What if you’re not actually stuck? What if your business or life isn’t broken—but is perfectly aligned with the inputs you’ve been feeding it?

In this raw, reflective episode, George shares one of the most powerful mindset shifts he teaches high-performing entrepreneurs, athletes, and creatives: you don’t need a new strategy—you need to audit your inputs. Inspired by a recent keynote for professional poker players, George breaks down how your actions shape your identity and determine your results—every single time.

This episode is your wake-up call, but also your permission slip: to pause, reflect, and realize that the power to change your life and business starts with what you do today.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why your “stuck” phase is actually an ROI on past behaviors
• The Inputs → Identity → Outputs framework
• How to identify what you’re unconsciously reinforcing every day
• How to take radical ownership without shame or guilt
• Why retraining yourself is the key to transformation
• A powerful journaling prompt to realign your results

Key Takeaways

✔️Your actions are who you are. Your words are who you want to be.
✔️You’re not broken. You’re trained—and that means you can retrain.
✔️Chaos creates a chaotic identity. Calm inputs create clarity.
✔️Results aren’t random. They’re earned—and that’s good news.
✔️Looking in the mirror isn’t about blame—it’s about power.
