perfectionism to accelerate progress and executionFocus on needle-moving activities that drive real impact, not distractionsInvest in relationships and connections, as they are far more valuable than any algorithmAnd guess what? You don’t have to do it alone! Join us at our next event, November 14th-16th in Montana, where we’ll dive even deeper into these topics.

On today’s episode, I’m honored to have been interviewed by Ryan McGuire on “The Pursuit of Happiness” podcast. In this episode, I get real about my journey from rock bottom to redemption. Growing up, I faced some tough challenges—parental addiction, abuse, and later battling bulimia and PTSD while serving as a Marine. Things didn’t get easier as I stepped into entrepreneurship, struggling with opiate addiction and a ton of personal and professional turbulence.
But here’s the thing—hitting rock bottom wasn’t the end of my story. The birth of my son changed everything for me. It sparked a transformation I didn’t see coming. Through therapy and an incredible ayahuasca experience, I found a path to healing and strength that I didn’t know was possible. I talk about the power of love, persistence, and what it means to be a role model for my kids. If you're in a tough spot or just looking for some inspiration, this episode is for you. Trust me, it’s all about relentless perseverance and self-discovery, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
So tune in to know more about:

"We beat ourselves up for past decisions considering them mistakes when they actually are not or were not mistakes at all."
In this episode, I talk about something that we all deal with—when does a mistake become a lesson? Inspired by an email from Kyle Creek, we break down the importance of learning from your screw-ups and why making new ones is part of the journey.
We get into the difference between a mistake and a choice, how ego plays into our decisions, and why it's so easy to label everything as a mistake (hint: don't do that!). I also share why it’s key to celebrate your choices and flip your mistakes into chances for growth.
Stick around till the end, where I remind you to ask yourself the right questions and keep learning from every experience.
Tune in and let’s grow together to:
Turn every mistake into a lesson by choosing to learn from itBreak the cycle of repeating the same mistakes by stepping out of your comfort zone and admitting when you're wrongAsk yourself reflective questions like "What worked?", "What didn’t work?", and "What will I do differently next time?" to navigate mistakes and move forwardIf you’re ready to turn your mistakes into wins, this one’s for you!
