Episode notes

We will pick the disaster we already know how to live through. We will skip the win we have never survived. George Bryant said that out loud and I felt it in my chest. He is a former Marine, a New York Times bestselling cookbook author, and the man behind Mind of George. He also spent years using a polished origin story as a moat. Enough pain to look open. Not enough truth to be seen. - I help founders & executives generating more than $10M in revenue find their Easy Mode. Start here: Watch this episode on YouTube: - He grew up outside Boston in a house full of drugs, fists, and sexual abuse. He joined the Marines because home was worse than Parris Island. Honor graduate. Somalia at 21. Almost lost both legs. A year in a wheelchair. Opiates. A night in the barracks when he swallowed the whole bottle and did not want to wake up. Then a food blog that became Civilized Caveman. An ebook he says did a million dollars in six days. A cookbook tour where he taught people to love themselves with food while he binged and purged before every keynote. Austin. Four thousand people. His ex-wife asked if he was going to walk on stage and lie to them again.
