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.

    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.

    Stop Living In Fight‑Or‑Flight: Practical Tools To Get Back To Baseline | With Sophia Torrini

    In a world drowning in anxiety, overwhelm, and constant pressure, what if your “anxiety” is not anxiety at all – but an old survival pattern your nervous system learned to keep you safe ? In this powerful conversation, Michael Unbroken sits down with nervous system specialist and creator of the Pattern Override Method, Sophia Tortarini, to unpack how to get back to baseline, regulate your body, and finally feel safe in your own skin again. If you have ever walked into a room, read a message, or heard a certain tone and felt your chest tighten or your stomach drop before your mind could catch up, this episode is for you. Sophia explains why that response is not weakness or “brokenness” – it is a survival pattern your body wired in the past and was never told the danger was over. She shares how most of what we call anxiety is actually this pattern, how it once saved you, and how it may now be quietly costing you your peace, your relationships, and even your career, just like it almost cost hers. You will learn: Why most day‑to‑day “anxiety” is actually a survival pattern, not a real‑time threat responseThe core principles behind Sophia’s Pattern Override Method and how it works directly at the nervous system level in real time, not just by talking about your past or visualizing your futureThe 90‑second to 2‑minute chemistry window: what actually happens in your body during a fear response and how looping thoughts turn a 90‑second wave into 30 minutes of panicPractical tools to interrupt the pattern in the moment, calm your nervous system, and “cut off” the old neural signal over time by repeatedly sending an opposite signalWhy “the peace is in the pause,” and how delaying big decisions, moving your body, meditating, and journaling can keep you from burning everything down when you are triggeredTimestamp highlights: 00:00 – Why we are bathed in anxiety and overwhelm today 01:00 – Sophia’s definition of survival patterns vs anxiety and the Pattern Override Method 03:00 – How patterns show up in body language, relationships, work, and daily life 04:00 – Nature, nurture, and why constant fight/flight/freeze/fawn does not have to be your baseline 15:00 – The 90‑second chemistry rule and how to stop emotional looping with real‑time pattern interrupts 17:00 – “The peace is in the pause” – how to build a regulated decision‑making practice that actually sticks If you are an entrepreneur, leader, or high‑performer who feels constantly on edge, reactive, or stuck in the same emotional loops no matter how much mindset work you do, this episode will give you a body‑based roadmap to real change. Come learn how to override survival mode, reset your nervous system, and break the habit of being the old you – one regulated breath and one interrupted pattern at a time.

    In this powerful conversation, Michael Unbroken and coach Paul Levitin break down why more information is not the answer to changing your life and what actually works instead.
