This week on Resilience Unraveled, JB Glossinger explains how childhood bullying and being held back in third grade led him to adopt the name “JB” (James Brian) and build a life around Emotional Intelligence and consistent systems rather than short-lived motivation.

He describes creating the Morning Coach daily coaching show 21 years ago, producing about 6,000 episodes, shifting to a paid model in 2009, and helping professionals worldwide build structure, focus, and energy.

JB contrasts mastery as “boring” Zone 2 consistency with hustle culture and “get rich quick” marketing, criticizsng hype-driven courses that harm people financially and emotionally.

He links resilience to mission, vision, values, and eliminating noise by strengthening “the muscle of no,” alongside energy management, integrity, and ongoing self-optimisation, including leaving alcohol and caffeine.
