What if your performance didn’t start with your next marketing plan—but with your next meal, night of sleep, or 30-minute walk?

In this powerhouse episode, George is joined by health strategist and performance coach Chris DiVecchio to explore what it really means to become a business athlete—and why the other 23 hours of your day matter more than the one you spend working out.

They dive deep into the mental fitness, biological optimization, and self-care rituals that high-performing entrepreneurs use to build stamina, increase clarity, and create long-term success without sacrificing their health in the process. Whether you’re burnt out or just ready for the next level, this conversation will redefine how you fuel your business from the inside out.
