Jonathan George Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode Seth speaks to Jonathan George, “The Human Hitmaker,” Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Coach about Transforming leaders from ordinary to RockStar status.

Jonathan George is known as “The Human Hitmaker” because of his ability to see people’s untapped

potential, his methods to pull that potential to the surface, and his ability to cultivate it into greatness.

As CEO of JG Entertainment, he has been coaching, branding and launching RockStars in the

entertainment world for 20+ years, as well as creating RockStar brands for top influencers and

entrepreneurs.

Now as the creator of the Unleash Your Rockstar movement, he transforms our future leaders and

entrepreneurs from ordinary... to RockStar status so that they can reach their highest level of impact,

influence, and success.

As the CEO of JG Entertainment, Jonathan George has spent the past two decades coaching,

branding, and launching some of the biggest young ROCKSTARS in the entertainment industry, as

well as creating Rockstar brands for top influencers and entrepreneurs. During those years, he has

witnessed the lack of self-confidence to be the greatest defeater of people walking in their greatness.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a C-level executive or a solopreneur, you must have unshakeable confidence

to rock the world with influence, impact, and success. But fear is the #1 thing holding you back --

the fear of not knowing your true talents or how to use those gifts, not knowing how to stand out

in the world authentically, and the fear of not being good enough. This cripples you from being the

successful leader and entrepreneur you desire to be.

Jonathan’s deep passion to help people step into their greatness comes from his own dark struggles

of self-discovery. At age 26, he was named the Grand Champion Winner on Ed McMahon’s “Next Big

Star.” His dreams were coming true as a brand-new record deal slid across the table... and then they

discovered he was gay. He was left with no deal, no direction, and his dreams shattered.

Despite his team’s efforts to change him into who everyone else thought he should be, all Jonathan

heard was: “You’re. Not. Good. Enough.” He had already endured a lifetime of bullying for not being a

“sports” kid, and as the son of a preacher, he was told that he could never fulfill his life’s purpose. He

didn’t know who he was or how to show up in the world. He truly felt he wasn’t good enough. That’s

when he vowed to become the kind of coach he so badly needed in his own life: not someone who

wanted to CHANGE him, but someone to help him ROCK the person he already was.

His success in creating superstars comes from his core belief:

“There is a RockStar already in you. It just needs the tools and permission to be unleashed.”

Brian Ridgway Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode Seth speaks to Brian D. Ridgway , "The Spellbreaker" and Founder at Level 5 Transformational Mentoring , about Self-improvement being a booby-trapped and what if there is actually a way to change your life - in all areas, all at once - by finding and shifting the ONE hidden issue creating all of the stuckness?

Coming from an abusive childhood and then living with the outcomes of that on-going pain, the author invested $300,000+, 30+ years and tens of thousands of hours on self-help, personal development and business/money/success courses - as his life grew steadily worse.

Finding himself, homeless, desperate, suicidal and stuck, he experienced an awakening that took him from homeless to living the dream in Hawaii in less than 90 days.

Since that “miracle moment”, he has been able to help thousands around the world to take their first steps into true freedom.

As program after program failed to deliver the promised “full package” of transformation, Brian became as a self-proclaimed Self-Help Junkie - eventually investing over $300,000 and tens of thousands of hours into his desperate quest for a life that “worked”.

After nearly 30 years of intense research into religious, spiritual, self-help and personal development approaches failed to solve his core issues, he abandoned his skepticism and dove into more “alternative” approaches: energy work, Law of Attraction study and experimentation, belief-elimination, binaural brain-wave entrainment, meditation and “higher” spiritual approaches. His inability to find the transformation he was seeking, and the conflicting information in the self-help work led him to deeper and deeper desperation and depression.

At the end of his rope, homeless and suicidal, in early 2011, he experienced his “Miracle Moment”, and went from the idea of Infinite Possibilities to the experience of Infinite Possibilities. In that awakening moment, he was given the teaching that he calls, “The Level 5 Paradigm”.

Brian teaches the Level 5 Paradigm, taking people directly into the experience of Awakening and Liberation. His process includes what he calls “Spellbreaks”; through which he helps people release any undesired experiences - in any areas of life.

Literal miracles and spontaneous healings are regular occurrences when Brian speaks or works with people - in his programs, workshops and live events with private clients and with his audiences, online and off.

His ability to help people experience instant, deep and lasting breakthroughs is bringing him a rapidly expanding global following.

Brian D. Ridgway is known to his clients as “The Spellbreaker”. Although Brian doesn’t refer to himself in these terms, people who have experienced Brian’s work have referred to him as a Spiritual Teacher and Healer.

A Shaman, Speaker and #1 International Best-Selling Author, Brian helps people, mostly entrepreneurs and change-makers to step out of “the illusion of problems” and into the Conscious Creation of the body, health, business, wealth, relationships, life and world of their dreams.
