Shed and Shine

In this episode, Rob and Gino walk us through the True Self Assessment, a tool that helps you Shine by revealing where you're still stuck. With just 20 questions every 90 days, it gives high performers a clear picture of where they're growing and where they need to shed. Gino shares his latest assessment and how it helped him reconnect with the “Prepare Every Night” Discipline. Rob reflects on how mastermind members have used the assessment to build consistency and set better boundaries.They explore how the questions work together to surface old wounds, build confidence, and support deeper healing. This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about staying in the rhythm. Add the assessment to your quarterly planning. Share it with someone who needs it. And choose one area to focus on as you take another step toward your True Self.

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.

In this week’s Riff, Gino invites you to pause and ask one of life’s most powerful questions: What is your gift? Sparked by a coffee shop conversation with a fellow driven soul, Gino reflects on the intersection of talent, purpose, and service. He walks you through how to identify your gift, who it can help, and how to describe it clearly. Then, he guides you through a five-part visualization exercise to help you feel and own that gift more deeply.This episode isn’t just for entrepreneurs. It’s for anyone with a calling who's ready to live in full alignment with their True Self.

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.

On this episode of Shed and Shine, Rob and Gino explore how time blocking helps us stay aligned with what matters most in both work and life.Driven people often blur the lines between effort and rest. That’s why it’s essential to schedule both with care. Whether it’s taking days off, protecting creative energy, or building buffer time between meetings and vacations, each calendar block becomes a commitment to well-being.Rob and Gino share how knowing your limits can keep you clear and energized. They talk about scheduling new projects right away, choosing the right time for creative work, and giving yourself space before and after vacations. When you make room for yourself in your calendar, you create space to shed the clutter and let your True Self shine. 00:00 The Time Management Dilemma01:30 Understanding Time Blocking03:15 The Importance of Time Off04:36 Finding Clarity in a Choppy Schedule06:00 Maximizing Creative Energy09:30 Cushioning Your Time Off11:00 Overcoming Resistance to Time Blocking14:30 Establishing Non-Negotiables16:05 Making Meetings Meaningful ABOUT THE 10 DISCIPLINESThe 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.

What happens when you’re running at 150 percent capacity? In this episode, Gino invites you into his current reality: an intense stretch filled with book rewrites, big decisions, and a to-do list that just won’t quit. Instead of powering through blindly, he turns to the 10 Disciplines to stay conscious, clear, and connected. He shares how he's managing the strain by saying no more often, delegating outside his sweet spot, staying present with loved ones, and holding fast to his stillness practice. This episode is a mirror for anyone feeling maxed out. Ask yourself: Is this push aligned with your 10-year vision? Are you aware of the cost? Most importantly, do you know how long it will last and why it matters? If not, this is the moment to pause and check in.

Rob and Gino explore how the people we attract, in both life and business, reflect the clarity (or confusion) within ourselves. When your values are vague, you draw in the wrong energy; but when you get clear on your True Self and core values, you become a magnet for those who truly align, and a filter for those who don’t. This clarity helps build relationships that nourish your vision rather than drain it.They invite us to trust our bodies when meeting new people: does your energy feel calm or uneasy? That’s your intuition speaking. They also remind us that humility attracts humility, while ego only brings more ego. If you want relationships that last, think in decades, not days. Long-term alignment starts with who you are now, and who you’re becoming.

What happens when we choose to lead with love… and only love? In this heartfelt Riff, Gino explores the full power of love in both business and life. He shares how “putting the love in it” transformed his companies, his relationships, and his own leadership. Tough love counts too: honesty, boundaries, even firing someone can be loving when done from the heart. And the ultimate love? Loving yourself. When we do that, we stop chasing, stop fearing, and start vibrating higher. So put the love in it, even when it's hard to do.
