In this episode of “Shed and Shine”, Gino and Rob explore the art of awareness as it shapes decisions from a place of love rather than fear. They highlight two types of awareness—general and pure—where general is a surface-level mindfulness, while pure awareness allows a profound, unbiased connection with thoughts and emotions. Gino shares a key insight on the importance of stepping back to “watch the movie” of our thoughts and responses as they unfold, especially when interactions with loved ones or colleagues stir deep emotions. He explains how awareness becomes a mirror, reflecting areas within ourselves that need attention and growth. Rob introduces practical techniques like meditation and mindful presence, emphasizing how they help in releasing emotional triggers and aligning closer to one's True Self. The hosts encourage listeners to cultivate this pure awareness, to shed inner blocks, and to consciously choose love over fear—ultimately freeing their True Self to shine fully in both personal and professional realms.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome to Shed and Shine00:33 Decisions from Love or Fear01:03 Understanding Awareness04:03 The Power of Observing Triggers06:14 The Mirror of Awareness07:06 Shed Layers to Find Your True Self08:01 Navigating Chaos in Relationships09:21 Context Matters in Awareness11:01 Real-Time Awareness in Business13:30 Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation15:10 Shedding Worry and Finding Freedom17:11 Letting Go and Allowing Growth     ABOUT THE 10 DISCIPLINES The 10 Disciplines, founded by Gino Wickman and Rob Dube, is on a mission to help one million entrepreneurs learn that it is possible to be driven and have peace while making a bigger impact.

This Shed and Shine episode dives into the concept of "pure energy" and how understanding this principle can help entrepreneurs shed mental and emotional blocks. Gino Wickman and Rob Dube unpack the scientific and philosophical insights behind energy, exploring how everything—including thoughts and human interactions—consists of energy and vibrational frequencies. Rob introduces foundational ideas from quantum mechanics and Einstein’s E=mc², suggesting that at our core, humans are pure energy, constantly vibrating and interacting. Gino simplifies this heady concept, sharing his belief that we are all connected through energy and vibrations that drive our thoughts, feelings, and interactions. The conversation also delves into how we can manage these vibrations to let go of ego-driven attachments, overcome trauma, and align more closely with our True Selves. Gino references David Hawkins' “Map of Consciousness” to help listeners visualize different vibrational states, from fear and shame to love and enlightenment, guiding them on a path toward higher consciousness and deeper personal freedom.

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.
