Shed and Shine

In this week’s Riff, Gino asks a question that has been stirring in him lately: are we all meant to serve? What began as a simple conversation opened into a deeper look at purpose, ego, and what truly fulfills us. He shares how the word “serve” has taken on new meaning in his life and challenges listeners to consider what service means to them.Gino explores how service connects to the 10 Disciplines, especially Discipline 3 (Know Thyself) and Discipline 5 (Know Your 100%). Through eight key questions, including “How do you serve?” and “What has life prepared you for?”, he encourages listeners to reconnect with what drives them. Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or sweeping hospital floors, the invitation is the same. Service is not about status; it is about alignment. When we know how we are meant to serve, the noise falls away and our True Self is free to rise.

In this week's Riff, Gino shares what came out of his 2025 sabbatical and why taking a full month away from work can unlock clarity, peace, and healing. He entered the month with three clear intentions: to remember who he is, to see life as it is, and to release what no longer serves him. What followed was a quiet (but powerful) transformation. What began with impatience and spiritual restlessness led to slowing down, canceling commitments, and returning to a more honest, authentic way of showing up in both life and business. Gino also explores the link between repressed emotion and physical symptoms, revealing how subconscious healing helped ease his long-standing back pain.

In this introspective Riff, Gino opens up about how writing Shine has invited deep, often painful conversations about trauma, and why he welcomes them. As he sits with stories of suffering, he notices how differently his nervous system responds today compared to five years ago. That shift, he believes, is the result of years spent shedding old layers and facing his own pain.This episode explores a bold idea: what if your trauma isn’t punishment, but a lesson? Gino introduces the concept of soul contracts and invites you to consider whether your challenges might hold the key to your growth. Healing looks different for everyone, but one thing is clear. You cannot grow by clinging to pain. You have to shed it. So ask yourself honestly, what is your lesson?

In this episode, Rob and Gino sit down for a spontaneous and unscripted dive into recent shifts, personal healing, and the balance between drive and peace. Gino reflects on his sabbatical, a pause that revealed a deeper truth: while the outer search can feel heroic, the answers often lie within. He describes how his foundation has quietly shifted from fear and anxiety to love and light, allowing his True Self to shine without armor. Together, they explore the power of embodiment. Understanding isn’t enough without feeling, and healing old wounds can reconnect us to our core sensitivity. We’re perfect already, cocooned only by ego. With mentions of Steve Ozanich, Gabor Maté, and the mind-body link, they invite listeners into a quieter wisdom. This one is for anyone seeking both impact and inner peace.

As driven individuals, many of us end up saying “yes” to everything: talks, podcasts, meetings, projects, etc. We chase impact while losing sight of what really matters. In this episode, Gino and Rob unpack the cost of overcommitment and explore how to reclaim clarity, boundaries, and presence. Gino reflects on his own journey toward finding a “happy medium,” while Rob highlights the power of pausing for regular self-assessment. Together, they invite listeners to question the motivations behind their choices: Is this rooted in fear or love? Is it aligned with who I truly am? The conversation reveals how often we try to fill an invisible hole, only to realize there’s nothing missing. Wholeness was there all along. By honoring our capacity and saying “no” to what doesn’t serve us, we make space to mentor, to connect, and to truly shine.   Chapters00:00 The Quest for Balance02:20 Finding Your Limits05:30 Lessons from the Past07:15 Identifying Sacrifices10:40 The Cost of Achievement13:20 Awareness and Alignment ABOUT THE 10 DISCIPLINES The 10 Disciplines, founded by Gino Wickman and Rob Dube, is on a mission to help one million entrepreneurs realize it's possible to be driven and have peace while making a bigger impact.

In this Riff, Gino explores a truth we all face: we are either expanding or contracting. Expansion brings learning, progress, and momentum. Contraction, on the other hand, brings discomfort, doubt, and resistance. Each phase plays a role in our growth. Progress rarely moves in a straight line; it comes in cycles.Gino shares his own cycles of Shedding and Shining, reminding us that contraction does not mean we’re broken... it means we’re about to break through. Whether it’s a business hitting a ceiling or an individual wrestling with change, the pattern is the same: expansion, contraction, evolution, revolution. Your job is to stay aware, trust the process, and look for the lesson. Because if you’re committed to growth, another expansion is always around the corner.
