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.
We get into the risks of relying too much on AI, the importance of maintaining real relationships, and how AI can support us without replacing what makes us unique. You’ll hear how to use AI as a valuable assistant, not a crutch, especially when it comes to creativity, communication, and keeping things personal in business.
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? Join me on this journey, and keep the conversation going over on Instagram @itsgeorgebryant!

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.

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.

"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!
