  EP 16: A Millionaire Dropped a Laminated Card on the Floor. It Changed the Way I Live. 05.08.2026 2t 23min

  The guest cancelled last minute, so this one's just Paul and George with a live audience and no script — which turned out to be the whole point. It became one of the most honest conversations they've had, and going by the chat, it hit a nerve. More audience interaction than any episode yet. It starts with the domain you bought in 2019. The course you never finished. The book that's still half in your head after you paid a ghostwriter twenty-five grand. The thing you were early on, ready to move on, and then watched someone blow right past you and build the exact business you'd imagined. George names it plainly, and then asks the question underneath it: why do we let that happen — and how do people get back on track once the chain of distractions has pulled them years off course? Paul's answer is the kind of reframe that makes you put the episode on pause. Drawing on Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy, he floats an unpopular idea he's slowly come around to: maybe the procrastination isn't a discipline problem at all. Maybe it's information. Maybe the thing you keep failing to start is your gut telling you it was never aligned with who you actually are — that you're not in flow, you're just repeatedly rowing a boat into the same wall. He ties it to the eight-billionaires quiz (eight completely different ways people have built fortunes online) and the point that "I tried making money online and it didn't work" usually just means you tried the one path that fit you worst. Then comes the story that anchors the whole episode. Years ago, before Rethink existed, Paul watched the first millionaire he'd ever met in real life buy a coffee — and drop a small laminated card on the floor. It was his goals, printed and carried in his wallet. Paul's instinct was to mock him for it (the safe move, the skeptic's move), and the millionaire didn't flinch. He asked Paul how many people he knew who carried their goals around with them. One. And what percentage of them were millionaires? Then, not unkindly but firmly: "Would you ever just grow up and set your own goals for ten years from now?" On the drive home, Paul pulled out his voice recorder and spoke his ten-year goals into it across every area of life. He'd hit all of them but one within about seven years. The last — attending the Super Bowl — he checked off in 2018, flying to Minneapolis alone to watch the Eagles win. The back half turns vulnerable in a way this show does better than most. George tells the story of standing up in Jeff Walker's Platinum group in his second year — surrounded by people with planes and teams and dream lives — and admitting, out loud, that he felt like a fraud. What happened next reframed everything: one after another, people making five and ten million a year said me too. He talks about the two separate masterminds where members confessed they'd been contemplating suicide despite outward success, the guy who did a $1.5M launch and somehow couldn't find where the million went, and why it took a full year of trust before he could ask the room the question he actually needed answered. Then they do something live: audience members drop their own "embarrassing" goals into the chat, and Paul and George read them back one by one — wanting to be fit, feeling like you have to justify being a millionaire, being unsure your podcast will make money — and gently take apart why none of them are embarrassing at all. There's a genuinely useful thread on "tall poppy syndrome," why the rest of the world outside the US is quietly trained to shrink its ambitions, and the Dalai Lama line about filling your own vessel first so you actually have something to give. It wanders, in the best way — into money as a tool versus a weapon, why the wealthy look broke on paper, and a long tangent on Michael Jackson, the media, and what happens to people who refuse to be controlled. If there's a thing you've been meaning to start for years, this episode is either going to get you moving or fr

  EP 15: What Happens When Everyone Is 28 Forever? Mike Filsaime on AI, the Singularity, and Surfing the Wave Instead of Fearing It 31.07.2026 2t 37min

  George has spent most of this podcast's run as the AI doomsayer — bug-out bag ready, be-nice-to-the-machines, waiting for the moment the robots throw the three laws out the window. So when he and Paul finally decided to bring an AI expert onto the show, they both landed on the same name without discussing it: Mike Filsaime. Mike is one of the true OGs of online marketing — a top-five name whenever people talk about the originals — and over the last couple of years he's reinvented himself yet again, coding and launching AI apps at a pace that leaves George floored every time he sees it. He's also the guy who, in a mastermind over a year ago, looked George's doom-and-gloom in the eye and calmly said: every problem we create, we solve. Industries recover. New ones get born that nobody could have predicted. This episode is that argument, fully unpacked. Mike walks through the history of technological panic — the futurist in 1899 who declared everything worth inventing had been invented, the Bernie-Sanders-style outrage that the automobile would put the horse-shoers and street-cleaners out of work. Except the car didn't just kill jobs. It created tire companies, leather manufacturers, headlamp makers, the interstate system, Route 66, roadside America, and the Michelin star (invented by a tire company to get people driving to restaurants). His point: humans don't get flattened by the wave, they learn to surf it. AI won't be different. But he doesn't stay comfortable. The sharpest stretch of the conversation is about the danger nobody can regulate — China open-sourcing frontier-quality models and handing out the weights under an MIT license, which Mike frames as giving away the nuclear material to anyone who can afford a $15,000 server. He gets into why that could be a deliberate play to make energy and intelligence free and detonate the trillion-dollar AI economy from the outside, and why the guardrails the West keeps adding just widen the opening. Then it goes properly big-picture. Mike lays out the difference between AGI, superintelligence, and the singularity — the moment all knowledge converges and we solve math, biology, and aging at once. Which leads to the question that gives this episode its strangest edge: what happens to a civilization when nobody dies? When reverse-aging arrives and everyone's walking around in a 28-year-old body? Do we ration the right to have children? It's the kind of thing that sounds like science fiction until Mike reminds you it's coming whether it's in 50 years or 200. The back half turns human. Both Paul and George are watching the pendulum swing hard against AI clones in their own audiences — people who stop buying from a creator the instant they spot a fake avatar on video. Mike gets candid about what phones and social media are doing to kids: the disappearance of the "third place," the girl who learns her worth from what a lowered neckline does to her view count, the two kids on the same couch giggling because someone texted the group chat. There's a genuinely useful exchange on homeschooling, AI-tailored curriculums, and why the machine that finally personalizes education might help every kid find their superpower years faster than the old system ever did. Paul brings it home from an unexpected place — a week that included speaking at the United Nations, where he watched roomful after roomful of well-meaning people agree, feel good about themselves, leave, and change nothing. His takeaway: no one is coming to manage this for you. It comes down to self-reliance, staying on top of what's actually happening, and deciding how you engage with it. Optimism and unease, sitting in the same room for an hour and a half. Exactly the conversation this moment calls for.

  EP14: How to Buy a Business Without Spending a Penny of Your Own Money 20.07.2026 1t 42min

  Everyone dreams of the big exit — the seven-figure payday, the beach, coconut water in a little tiki glass. George has watched a lot of people chase it. What he's noticed lately is stranger: more than half the people he knows who sold their businesses ended up buying them back. Sometimes at a profit. That's the kind of counterintuitive reality that runs all through this conversation with Jonathan Jay, who's built a career doing something most people file under magic and make-believe: buying profitable, established businesses without putting down a penny of his own money — and teaching others to do the same, even with zero prior business experience. Jonathan started exactly where Paul spent years teaching others to start: he wrote a book called Sack Your Boss about quitting your job and building something from scratch. Then he realized the hard truth almost nobody says out loud — buying a business that already makes money is far easier than starting one that doesn't. No standing start. No zero-momentum grind. No investing your savings just to feel like you're already behind. The setup for why this works right now is the part worth sitting with. There are millions of businesses for sale and almost no qualified buyers. The number one reason businesses come up for sale is retirement — the boomer generation is aging out, and their kids don't want the plastic-bottle factory, they want to be influencers. The family business as an institution is quietly dying, which means a wave of profitable, systemized companies is hitting the market with barely anyone positioned to catch it. Jonathan makes the case that it's a buyer's market so lopsided that even a hundred thousand new buyers wouldn't bump into each other. From there it gets practical, and Jonathan doesn't hold back on the mechanics: Why likability beats knowledge and a better offer — sellers who've spent thirty years building something will take less money to hand it to someone who won't gut it. Why you should never buy a business under roughly a million in revenue (buy smaller and you haven't bought a business, you've bought yourself a job working for free — because you're the only maniac crazy enough to work for nothing to protect your investment). The "who runs it when you're on holiday?" question that unlocks the whole model — because the answer is usually a person who's been there twenty years, knows more than the owner, and is one promotion away from running the whole thing for you. The UK strategy of buying the commercial real estate alongside the business so you make money twice and sidestep the deposit and most of the tax. And the sharpest test in the whole episode: i f the business you're buying can't afford the legal fees to do the deal, it's the wrong business. There's also a grounded exchange about AI in deal-making — George used it to review his own contracts and found it both genuinely helpful and quietly dangerous, inventing passages that weren't there and missing everything a lawyer with twenty years of scars would catch. Jonathan's take on where AI helps and where it'll get you hurt is worth the listen. If some part of you has ever thought about owning a business but couldn't stomach the risk of starting one from zero — this episode rearranges what you thought was possible.

  EP13: Everyone's Content Is Fake Now. Here's Why We Both Stopped Watching. 16.07.2026 1t 57min

  Both of us caught ourselves doing the same thing recently: the second we sense a video is AI-generated, we scroll straight past it. Not because AI is bad — we're about as pro-AI as two people get — but because we're no longer sure it's them. And if we can't tell what's real anymore, neither can your audience. That's the thread running through this whole episode. It kicks off with Ryan Levesque's new book Return to Real and the growing sense among people we know and respect that we're heading into a moment where the only thing that'll cut through is authentic, human, personal connection. The irony isn't lost on anyone: the more powerful the tools get, the more valuable it becomes to be unmistakably, verifiably you. George and Paul get into the "AI slop" flooding every feed — the fake fifty-grand-in-five-seconds reels, the "secrets are in the chat" prompt farmers gaming the algorithm — and why that whole game has quietly trained people to tune out. Then it gets practical. Paul lays out how he'd build a business today if he were starting from a blank page: AI in the dead center, and only then the question of how many humans you actually need around it. He makes the case that newbies have a hidden advantage here — no legacy payroll, no established relationships to unwind, no emotional cost to designing lean from day one. George counters with the honest, messy reality of doing it the other way: three months working harder than he has in a decade after selling his 23-year-old company on an earnout, rebuilding every system from scratch, and then re-hiring the human executive assistant he'd let go — because some calls, like coordinating speakers for a live summit, still shouldn't come from a machine. (His EA's reaction when he told her to be "more AI efficient" is worth the listen on its own.) Out of that comes a live pitch for an AI-centered business think tank — disassemble your company, put the black box in the middle, rebuild. But the episode doesn't stay in tactics. The back half turns into the kind of conversation this show does best. Paul makes his case that "balance" isn't something you chase — it already exists, and you're just not seeing it. Drawing on John Demartini, he argues your bank statement is a confession: you already spend your money in perfect alignment with your true values, and the word "money" itself spells out "my one" — my one most important thing. There's the uncomfortable line about what your forties reveal about your real priorities, why 80% of lottery winners go broke (they've had a spending plan since childhood and never a wealth plan), and why comparing yourself to a millionaire on his third marriage is a rigged game. It closes on the journey itself — why kids are more excited on the way to the airport than at the hotel, why the drop is the best part of the roller coaster, and why so many people quietly sabotage the goal they claim to want, because staying on the journey feels safer than the empty baseline that comes right after you finally arrive. Oh, and George found money in his account from print-on-demand recipe books he wrote fifteen years ago and forgot about. Sometimes the old work just keeps paying. Two hours. No script. Real humans, talking about how to stay real. Free tool mentioned in this episode: Paul shares a free piece of software (CFO Sylvia) that lets you upload your financial statements and see exactly where your money goes — mapped against what you actually value.

  EP 12: Kids Are Making Five Grand a Month Washing Cars. What's Your Excuse? 10.07.2026 2t 14min

  Every few years someone credible tells you to get out of the market. A big brokerage quietly warns its top clients. A famous author predicts the greatest collapse of all time. And they're always right — eventually. Which, as Paul points out, is exactly what makes the advice almost useless. This episode starts as a proper back-and-forth about money and ends somewhere far more practical: a full playbook for generating income this week, from nothing, no matter where you're starting. Paul opens with a recap of Rethink's first ever Speaker Summit — 400 registered, 250 showing up live — and why, in a world racing to clone everyone, he thinks the smarter move is to double down on being more authentically you. That leads into the launch of the new Rethink Podcast training program, where members get their first episode live within five days. Then the money conversation kicks off, and the two of them don't fully agree — which is what makes it worth listening to. George's gut says land, gold, and crypto, and he's wary of a market where every guru has suddenly pivoted to the same story (a classic sign, in his experience, that the smart money has already moved). Paul, a qualified financial advisor who's toured with Robert Kiyosaki for five years, makes the case for dollar-cost averaging, why the market "averages" 8–12% a year while almost never actually returning 8–12% in any given year, and why the courage to buy at maximum fear is so rare that the only reliable way to do it is to automate the decision before the fear arrives. George shares a strange cyclical market-timing chart he's been researching, and they get into Apple's 3.4% savings account, Elon becoming a trillionaire, and why "I don't trust Elon — but I trust the bank" might not be the flex people think it is. The back half is where it turns into something you can act on tonight. Paul walks through the wealth pyramid he learned from John Demartini — starting with the unglamorous first goal of setting aside three months of expenses so you never have to take a job from a position of weakness. Then both of them open up the vault on making money fast when you have none: the neighborhood car-wash subscription kids are running for five grand a month, the decluttering service where you sell people's unwanted stuff online for a cut (start at 10%, though George argues most people will happily give you 50%), the scrap-metal guy pulling several hundred dollars a day out of other people's junk, house-sitting your way around the world for free, and renting out the big bedrooms while you move into the box room to light a fire under yourself. Paul got out of his job in 2009 doing exactly that. There's also a genuinely useful stretch on the boring-but-critical stuff: why you interview several accountants before picking one (and why the wrong one gives you nothing but no's), when a solopreneur actually needs an LLC, how to legally run everyday costs through a business, and why Paul tells everyone to buy a physical nameplate with their name and "CEO" on it — because an employee shows up asking what they can get, and an employer shows up asking what they can give. It closes on a point worth sitting with: there's junk food for your mind the same way there's junk food for your body. If you want to know how you got where you are financially, follow the breadcrumbs back to what you've been feeding yourself — then cut it off.

  EP11: The Person You Love Most Is Built to Trigger You the Most — Guest Rory Kilmartin 02.07.2026 1t 57min

  Two people meet. They're kind. They love each other. They wake up every morning genuinely wanting the best for one another. On paper, it should be Disney. So why do so many of them end up taking each other into a private hell? That question has consumed Rory Kilmartin for the better part of 40 years, and the answer he's spent two decades excavating is not the one you'll hear from most relationship coaches. It's darker, stranger, and — once you sit with it — far more useful. This is the episode that, as Paul puts it, this whole podcast wouldn't exist without. It was Rory who first connected Paul and George. The R in Rethink stands for relationships, and Paul has always said it belongs at the front of the framework for a reason — because almost everything else people chase, the money, the six-pack, the spiritual search, is usually an attempt to fill a void that started in a relationship. Rory is the man Paul went looking for after his eldest daughter was diagnosed with autism and he learned that parents in his situation divorce at a rate north of 85 percent. Rory's core idea is that the prime directive of human life isn't happiness — it's maturation. We're supposed to grow, and the mechanism that forces that growth is struggle, loss, and failure. Love is just the grease in the wheels. It bonds you to the one person guaranteed to surface every unresolved part of you. He reframes the "seven-year itch" not as boredom but as the moment two people can no longer hide their dysfunction from each other, and have to decide whether they're staying anyway. Then he gets into the framework that made George stop him mid-dinner and demand an introduction: the idea that there are four fundamentally different types of human operating systems, each splitting into two, and that we are invisibly, powerfully drawn to bond for life with our opposite. Not our match. Our opposite. Which is exactly why it's so hard, and exactly why it's supposed to be. The conversation doesn't stay safe. George pushes on the questions people actually lose sleep over: How do you know whether it's you that needs to grow, or whether you've married someone you should leave? Rory's answer — built around what he calls minimum acceptable awareness, the capacity to apologize and introspect — is one of the most practical things said in the whole two hours. They get into whether everyone's just going to end up in love with their AI (Rory thinks it's close to inevitable, and explains why), what the post-feminist dating landscape and Tinder-style apps are quietly doing to people, why Jordan Peterson's line about the loneliness waiting at 45 landed so hard, and the old Mormon idea Rory keeps returning to: you lift me and I'll lift thee, and we'll ascend together. He closes on the single word he lands on after 40 years and thousands of conversations, when people ask him what actually makes a relationship work. It isn't communication. It isn't respect. It's devotion — and his case for it is worth staying to the end for. If you've ever wondered why the people you love most are the ones who bring out the worst in you, this one rearranges something.

  EP10: The Only Money Habit Everyone on Earth Has Mastered Is... Getting Rid of It 24.06.2026 2t 11min

  The week SpaceX went public and turned Elon into the world's first trillionaire, Paul and George started where everyone else did — but ended up somewhere almost nobody goes on a podcast. The first half is the news. Why the hate aimed at Elon has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with which team he picked. Why most of the outrage is bot-driven noise from people who don't understand the difference between having a trillion dollars and being worth a trillion dollars. And the uncomfortable observation underneath all of it: the people winning the media game aren't reacting to the news — they're three moves ahead, manipulating the media's manipulation of them, while everyone else stays predictably, profitably angry. George shares what he's building — a stem cell clinic going fully mobile, a new book written in a weekend, and a 2am conversation with his girlfriend where he admitted he feels like he's on a treadmill going nowhere despite doing everything "right." That confession turns into one of the more honest exchanges they've had about who actually benefits from the system the rest of us are grinding inside of. Paul also drops some news of his own: he's been invited to speak at the UN in July, the latest twist in what he calls an overnight success that started ten years ago. Then the back half opens up, and this is the part to stay for. Paul — a qualified financial advisor who once got challenged by a journalist asking what gave him the right to teach kids about money — lays out a theory he's been testing across 36 countries. His finding: the single most disciplined, automated financial habit human beings share, regardless of nationality or income, is spending money through direct debit. We systematize getting rid of our money better than we systematize anything else in our lives. Your whole financial plan, in advance, is a breakup plan for cash you haven't even earned yet. From there it's a full teardown of the language designed to keep you in debt (why it's a "credit" card and never a "debit score"), the difference between good debt and bad debt explained in one clean test, why the bank says yes to the loans that hurt you and no to the ones that would make you rich, and why middle-class parents recoiled from the financial-literacy program Paul built for children as if he were handing out the devil's work. The reason had nothing to do with the kids. It closes on something quieter and more useful: a conversation about digital detox, why both of them now guard their mornings and kill the screens at night, and the trap of late-night AI rabbit holes — where the only goal of the thing you're talking to is to keep you engaged, and you're fighting something smarter than you at the exact hour you're weakest.

  EP9: I'm in 20 Masterminds. Here's What Most People Get Wrong About All of Them 15.06.2026 2t 1min

  Paul thought he was in 12 or 13 masterminds. When he actually sat down and counted, it was 20. George's immediate response was to call for an intervention. But that number — and the reaction it gets — is actually the perfect entry point into a conversation most entrepreneurs never have honestly. What do masterminds actually do for you? What separates one worth $40,000 a year from a glorified seminar with a fancy name? And why do 60 to 70 percent of the things calling themselves masterminds have almost nothing in common with what a real one looks like? This episode is a full breakdown. George lays out his multi-million-dollar mastermind framework built from decades of running and attending them — including the hot seat structure borrowed and refined from Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula group that most people run completely wrong. There's a reason the person in the hot seat isn't allowed to talk. There's a reason you need an advocate explaining your problem instead of you. And there's a reason twelve minutes, structured a very specific way, produces better results than an open-ended hour. Paul walks through what he's actually getting out of being in 20 groups simultaneously — from a $25,000 NFT mastermind to a WhatsApp group of speakers that grew out of a Clubhouse room during COVID to a South African safari with investors. The common thread across all of them isn't tactics. It's the moment you realize the person you looked up to has the same problems you do, and the person you underestimated knows something that just saved you six months. They also get into whether AI can replace a mastermind — and both land on the same answer, but for different reasons. George has been building out Claude with markdown files that function as a persistent memory system for his business. Paul's take is more blunt: AI will tell you your ideas are amazing. A room full of people who've already made the mistake you're about to make will not. Other topics covered: the "give, give, give, ask" formula that's stuck with George since the early days, why networking inside a mastermind will destroy it, the baby boomer business acquisition opportunity hiding in plain sight, how one $20,000 day of consulting turned into seven figures, why George went from 22 employees down to one — with AI handling the rest — and the real-time brainstorm about whether Paul and George should launch their own mastermind for entrepreneurs at the beginning of the journey. If you've ever wondered whether a mastermind is worth it, which kind is right for where you are, or how to actually implement what you learn instead of leaving with a notebook full of ideas you'll never touch — this is the episode.

  EP8: You're Not Sick. You're Stuck. Dr. Doug Lehrer on the Hidden Root Cause of Almost Everything 09.06.2026 2t 3min

  Good one to work with — this episode goes deep into territory most podcasts won't touch, and that's exactly what makes it worth selling properly. Here's your title and description: TITLE: You're Not Sick. You're Stuck. Dr. Doug Lehrer on the Hidden Root Cause of Almost Everything DESCRIPTION: The man sitting across from George in this episode has spent 40 years and hundreds of thousands of sessions helping people heal things doctors told them were incurable. Not with medication. Not with surgery. Not with talk therapy. With something most people have never heard of — and once they hear it explained, can't stop thinking about. Dr. Doug Lehrer is the founder of Cellular Resonance, a quantum energy healing modality built on one core premise: almost every chronic illness, financial block, relationship pattern, and self-sabotaging behavior has a root cause buried somewhere in the body's cellular memory. Trauma — your own, your parents', your grandparents' — gets stored in the body at a level no conversation can reach. And until it's cleared from that level, it just keeps running the show. This is the Rethink podcast's first ever in-person guest interview, and it earns every minute of its two-hour runtime. Dr. Doug opens by talking about a man worth $300 million who was still living in survival mode — still chasing a number he believed would finally make him feel safe. That's the entry point into a conversation about why trauma isn't just what happened to you, it's what your nervous system is still reacting to decades later, often without you knowing it. The stress your mother carried during pregnancy. The financial collapse that wiped out your family three generations back. The boss who criticizes you the exact same way your mother did — because energetically, you've been advertising for that experience your entire life. He walks through the science — and there is science — behind how muscle testing works, why the body knows the difference between truth and a lie before the conscious mind does, and how he's able to ask the cells themselves what's causing the problem. He shares case after case that would be easy to dismiss as impossible until you hear the details. The woman with fibromyalgia whose symptoms dissolved in 15 minutes. The screenwriters who hadn't slept in days because they'd been writing since their session ended. The mother whose son had been giving her the middle finger twice a day for 25 years — and stopped forever after two and a half hours of work that never involved the son at all. There's a frank conversation about plant medicine — Dr. Doug's take is more nuanced and more critical than most people in this space are willing to say out loud. Same with biohacking technologies like HeartMath and Healy. If you've spent money on those, this part is worth paying attention to. Paul talks openly about his own weekly kinesiology practice, how he uses muscle testing daily to make decisions, and what it felt like the first time a session pinpointed the exact person and situation behind a physical symptom before he'd said a word about it. And running through the whole conversation is something that sounds simple but lands differently the more you sit with it: the root of almost all human suffering — physical, financial, relational — is fear. Not as a feeling you notice, but as a program running underneath everything you do. And it can be cleared. This one will stay with you.

  EP7: The Body You've Been Working For Is Already There — You Just Need to Uncover It 02.06.2026 1t 46min

  Paul's been jogging every day for seven years. No sugar. No bread. No cheese. Cold showers for three and a half years. Gym every single day for a year and a half. And he still looked five months pregnant. That's not a joke — that's the before photo he showed George at a mastermind in Tampa, right before George said "who is that?" and Paul said "that's me." It's also the story that kicks off Episode 7, and it's the perfect entry point into a conversation about why almost everything you've been told about getting in shape is either wrong, incomplete, or conveniently leaving out the part that actually matters. Dave Shanahan has been in the health and fitness space for 31 years. He built a chain of gyms in Limerick, helped thousands of clients transform their bodies, and has lived what he teaches since the age of 17 — when a friend pestered him into setting foot inside a gym for the first and, as it turned out, last first time. He brings the kind of hard-won, science-backed, no-nonsense perspective that's genuinely rare in a space drowning in influencers, supplement ads, and programs designed to keep you coming back rather than getting results. In this episode, the three of them walk through the full Rethink Health framework — the two-week cleanse that strips out the toxin buildup most programs completely ignore, the fat burn phase that uncovers what you've actually built over the years, and the rebuild that turns your body into the metabolic machine it was designed to be. The part that surprises most people? As the program progresses, you end up eating more, not less. They also get into sleep — and Dave makes a case for why it's the most important variable of all, the one that quietly undermines everything else when it's wrong. There's a practical breakdown of the pre-sleep routine that puts him out within three pages of a book every single night, why your phone is the single biggest enemy of real rest, and what actually happens to your body when you finally fix it. Other topics include why the weighing scale is psychological torture for women and what to use instead, how to handle a big night out without undoing your progress, the truth about supplements (most of them are expensive urine), what to do when life throws a curveball and you fall off the plan, and why getting kids into exercise early is one of the most powerful gifts you can give them. George is down 16 pounds. Paul is walking around with a six-pack he earned — and kept. And Dave is 48 with testosterone levels most 25-year-olds would trade for. If your health has been the thing you keep meaning to sort out — this episode is the nudge. Book a $50 health consultation with Dave directly at rsm.one/health101 — he'll review where you're at and build you a plan, whether you join the program or not. Subscribe on Apple and Spotify.

  EP6: Your Future Self Called. Here's What They Said — Plus the Free AI App George Built at 5am 23.05.2026 1t 59min

  Paul and George are back, and Episode 5 might be the most wide-ranging one yet — in the best possible way. George couldn't sleep. So he did what any reasonable person does at midnight: built and launched a free web app. Frequency Nova is a sound tool for binaural beats, solfeggio tones, and deep focus sessions — and he put the whole thing together using Claude AI before most people had their morning coffee. He walks through it live, shows how it works, and explains why he thinks sound frequency is one of the most underused tools for focus, meditation, and mental performance. It's free. Go try it. Then Paul opens the Rethink Planner — the goal-setting system he's been running with his private mentoring clients for years — and breaks the whole thing down live for the first time. The perfect day exercise that most people rush past. The 15-year vision, worked backwards into quarters, months, and daily habits. And the exercise that tends to hit hardest: writing a letter to yourself from 20 or 30 years in the future — then running your face through an aging filter and reading it on video. It sounds strange. Do it anyway. There's also the 100 reasons technique — a tool for turning a goal you keep meaning to start into something you genuinely can't talk yourself out of. Paul breaks down exactly how to use it, why AI can help you take it even further, and why the "or else" column might matter more than the positive list. Also in this episode: George is down 16 pounds using the Rethink Health program and the dad bod is on notice. The physical copy of the Rethink Podcasting book just arrived — you can grab it on Amazon now. The Times Square billboard is eight days out. John Lee hits the New York Times bestseller list live during the show. And a live audience poll — run in real time using Slido — crowns Health as the next big topic, setting up what's coming over the next few weeks. If you've been waiting to start something — a podcast, a goal, a habit, a business — this episode has a few things to say about that. Rethink Podcasting is on Amazon now in print and Kindle.

  EP5: The Grief Receipt, Deleted Videos & Why Your Book Is Your Best Business Card 16.05.2026 2t 8min

  This one went a few places — and that's exactly the point. Paul O'Mahony and George Shepherd kick things off with a debate that's been quietly dividing the entrepreneur world: are live events actually coming back, or is everyone just saying that? From there they wade into the Alex Hormozi/Tony Robbins deleted video saga — not to pile on, but to ask the smarter question underneath it: what does it actually mean when subtraction gets more attention than anything you've ever posted? Then the conversation takes a turn that nobody planned, and it's probably the best part of the episode. Paul opens up about attending a funeral earlier in the week, which leads into a genuinely raw discussion on grief — including a story about Dr. John Demartini standing in front of a room full of strangers and asking a 70-something widower to name the benefits of his wife being dead. It sounds brutal. What happened next was anything but. In the second half, Paul and George get into the practical side of what the Rethink experiment is actually teaching them in real time: how to rank a new podcast on Apple and Spotify, why your personal book is still one of the most underused trust-building tools in business, and what George is calling the "networked economy" — and why he thinks the window to get in early is closing faster than most people realize. There's also a breakdown of how ChatGPT rebuilt Paul's entire studio backdrop in about 30 seconds, why a 560-page book might actually be four books, and why James Clear says the last few months of writing are the ones that hurt the most. No agenda. No script. Just two people figuring it out live — and bringing you along for the ride. Subscribe if you're getting value from this, a rating goes a long way.

  EP1: RETHiNK Podcasting: Launching Your Podcast Today 06.05.2026 1t 13min

  The podcast hadn’t launched yet. The book hadn’t been written. And we’d already made money and hit bestseller status. In episode one, we’re showing you exactly how — and why the way most people approach podcasting is costing them years of momentum they’ll never get back. AI is flooding the internet with content nobody asked for. Human voices have never been more valuable. And the window to get in early is open right now. This is what it looks like to launch a podcast the right way, in real time, with nothing hidden. Let’s go.
