Unbroken Business Support Podcast With Michael Anthony
Hosted by Michael Anthony · EN
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.

Transcribe →The Archeologist, The Artifact, The Architect: A New Way To Heal Trauma | with Kristen Crabtree
Jun 200:47:41Tap to summarizeImagine if everything blocking you from becoming who you really are started with the questions you ask yourself. What if you are not broken, you are just buried? In this powerful Think Unbroken Podcast episode, Michael Unbroken sits down with Kristen Crabtree to talk about moving from trauma and survival mode into emotional sobriety, truth, and self‑reclamation.Kristen shares her raw journey from childhood sexual assault and a 22‑year psychologically abusive marriage into freedom, healing, and designing a new identity built on authenticity instead of adaptation. She breaks down her unique framework of the Archaeologist, the Artifact, and the Architect – a process of excavating your truth, sorting what is real from the masks you wear, and then consciously building a life that aligns with who you actually are.You will learn how trauma, prolonged stress, and narcissistic abuse shape your identity, create survival‑mode behaviors, and turn your nervous system into an addict for stress chemicals like cortisol, adrenaline, and the trauma‑bond mix of oxytocin and dopamine. Michael and Kristen unpack why you keep repeating the same toxic patterns, why leaving does not instantly “fix” you, and why becoming emotionally sober is harder than quitting alcohol.Kristen also shares how discovering Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, finding a book she wrote in 1999, and revisiting her own exercises helped her build a practical “jig” – a decision‑making tool based on your deepest values, passions, and truths. When you know your truth, she explains, decisions become clear, motivation flows naturally, and you no longer need to white‑knuckle discipline or live for external validation.Michael brings his own story of growing up in severe abuse, having an ACE score of 10, being 350 pounds, chain‑smoking, and stuck in chaos, to show how identity theft is the hidden cost of trauma – and how reclaiming your identity is more important than “fixing” yourself. Together they explore why tools like meditation, therapy, coaching, journaling, nervous system work, and honest self‑reflection actually work: they interrupt the thought‑emotion‑behavior loop and create space in the pause for a different choice.If you have ever asked yourself “Who am I really?” after a toxic relationship, childhood trauma, loss, burnout, or major life transition, this conversation will help you start your own excavation and remember your magnificence.In this episode (timestamps approximate)00:00 – Why the questions you ask shape your life and identity02:00 – From trauma to truth: Kristen’s framework of Archaeologist, Artifact, Architect05:00 – Survival mode, masks, and the theft of identity after trauma08:40 – Narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, and realizing “It’s not you”11:00 – Discovering Dr. Joe Dispenza and learning to hear your true self15:20 – Excavation exercises and building your personal “jig” for decisions20:00 – Ignoring your truth, panic attacks, and the cost of living out of alignment24:00 – Emotional addiction: why your body is hooked on stress chemicals30:10 – Grief, loss, and realizing you are still chasing your biochemical “fix”35:30 – Why healing tools work: interrupting the thought–emotion–behavior loop39:30 – Self‑revelation vs self‑reclamation and designing YOU 2.044:00 – Masks, authenticity, and choosing when you adapt on purpose47:20 – What it really means to be UnbrokenKey topics coveredEmotional sobriety and breaking addiction to stress and chaosMoving from survival mode and adaptation into authenticity and peaceNarcissistic abuse, gaslighting, blame‑shifting, and trauma bondsIdentity after childhood trauma, divorce, job loss, and other major shocksHow your thoughts, emotions, chemicals, and behaviors create a loop that keeps you stuckPractical tools to pause, regulate your nervous system, and choose differentlyExcavation questions and exercises to uncover your true selfBuilding a values‑based “jig” for fast, aligned decisions in work, love, and lifeAbout our guest – Kristen CrabtreeKristen Crabtree helps people move from trauma or adaptation to truth by guiding them through an excavation process to uncover their authentic self and then architect a life aligned with that truth.
