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.

Wendy shares research and real stories from former juvenile offenders so you can understand the hidden factors behind youth crime, recidivism, and why punishment without healing doesn’t work. If you work in mental health, foster care, juvenile justice – or you grew up in chaos yourself – this episode will challenge the myths about “criminal kids” and show why early support and trauma‑informed care matter.

    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.

    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.

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.
