Business success soon followed. He prepared by first earning an MBA at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. A series of entrepreneurial triumphs included development of a number of successful businesses that benefit people. Most noteworthy, the Edward George Wealth Management Group where his financial acumen and a people- first approach to clients are redefining investment advisory. A love of acting added still another career dimension. Acclaimed as Billy Flynn in Chicago on Broadway, and in many theatrical productions; Whipping Man, A Raisin in the Sun to Othello to Julius Caesar; feature films including The Best Man Holiday, 7-10, and television roles in Shooters, NCSI: Los Angeles and HBO's Ballers. His authentic, heartfelt performances have delighted audiences and earned him rave reviews. As Professor Eddie George, he gives back through higher education, developing The Business of Professional Sports, a game-changing course at the Fisher School of Business at The Ohio State University. Complemented by industry thought leader presentations, Eddie brings rare insight, holistic perspective, and a Blueprint for Success to meet the challenges and opportunities for aspiring professional athletes and future business executives. Adding to all the roles he has played, Coach Eddie George is now an apt title, as he was announced as the 22nd head football coach at Tennessee State University on April 13, 2021. Anchored by family, Eddie with wife Tamara 'Taj' Johnson-George, Grammy® nominated singer with SWV (Sisters with Voices) and their sons, Eriq and Jaire, make Nashville, TN home. Eddie and Taj live a life balanced by commitment to family, community and public service. All anchored by Eddie's Four Pillars of mental, physical, social and spiritual wellness.

"I want to break down what we actually can do with our feelings so that, whether you feel a million different things jumbled up or you wonder if your emotions aren't there because you haven't felt in so long, you will have something simple to do that helps anyone starting from any place untangle it one step at a time."

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of suppressing your emotions, only to have them resurface in unexpected ways? Maybe you've been told to just tough it out, but deep down, you're feeling the weight of unresolved emotions. It's time to break free from this pattern and embrace the power of your emotions.

In this transformational look at our inner life through the lens of science, scripture, and personal storytelling my guest, Jennie Allen, shows us how instead of trying to conceal or control our difficult emotions, we can notice and name our feelings in ways that lead to deeper relationships, richer faith, and lasting health.

Jennie Allen is the founder and visionary of IF:Gathering as well as the New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head, Find Your People, Made for This, Anything, and Nothing to Prove. Her newest book is Untangle Your Emotions which releases February 13th 2024.

She is the host of the Made for This podcast and has been featured in such media outlets as GMA3, 700 Club, Greg McKeown Podcast, Focus on the Family, Women's World, Christianity Today and many more.

If you are often dealing with the feeling of pressure to be perfect and are constantly battling with criticism and fear of judgment, then you are not alone! Many professionals struggle to navigate these same feelings which ultimately leads to self-doubt, anxiety and a low state of mind.

Luckily, this week on Positive University, my guest is Michael Gervais, PhD. Dr. Mike Gervais is one of the world's top high-performance psychologists. His clients include world record holders, Olympians, internationally acclaimed artists and musicians, MVPs from every major sport, and Fortune 100 CEOs, helping them navigate the psychological aspects of high performance.

He is the co-founder of Compete to Create, a mindset training program created with Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Mike's expertise lies in helping individuals overcome fear of judgment and achieve peak performance by understanding the psychological, sociological, and biological factors that influence our behavior. With a focus on discernment and the balance between caring and worrying about others' opinions, Mike brings a unique perspective to the conversation, offering valuable insights into the mastery of psychological skills for high performers.

Dr. Mike Gervais's newest book, THE FIRST RULE OF MASTERY: Stop Worrying about What People Think of You is a groundbreaking guide to unleash your human potential and shows us that the key to leading a high-performance life is to redirect our attention from the world outside us to the world inside us.
