George Bryant-Civilized Caveman-The Importance of Radical Openness
On this episode we interview Digital Marketing Expert, Founder of Civilized Cavemen, and New York Times Best Selling Author George Bryant.
George's personal journey is a story of triumph through adversity. Specifically, during his career as a marine he overcame a one-year period of rehabilitation after almost losing his legs in Somalia, due to exercise induced compartmental syndrome. After multiple deployments to Afghanistan, he was medically discharged from the United States Marines due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. However, it's George's journey to overcome this adversity that led to his current success as an entrepreneur. During his transition out of the Marines, George began a journey to achieve his health outcomes and documented it all online. Throughout the process, George attracted a following which would eventually become the civilized caveman community. On his way out of the marines, he sold an e-book to his community which earned more money in that one product than he had made in one year as an E6 Marine. That e-book, "The Paleo Kitchen" was eventually published and became a 22-week New York Times Best Seller (hitting #4 globally). It has been this commitment to radical openness that has allowed George to overcome PTSD, bouts of depression, and handle the many ups and downs associated with launching multiple successful business ventures.
Some big pieces of advice that George has for aspiring entrepreneurs, it's important to acknowledge that riding on previous success can give you a false sense of security. There are some aspects of previous successes that may help you during your transition, however, what determines your success is the effort that your willing to put into what you are doing every single day. Additionally, if you bring too much ego into business then you are committing yourself to always needing to be right, meaning that others including your customers and your team are wrong, watch out for ego. Lastly, don't be too romantic over your business model to the point that you string an idea along way beyond it's shelf life, to your detriment.
George is not a big consumer of other s' content as he is more of an intuitive experimenter who learns by doing. George states that "the enemy of success is when you consume so much information, that you end up not doing anything". In addition, he has been massively successful in his approach, which has helped translate into marketing and consulting opportunities helping companies like Adidas, Men's health, Women's Health, Titleist, Reebok, and Onnit ethically scale. Furthermore, he is a big believer in Gary Vee's belief that ideas are crap without execution.
You can find George Bryant on LinkedIn, but according the George, the best place to keep up with his story is on Instagram @civilizedcaveman where George says he personally answers every single DM that's sent his way.
