Today on the podcast I have Part 3 (the final part) of a behind the scenes look at a conversation I had with my good friend...the Founder and CEO of Bhood Clothing, Patrick Baker Jr. Bhood is a global brand that Patrick started out of his van and grew to the point that he is now selling to the WORLD. He has a unique way of helping you to understand that your reality is created from within and that you truly have the ability to Create Your Best Life if you will tap into the greatness you have inside you.
Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I’m George Wright III, and today I’m sharing part three of an exclusive interview with Patrick Baker, founder of the global apparel brand B'hood.
Before we dive in, here’s your quote of the day from Helen Keller:
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows."
A perfect reminder that what we focus on shapes our reality—and that’s exactly what today’s conversation is all about.
Patrick shares that 75–80% of the average person’s thoughts and subconscious programming are actually working against them. Most people don’t even question their thinking—they just assume their thoughts are truth.
But when you ask, “Who’s the one thinking these thoughts?”—you create space to detach from them and realize: you are not your thoughts. You are a product of the perceptions you’ve developed from your environment, your upbringing, and your conditioning.
Your reality isn’t shaped by what’s happening—it’s shaped by how you perceive what’s happening. Two people can look at the same photo and experience completely different emotions. Why? Because your perception—not the event—is creating your emotional response.
This same idea applies to your daily life. Your thoughts, words, emotions, and imagination are constantly broadcasting a frequency that shapes your results.
Want to know why you're succeeding in some areas and stuck in others? Track your energy.
If all your attention is going to business, but not your relationships or health, those areas will struggle. Focus is energy. And your energy is building your life whether you’re aware of it or not.
The key is to disrupt the cycle of self-sabotage by recognizing the ego. Patrick recommends naming anything that pulls you out of your natural state of peace and presence—anger, fear, reaction, distraction—and simply calling it ego.
By doing this consciously and consistently, you begin to burn new patterns into your subconscious. Just like learning to drive, the process starts with full awareness, and over time it becomes automatic. You create distance from the illusion and begin living from a more authentic place.
The further you get from the “movie screen” of life—the programmed illusions of fear, comparison, and identity—the more you reconnect with your true self. This is the divine nature within you.
Eventually, the big distractions lose their grip. Then the small ones begin to fade. What’s left is peace, clarity, and power. Patrick calls this your “natural state”—pure love and limitless light.
And when you get there, you stop seeing the world through ego. You stop identifying with your story. You begin to see God in you, and others. You tap into something deeper than circumstance.
Most people live their lives inside the “movie” of their mind, reacting to every scene as if it's real. But life changes when you realize you can pull back from the screen and watch without being consumed.
Your subconscious mind is already running the show 90% of the time. The goal is to intentionally reprogram it. That’s the path to true freedom and lasting change.
This is what Patrick calls leveling up—not just in business, but in your mindset and your life.
This final part of our interview with Patrick Baker is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to return to our most powerful, peaceful, and natural state. But it starts with awareness, daily rituals, and the courage to separate from ego.
Thanks for tuning in. Don’t forget to share this episode with someone who needs it. I’ll be back soon with more insights to help you create your best life.
