Shed and Shine

This week on Shed and Shine, Rob and Gino explore the quiet power of presence, not as a goal to chase but as the natural state that remains when effort ceases. Inspired by Leonard Jacobson’s Journey into Now, they reflect on simple ways to access presence in everyday life. Gino shares how presence deepens his work with clients and brings peace to family gatherings, while Rob recalls the stillness of becoming a father and the clarity found in silent retreats.They remind us that presence, awareness, and consciousness are not rare states reserved for meditation or medicine journeys; they are always available when the ego settles. Try a stillness practice, notice when you are truly connected, and discover what remains when striving fades.

Each one invites you to pause, look inward, and notice what is really going on beneath the surface.He begins with a physical reminder to drop your shoulders and breathe. From there, he explores a five-stage journey of waking up to your True Self, the realization that every trigger points inward, and the subtle difference between performing and being authentic. He closes with a question that brings it all home: What do you produce?These five moments of reflection capture what the 10 Disciplines are all about: living awake, aware, and aligned.

In this reflective episode, Rob and Gino explore the double-edged nature of a driven mind. Gino opens up about his lifelong love of thinking, how it helped him build, solve, and create, and also how it kept him disconnected from his body, heart, and peace. Together, Rob and Gino unpack how awareness of the mind is the first step toward freeing your True Self. They talk about what it feels like to shift between mind and body throughout the day, the importance of stillness from Discipline Four, and the power of presence. Gino describes the clarity that comes when he feels fully in his body. Rob shares a simple breath practice that helps settle the noise. The message is simple but powerful: the mind is a tool, not your identity. When you slow down, you return to something more grounded, true, and alive.

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. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that space is not empty; it is where the True Self can finally breathe.

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.
