George Wright III interviews Jerome Knyszewski, founder and CEO of Authority Magazines, about how he built Valiant CEO from an online marketing and reputation need: entrepreneurs struggled to get credible legacy-media features, so he created an open-door WordPress-based publication that has done 10,000 interviews in about four years and never charges to publish. He emphasizes controlling the narrative through guided, strategic Q&A (including FAQs and “should ask” questions), strong content guardrails (no politics, religion, lewd content, certain industries), and an ad-light reading experience to avoid distraction and SEO “bad neighborhood” risks. The conversation highlights the power of third-party validation, comparing it to book endorsements. A pivotal moment came when verified submissions from notable names like Grant Cardone led to producing monthly cover-style issues, which snowballed credibility and attracted more high-profile covers. Audience demand and niche fit drove expansion into a network of about a dozen publications; optional paid upgrades only accelerate publishing timelines.

George Wright III explains how feeling overwhelmed and unproductive often stems from poor time management and urges listeners to treat time as their greatest asset, budget it like money, and be intentional about where it goes. He argues that flexible time is a result of disciplined management and resourcefulness, not randomness, and warns against living reactively. Practical strategies include setting clear goals, using a planner or calendar, prioritizing “big rocks,” creating boundaries, setting time limits, taking breaks, resetting intention when starting tasks, and getting organized. He recommends delegating or eliminating low-value tasks, planning schedules in advance, avoiding checking phones or email first thing, monitoring app and social media usage, and improving sleep with evening routines. Better time management reduces stress, improves health, and increases progress toward goals, relationships, and income.

The Power of Daily Consistency
Saison 13 · Épisode 1358
mardi 22 septembre 2026 • Durée 13:42
George Wright III asks listeners to assess how their year is going and why they may feel stuck, emphasizing that overthinking rarely produces solutions and that answers are found through action and progress. He presents “the mastermind” as a single strategy that can change results by providing daily focus, perspective, and mentorship across core areas like mind, body, money, business, and lifestyle. Wright explains that while decisions and commitments matter, consistency is the real key, and consistency is built through habits and non-negotiable daily rituals. He encourages finding the “one thing” domino—such as podcasts or a daily masterminding routine—that keeps you consistent, aligns with timing for breakthroughs, and shifts focus off yourself to reduce limiting emotions.

Act in Spite of Your Mood
Saison 13 · Épisode 1357
lundi 21 septembre 2026 • Durée 13:37
George Wright III opens the Monday Daily Mastermind episode by highlighting persistence as a key prosperity principle and “difference maker,” tied to his third prosperity pillar: “I act in spite of my mood.” Citing Napoleon Hill and Calvin Coolidge, he argues that lack of persistence prevents people from achieving goals and that persistence is a cultivatable state of mind. He outlines ways to build it: definiteness of purpose, strong desire, self-reliance, definite plans and scheduling, applied knowledge, a cooperative mastermind group, using willpower strategically, and preparation through daily rituals and habits. He frames persistence as a decision—“it’s not over until you win”—and shares examples of repeated rejection and failure from NASA, Tim Ferriss, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Einstein, Edison, Dr. Seuss, Jack London, van Gogh, Michael Jordan, and J.K. Rowling.

Burned Out or Bored Out with Mitch Matthews
Saison 13 · Épisode 1356
vendredi 18 septembre 2026 • Durée 48:10
George Wright III hosts Mitch Matthews on The Daily Mastermind to discuss clarity, focus, and “what’s next” for high achievers. Matthews explains that many executives and entrepreneurs can detail goals for their organizations but struggle to define what’s next for themselves, often because success narrows perceived options. He distinguishes burnout from “bored out,” caused by repetitive work, and recommends intentionally injecting novelty—often 15 minutes a day—to begin healing and creating optionality, defined as the intentional creation of options without blowing up one’s life. Matthews describes building authority so opportunities come through value-sharing, and outlines the Authority Bridge approach to package expertise into coaching, speaking, or training while addressing identity beyond titles. He suggests 30-day sprints to explore then go deep, using passion and “pissed” lists, and asks listeners what they want to experience more in their next season.

How Saying No Unlocks Profitability with Yarin Gaon
Saison 13 · Épisode 1355
jeudi 17 septembre 2026 • Durée 29:10
George Wright III interviews Yarin Gaon of Fractional Partners about a common growth bottleneck for companies that reach product-market fit around $3–$5M in sales: continuing “growth by addition” by saying yes to too many customers, products, channels, and revenue streams, which increases complexity and shrinks profit. Gaon argues founders should shift to “growth by subtraction,” identifying the small set of activities that drives most profit and cutting the rest, then later moving to “growth by expansion” when execution bandwidth increases. Key signals it’s time to subtract are rising complexity and declining profitability, and Gaon warns against making decisions out of context or based only on revenue. He introduces the free Growth Decision Canvas and an initial heat map assessment to create a clear 12–18 month plan, and explains it complements EOS by improving strategic direction and profit focus.

Build a Business Around Your Life with Clay Martin
Saison 13 · Épisode 1354
mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 25:05
George Wright III interviews Clay Martin, founder of Isla Talent, a recruiting company connecting U.S. businesses with job seekers from Puerto Rico. Clay shares his path from serving in the Peace Corps in Ecuador and Panama to recruiting migrant labor for dairy farms and launching a Puerto Rico-focused recruiting business after being asked to source U.S. citizens who don’t need visas. He discusses selling his first business, being laid off after joining the acquiring competitor, and choosing to start over to regain freedom and control. Clay explains his lifestyle-first approach—using contractors instead of employees, staying remote, and focusing on relationship-building—plus his process for quickly placing workers and guiding clients on relocation logistics and housing. He aims to expand into recruiting nurses and emphasizes thinking differently, financial stability, personal branding, and long-term relationships.

Your Energy Is the Asset That Makes Everything Else Possible
Saison 13 · Épisode 1353
vendredi 11 septembre 2026 • Durée 12:29
George Wright III argues that for entrepreneurs, energy is the asset that makes every other asset possible, and that grind culture, burnout, and exhaustion reduce effectiveness, decision-making, creativity, discipline, relationships, and leadership. He urges listeners to treat health as a core success strategy and focus on sustainable energy through four areas: sleep (for recovery and productive hours), nutrition (food as fuel affecting focus, recovery, and brain health), exercise (performance, strength, mobility, and mental discipline), and recovery (not a reward, but essential for sustained high performance). He emphasizes consistency over extremes, warning that postponing health “until later” lets ambition consume wellness. He challenges listeners to identify one current “energy leak” (sleep, nutrition, exercise, overtraining, stress, or schedule) and make a long-term adjustment.

The Science of Scaling with Blake Erickson
Saison 13 · Épisode 1352
jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 51:43
George Wright III interviews Blake Erickson, co-author of The Science of Scaling and partner at Scaling.com, about his path from door-to-door team building, and a $10M revenue business, followed by a plateau that pushed him to pursue a bigger mission. Erickson explains how he partnered with Dr. Benjamin Hardy to co-author a book and launching Scaling.com. He distinguishes growth (e.g., 10–24% annually) from scaling (doubling or 10X in three years), arguing scaling requires doing different—often less—through focus, leverage, and “who brings the how.” He stresses that exponential, time-bound goals simplify strategy, cites a popcorn company jumping from 200 to 26,000 stores via one partnership, and emphasizes founder psychology, humility, pruning, and weekly alignment reviews. He shares Scaling.com’s lessons from a $12M plateau, previews the book Power Law Strategy (Jan 26), and offers a free audiobook at https://scaling.com/audiobook-ce

Visibility Is Not Enough: How to Build Market Influence
Saison 13 · Épisode 1351
mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 11:46
George Wright III challenges the common business advice that more visibility, followers, and reach are the key to growth, arguing that visibility without value, trust, and positioning doesn’t build a business. He explains the difference between temporary attention and lasting influence, emphasizing that marketing should make you relevant and trusted so you get chosen, not just seen. He urges entrepreneurs to focus on educating before selling, consistently showing up to build familiarity and credibility over time, and prioritizing relationships over vanity metrics. Wright highlights clear positioning—who you help, what problem you solve, what you believe, and why your perspective is different—so your brand becomes associated with a specific solution.

About Blake
Blake has built and operated several businesses and spent four years helping scale a door-to-door sales organization into an eight-figure company. He has recruited, trained, and led more than 1,200 people, with much of his experience centered on leadership, recruiting, and building high-performance teams. After reaching a point where his businesses required little day-to-day involvement, Blake found himself becoming comfortable and complacent while spreading his attention across real estate, media, podcasting, and several other ventures. He ultimately realized that maintaining what he had already built was no longer fulfilling, and he felt called to play a bigger game. That led him to sell his companies and real estate portfolio, step away from his podcast, and go all-in on Scaling.com, growing the company to $10 million in ARR in its first eight months. Today, he and his team advise more than 500 companies ranging from $500,000 businesses to $10 billion enterprises. Blake is a TEDx alumnus, and a professional speaker who has presented to organizations including Vistage, Entrepreneurs’ Organization, YPO, Keller Williams, and Direct Selling University. He’s also been a guest on podcasts such as Everything The Don’t Tell You, Building the Good Life, The CO1 Show, Let’s Get Real with Stephen Jones, and many more.
