Episode 35: The Power of Doing Nothing: Recharging Through Sabbaticals

In this episode of “Shed and Shine”, Gino Wickman and Rob Dube, recently back from their summer sabbaticals, share the art of unplugging and setting up for true disconnection. They each recount how they spent their time — for Gino, it meant slowing down, reconnecting with past creative pursuits like drawing, and embracing the freedom of doing "nothing." For Rob, his sabbatical involved traveling for psychedelic therapy, exploring nature, and allowing himself to start each day without a plan, creating space for personal reflection and connection with his wife. They emphasize the personal benefits of extended time away, exploring what it takes to make a sabbatical possible as a driven entrepreneur, from building a supportive team to establishing clear boundaries. This episode dives into the logistics, mindset shifts, and clarity that intentional time away can provide.
