Host L. Michael Burt closes out the Alignment Reset Series with a practical breakdown of what alignment actually is: not a mindset, not motivation, but a daily leadership practice that creates sustainable momentum in business and life.

If you are an entrepreneur rebuilding after disruption, this episode centers on coherence, awareness, and subtraction. You will learn how heightened self-awareness exposes hidden misalignment, why internal friction is useful information (not a moral failure), and how slowing down helps you recalibrate identity, purpose, and decision-making. Michael also shares why community is a non-negotiable for staying aligned, consistent, and resilient as you grow.

This episode is for founders, creators, and leaders who want intentional alignment, emotional regulation, identity clarity, and long-term business success without burning out.
