Throughout his very successful entrepreneurial career, Gino Wickham thought he needed to hold on to his anxiety and emotional armor in order to keep his edge and drive. Then, at age 52, once he had sold his EOS company and hit the apex of success, he was left feeling empty. The trauma he had pushed down since the age of 15 came up, and came up hard. As Gino took on the process of self exploration, he discovered practices that he wished he had known earlier.
That’s why he wrote his newest book, “Shine.” In it, Gino and his co-author Rob Dube teach readers 10 disciplines to maximize energy, impact, and inner peace: 10-year thinking, take time off, know thyself, be still, know your 100%, say no often, don’t do $25/hour work, prepare every night, put everything in one place, be humble.
Tune into this episode as Gino takes us through each of these 10 disciplines. Listen to how he got past the hesitation of being “woo woo” and really “pinged” his soul. He’ll show you how successful, hard-driven people can also have a fulfilling, peaceful life.
