Changing the calendar doesn’t change your life, your choices do.

In this soul-stirring solo episode recorded from a hotel room in Cancun, George shares four powerful lenses that can radically shape your year ahead. If you’re tired of “vision boards” that don’t lead to vision being lived, and goals that never become reality, this episode is your permission slip to simplify, reflect, and focus on what truly matters, because 12 months from now, your life will be the result of what you start choosing today.

George unpacks a sermon that deeply impacted him, “This Year Can Be Special”, and translates it into a tactical, emotional, and spiritual invitation for entrepreneurs. Through four transformational principles, he explores how to realign your identity, clarify your focus, and stop living on autopilot. This isn’t about big leaps, it’s about micro decisions that lead to massive momentum.

Whether you lead a team, a business, or just yourself, this episode offers a blueprint for building a year that doesn’t just pass… but actually matters.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your identity, not your strategy, is the foundation of success
• How your focus shapes your future
• Why your starting point dictates your consistency
• The difference between distraction and divine direction
• How to discern who should (and shouldn’t) lead or influence you
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️You will be formed by what you focus on, every moment is shaping you
✔️It’s easier to stick with what you start with so start wisely
✔️Whatever dazzles you must be able to deliver you not all shiny things are sacred
✔️Who you listen to, you’ll be led by, be discerning with input and influence
✔️Your identity drives your habits, you’ll act in alignment with what you believe you’re worth
✔️God, not goals, is the ultimate guide and alignment with Him changes everything

You’ve been told to chase revenue, followers, and funnels. But what if the “rules” of business you’ve been following are the very ones keeping you stuck?

In this deep, high-energy conversation, George is joined by Kyle Nelson and Eli Libby for a raw dismantling of the business myths that burn people out, and the truth that actually moves the needle.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things but still spinning your wheels, this episode is your permission slip to break the rules, build what works, and remember who you are.

This episode is a firestorm of clarity, conviction, and calling out the lies we unconsciously buy into as entrepreneurs. Kyle, Eli, and George go deep on the dangerous addiction to validation, why “doing more” is often a trauma response, and how real transformation requires truth over tactics.

Awareness isn’t comfort. It’s responsibility.

Most people avoid it because it asks more of you… it demands honesty, ownership, and growth. But if you’re ready to stop sleepwalking through life and start living with intention, this episode will challenge the way you see yourself, your business, and your leadership.

In this soul-level conversation, George sits down with Taylor Cavanaugh for a raw, real, and revealing look at what it truly takes to lead yourself. They explore how honest reflection unlocks transformation, why most people leave impact on the table, and how to reclaim power in the smallest moments.

Taylor brings deep insight into the courage it takes to see your blind spots, the patterns we unconsciously repeat, and the healing that happens when you own your story, without shame or sugarcoating.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, parent, or just someone ready to stop numbing and start choosing, this episode is an invitation back to presence, truth, and aligned leadership.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why self-awareness is the starting line, not the destination
• The real cost of unconscious reactions in your business and life
• How to shift from survival mode into aligned leadership
• Tools and stories that help rewire your perspective and emotional regulation
• Why vulnerability is the birthplace of sustainable growth
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Self-awareness isn’t about perfection, it’s about responsibility
✔️Most people aren’t stuck from lack of ability, but from refusal to look inward
✔️You don’t need a new plan… you need new choices in how you respond
✔️Emotional honesty is the foundation of leadership, not a weakness
✔️Ownership of your patterns creates the freedom to choose differently
✔️The moments you want to avoid are often the exact ones that hold your breakthrough

Join our next live event: The Lighthouse Workshop, March 2026: mindofgeorge.com/event

You’ll walk away with clarity, tools, and community that will change your trajectory, for real this time.

Welcome to the final episode in the 7-part RESET IN 20 series. In this episode, George takes you inside one of the most vulnerable seasons of his life and teaches the foundational mindset practice that transforms overwhelm into power: standing guard at your lighthouse: your mind, your heart, and your perspective.

This isn’t about hacks or tactics. It’s about reclaiming your agency and choosing what thoughts get access to your lighthouse.

Whether you’re burned out, uncertain, or just need a reminder of who you are, this episode equips you with a simple but profound way to come back to center and protect what matters most.

This isn’t just a reset, it’s a revival of your inner guard.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why unchecked thoughts become mental prisons
• The difference between reaction vs. response (and why it matters)
• How to build your “medicine cabinet” of mindset tools
• What Jim Rohn, Mike Tyson, and Stephen Furtick all have in common (hint: perspective)
• Why strategy fails without perspective and how to avoid that trap
• A live, behind-the-scenes window into how George rebuilds from adversity
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Stand guard at your lighthouse: Protect your mind, heart, and perspective like your life depends on it, because it does.
✔️Perspective is the difference between power and prison. You can have the right strategy, but the wrong mindset will sabotage it.
✔️Choose to respond, not react. Your past does not deserve to lead your present.
✔️Build your mental “medicine cabinet.” Fill it with the tools, books, videos, and reminders that bring you back to center.
✔️Clarity doesn’t come from chaos. Emotional spirals don’t lead to solutions, presence does.
✔️Community matters. Surround yourself with a triage team who can remind you who you are when you forget.
✔️You only lose when you quit. Keep building your vision, even if it doesn’t look like you thought it would.

You don’t win trophies at the finish line… you win them in the reps nobody sees.

This short, powerful episode reminds you that your dream life isn’t built in big, flashy moves. It’s created through small, intentional shifts, done with consistency. Every micro habit you build today becomes the receipt you redeem tomorrow. If you’re tired of all-or-nothing patterns and want a sustainable path forward, this is your moment.

George reveals how to stop self-sabotage, end the cycle of overcommitting, and finally build the consistency you’ve been craving. He introduces his “Wedge of Expectations” model (aka the Consistency Compass) to help you protect your habits, even on your worst days, and anchor your confidence in intentionality, not instant results.

This isn’t just about personal development, it’s about transformation that lasts.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why discipline and consistency matter more than intensity
• How to stop overcommitting and start building real momentum
• The 2-part formula that creates sustainable transformation
• How to design your minimum viable habit with a realistic floor
• Why anchoring your confidence to your intent will change everything
  

Key Takeaways:
✔️Your current life is a receipt for your past habits, not your past goals
✔️Dreams without goals (and discipline) lead to disappointment
✔️You don’t need perfect conditions, you need daily intention
✔️The “Wedge of Expectations” helps you stay consistent no matter how you feel
✔️Set a ceiling (ideal scenario) and a floor (minimum commitment) for your habits
✔️Real confidence comes from showing up, not from outcomes
