The Unbroken Business Support Podcast is where serious entrepreneurs and business owners come to build real seven‑figure companies, not chase shortcuts or guru nonsense. Every episode is built around the core BSG mission helping founders, executives, and operators embrace adversity, forge resilience, and install the structures required for a business that scales without breaking the person running it. We go deep into the full triad of business sales, marketing, and mission and then extend into leadership, teams and hiring, brand and positioning, AI and technology, and execution and systems, using the Six Pillar framework you run your business on in real life. This is where we turn pipeline chaos, team bottlenecks, and founder overwhelm into clarity, accountability, and disciplined execution so you can build a company that is dependent on processes, not personalities. Inside the show, you will hear conversations and tactical breakdowns with some of the most respected operators, strategists, and creators in the game including Tom Bilyeu, Leila Hormozi, Vishen Lakhiani, David Meltzer, Gino Wickman, Amy Porterfield, Jenna Kutcher, Tim Storey, Damon Burton, Anthony Trucks, David Shands, and James Lawrence, alongside solo episodes and BSG trainings focused on the real problems breaking your business. These are not highlight‑reel interviews; they are working sessions that connect story to structure so you can immediately apply what you hear to sales, marketing, leadership, and long‑term scale in your own company. The podcast is hosted by Michael Anthony, founder of Unbroken Business Support Group and Think Unbroken, an entrepreneur, award‑winning keynote speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host whose work sits at the intersection of business strategy, human performance, and leadership under pressure. Michael brings nearly 20 years of leadership and entrepreneurship to every conversation he built the Six Pillar framework from hard‑earned experience, has personally led hundreds of team members across sales, marketing, and operations, and has helped thousands of leaders convert adversity into strategic advantage. He started this podcast for one reason to help entrepreneurs and business owners tell themselves the truth, take ownership, and understand that they actually have the power to build the business of their dreams and impact the world.

    Ayahuasca Healing Journey: From Depression And Loss To Spiritual Transformation | With Yasha Shah

    It’s amazing what can happen when you step outside your comfort zone and answer the call of ayahuasca for deep healing and spiritual transformation. In this powerful conversation, Michael Unbroken sits down with ayahuasca guide and retreat leader Yasha Shah to unpack what really happens in the medicine space – beyond the hype, beyond the biohacking, and beyond the Instagram retreats. You’ll hear Yasha’s raw story of battling depression, ADHD and desperation, trying everything from psychiatry to Reiki before finally traveling to Peru for a 21‑day immersive ayahuasca experience that changed his life – and then seemed to “stop working” when old patterns returned months later. After losing about 2.5 million dollars in the stock market and facing his own dark night of the soul, Yasha went back out into the world, spending a year in Nepal and India searching for gurus in the Himalayas, only to realize that no one else could save him – and that true healing demanded a different kind of spiritual honesty and responsibility. In this episode, you’ll learn: What ayahuasca is and how Indigenous Amazonians discovered and combined specific plants like ayahuasca and chacruna to create the medicine, against impossible odds in a jungle of tens of thousands of species.How tribes in Peru and Colombia understand trauma as “soul loss” – and why they use ayahuasca not only for healing, but also for hunting, finding medicine plants, communicating with ancestors, and navigating the spiritual world, including the darker side of brujeria and energetic attacks.Why many Western seekers focus only on DMT, the default mode network and “inner child work,” while Indigenous healers emphasize spiritual and energetic dimensions that can’t be reduced to brain science alone. Michael also shares his own firsthand experience drinking ayahuasca with Shipibo healers in a small group with multiple shamans and dedicated facilitators, including one night where he felt the crushing weight of every soul’s energy in the room until a shaman performed an intense energetic clearing with tobacco, blessed water and song that changed everything in an instant. As a self‑described rational, skeptical, Type‑A personality, Michael breaks down why this ceremony shattered his disbelief and opened him to a deeper understanding of plant medicine and spiritual reality. If you’re curious about: Ayahuasca for depression, trauma and spiritual healingHow to think about safety, lineage and integrity when choosing a retreat or shamanThe real difference between quick‑fix “biohacking” and long‑term, spiritually grounded healing…this conversation will give you grounded insight from both a skeptical entrepreneur and a student‑turned‑guide who has lived this path across Peru, Colombia, Nepal and India. Watch until the end for practical reflections on how to approach ayahuasca responsibly, what questions to ask before you sit with any facilitator, and why some people don’t get lasting results – plus what might be missing in their healing process from a spiritual and energetic perspective.

    Before There Are Crimes: Childhood Trauma And Juvenile Justice | With Wendy Smith

    Most people think kids who commit violent crimes are just “bad seeds” – but the truth is far more complex and rooted in childhood trauma, foster care, and survival. In this in‑depth conversation, Michael Unbroken sits down with Wendy B. Smith, author of Before There Are Crimes, to explore what really leads young people into juvenile justice and adult prison.

    How Sibling Trauma Shapes Resilience, Healing, and Growth | With Kathleen Harnish and Karen Dickson

    Here is an SEO‑optimized YouTube description tailored to this episode: Growing up in the same home does not mean you live the same story. In this powerful conversation, Michael Unbroken sits down with sisters Kathleen Harnish McKune and Karen Dickerson to explore how siblings can experience the same traumatic household in completely different ways and still find a path to healing together. They share the reality of incest, sexual abuse, violence, manipulation, and emotional neglect in their childhood, and how those experiences shaped their identities, health, and relationships well into adulthood. You will hear how one sister became the “second mother” and dissociated to survive, while the other carried a high pain tolerance, dissociated from her body, and tried to protect everyone else. Together they break down: How adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact the brain, body, and long‑term healthWhy emotional dysregulation, hot tempers, people pleasing, and lack of boundaries are trauma responses, not personality flawsThe role of sibling competition, being ranked and rated, and being pitted against each other by abusive parentsWhat it really looks like to reconnect as adults, repair sibling relationships, and become best friends after years of isolation and estrangementYou will also learn about the 5 Rs of resilience from their book “Remarkably Resilient Community Matters”, why understanding the neuroscience of trauma shifts the question from “What is wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?”, and how regulation practices like breathwork, somatic work, meditation, and self‑care can help widen your window of tolerance. If you grew up in a traumatic home, have a high ACE score, struggle with anger, shutdown, anxiety, people‑pleasing, chronic illness or chaotic relationships, this episode will show you that you are not alone and that healing is a lifelong journey, not a one‑time event.
