Summary

George Haymaker is a former entrepreneur, recovering alcoholic and pain pill addict, now a neuroscience educator plus coach who helps entrepreneurs and other business professionals optimize brain performance and leadership capability using brain science - so they can operate at their highest level without mental overload, decision fatigue, or reactive leadership patterns.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Metacognition gives you power over your thoughts. It allows you to observe and influence your mental activity instead of being at its mercy.

2. Stress is not about the event, it’s about your brain’s interpretation. Reframing challenges as opportunities changes your brain chemistry and improves performance.

3. Transformation happens through repetition. Your brain will rewire itself based on the patterns you consistently practice, making positive change sustainable.
