In this episode, Gino Wickman explores how strong business management is essential to fully embracing the 10 Disciplines. Drawing from his EOS Worldwide experience, he explains that without a well-run business, it's impossible to reap the full benefits of these principles. Without the right habits and structure, even the best coaching falls short.Gino shares five key self-check questions to assess leadership strength. Do you have a clear vision that's effectively communicated? Are the right people in the right roles? Are you setting and achieving quarterly priorities? Do you hold structured weekly meetings? Are you tracking key metrics for accountability? If any of these areas are weak, the foundation of your business is shaky. The message is clear: optimize your business, and you'll create the space to Shed what's holding you back—and truly Shine.

BIO: Jeff Holman, founder of Intellectual Strategies, is revolutionizing legal support for startups and scaling businesses. His Fractional Legal Team model provides expert legal guidance without the cost of a full-time team.STORY: Jeff started a cold plunge and sauna business during the pandemic. The company looked great, but he had employee issues, which affected its success. Soon, tens of other studios, brands, and franchises were all popping up within a mile of Jeff's studio.LEARNING: Create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively. “Create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively because the business that you're operating today might not be the business that you pivot to tomorrow.”Jeff Holman Guest profileJeff Holman, founder of Intellectual Strategies, is revolutionizing legal support for startups and scaling businesses. His Fractional Legal Team model provides expert legal guidance without the cost of a full-time team. With expertise in engineering, law, and business, Jeff helps companies navigate complex challenges, enabling them to grow with confidence.Worst investment everDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeff decided to find ways to spend his time and invest some of his money. He settled on a cold plunge and sauna business. The spreadsheet looked great, and the numbers were fantastic. The business model followed another business that Jeff had previously done, which had achieved considerable success.Jeff found a local company in Utah that was manufacturing cold plunges at the time and secured a couple of investor friends to invest in the business. He rented an office space and converted one of the suites into a cold plunge and sauna studio.The biggest mistake that cost Jeff this business was hiring employees and trying to get them more involved in marketing. He would help train and incentivize employees, ensure tasks were completed, have people submit reports, follow up for accountability, and more. It felt like he was babysitting his employees. This eventually brought his business down. However, the final nail in the coffin was a proliferation of other studios, brands, and franchises, all popping up within a mile of Jeff's studio.Lessons learnedIf you're part of a franchise, consider visiting other franchise businesses that may not be competing with yours or those a little further away from your customer base to observe how they operate.If you're pivoting your business, create strategic alignment incrementally and iteratively because the business you're operating today might not be the one you pivot to tomorrow.Andrew's takeawaysFind a business that does what you want to do in another state and go work with them for a while.Actionable adviceValidate the business idea you want to invest in well beyond the spreadsheet. Research regulations, test your MVP, identify channels that you'll use to drive revenue, and much more.Jeff's recommended resourcesJeff's journey has taught him the value of seeking expert advice. He recommends holding a strategy call with him if you need legal expertise to scale your business confidently.

They discuss Nick's entrepreneurial journey, how books changed his life, and his rebellious nature that drove him to create successful businesses. Nick shares key decisions and challenges in scaling BookThinkers, emphasizing the importance of systems and strategic growth. The conversation also touches upon personal anecdotes, Nick's passion for endurance sports, and his excitement about becoming a father. Listeners gain insights into leveraging books for personal growth and the importance of creating structured business systems. Takeaways: Delve into books that other successful entrepreneurs recommend to gain knowledge and different perspectives. Consider books like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber, and "Traction" by Gino Wickman. Focus on making small, incremental improvements over time. Break your long-term goals into manageable quarters or small steps progress steadily. Invest in systematizing your business processes.

Consider hiring consultants or coaches who can provide expertise in specific areas, such as backend infrastructure, to streamline your business operations. Ensure your team is aligned with the new systems and processes. Change management is critical, and getting buy-in from your team is essential. Networking is powerful. Engage with people, attend events, and build relationships that can support your business growth.

In this episode, Gino Wickman explores the metaphor of the “soft underbelly” as your deepest vulnerabilities and fears. He explains how these insecurities, much like physical weaknesses in animals, can shape your behavior and decisions. Gino highlights that hiding these vulnerabilities out of fear of exposure only leads to greater challenges, while facing them head-on opens the door to True Freedom and self-expression.Sharing his own journey of shedding perfectionism, Gino talks about how embracing imperfections has strengthened his relationships and enhanced his leadership. He encourages you to identify your own “soft underbelly” and dismantle the protective mechanisms that hold you back from growth. By confronting your fears and acknowledging your flaws, you create space for authenticity, unconditional love, and personal evolution—key elements for a more fulfilling life.

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino Wickman and Rob Dube dive into why entrepreneurs often fail, emphasizing the critical role of self-awareness in overcoming challenges. They explore essential success factors like a great product, sufficient capital, and intrinsic entrepreneurial traits—yet even with these, failure is common.

In this episode of the “Shed and Shine” podcast, Gino Wickman invites you to rethink the idea of “True Freedom.” He urges you to look past financial success, free time, or relationships and ask yourself if freedom is possible without self-awareness. Inspired by his reflections, Gino shares a poem that challenges you to consider whether freedom can truly be attained if you're still anchored by material desires and the need for external validation. Drawing from his book Shine, he emphasizes that shedding these layers to reveal your True Self is a deeply transformative journey, one that, while challenging, leads to growth and the ability to help others.Gino also offers a simple exercise to help manage overwhelm: take 5–10 minutes to write down everything that is bothering you, then turn those thoughts into clear, actionable plans. He reflects on the pillars of happiness—something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love—and encourages you to embrace self-love. By cultivating unconditional love for yourself, you'll deepen your connections and open the door to true happiness and freedom.

In this episode, “How to Vibrate Higher,” Gino Wickman dives deep into the power of energy and vibration, revealing how elevating our vibrational frequency can transform our reality. He describes each of us as “a ball of energy” and explains how our thoughts and emotions directly shape the experiences we attract. Drawing on insights from Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, Gino emphasizes the importance of understanding energy as a force that influences every aspect of our lives. He introduces a four-level framework to raise personal vibration, beginning with self-awareness, recognizing pure energy, addressing blockages, and making decisions from love rather than fear. Referencing David Hawkins' map of consciousness, he encourages shedding low-vibration emotions to move into higher states like love and enlightenment. To raise your vibration, Gino shares practical disciplines—meditation, gratitude, exercise, and connecting with others—that foster peace, creativity, and clarity. He challenges listeners to commit to one discipline within the next week, emphasizing practices like saying no to low-energy tasks, clearing clutter, and visualizing success. This episode invites you to shed negative influences and embrace the energy that leads to greater leadership, joy, and fulfillment.

In this episode, Gino Wickman shares a deeply personal reflection on a poem he wrote in his late 20s titled “The Façade.” Rediscovering it years later, Gino describes how the poem captured the tension between outward composure and the inner struggle to embrace vulnerability. This introspective piece became a cornerstone for his book Shine and many themes explored on the podcast. Gino takes us back to a pivotal moment at his 30th surprise birthday party when he began dismantling the “suit of armor” he had built to protect himself. This marked the start of a profound journey of shedding ego and embracing his True Self—a journey that has unfolded over 27 years. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own “façades,” understanding that self-discovery is a lifelong process. With patience and courage, the path to authenticity can lead to true freedom and fulfillment.

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino Wickman unpacks the ego's role in shaping our fears, anxieties, and judgments. He explains how the ego acts as a protective shell formed by past experiences, but also how it can block us from connecting with our True Self. Gino contrasts these “ego states” with soul-driven emotions like love and joy, highlighting the power of dissolving the ego to gain clarity and peace. Drawing from his journey with meditation, therapy, and plant medicine, Gino shares how these practices helped him quiet the ego and embrace life more fully. He explores the “judgment triple whammy” of judging others, self-criticism, and fearing others' judgments, encouraging listeners to cultivate awareness and reframe mistakes as opportunities for growth. Through self-reflection and honest conversations, we can shed ego-driven reactions, embrace imperfection, and move closer to our authentic selves. What might you let go of to shine more brightly?

Matt Shields on Building Communities for Client Success For Matt, one of the best decisions he made when it came to building his client community was modeling it after an already successful group. In this case, they modeled Joe Kaplan's agency community, which they knew well having been through it. They loved the community, coaches, and mastermind and strived to build the same for real estate agents, a move that proved to be successful. By bringing clients together, providing coaching, and inviting experts, they aimed to foster a competitive environment that motivated them to excel and achieve success. However, he does admit to some missteps, most notably failing to set clear expectations for community members. The absence of clearly defined core values can lead to chaos and disarray and can result in a community that lacks cohesion, where individuals operate independently without regard for the collective goals. Matt set this right by setting community standards and clear core values, and giving members the option to say no once the standards were clear, which according to Matt only made them more likely to say yes in their eagerness to be part of a tribe. The competitive nature of realtors within the community sparked a desire to outperform each other, leading to increased effort, dedication, and ultimately, success. Furthermore, Matt emphasizes the role of a free Facebook group in building this community. He and his partner purchased an existing Facebook group within their niche, which had 8,000 realtors. This acquisition proved to be a valuable resource, as it provided a platform for interaction, engagement, and the opportunity to showcase their expertise. The free group served as a stepping stone for potential members to become part of the main paid community, as they were already familiar with the agency's values and offerings. Dimi Albers on Taking a $500M Agency to Global Markets Back in 2014, Dimi's agency made the pivotal decision to expand its services and target international clients. They wanted to transform from a design and tech-focused agency into a company that covers the customer's full digital journey. This strategy was considered relatively unique and presented an opportunity for growth. At the time, the agency had a very good reputation in The Netherlands and was valued at 15 million USD. Even with capital backing, they remained relatively conservative in investments. Dimi focused on establishing profitability for core revenue drivers within a tight 12-18 month timeframe. For Dimi, an agency is fundamentally a people business and requires making sound decisions consistently rather than betting on a few big moves. He has a client-first approach to expanding globally, and says niche or market domination is not as important as being client-focused. More than market leadership, he thinks it's about who you're servicing and whether or not you're helping them grow and save money. His agency methodically built its value proposition in the Dutch market first. From this solid foundation, they gradually expanded into Europe, the US, and ultimately APAC - advancing to new geographies only after careful evaluation of their capability strengths and each market's receptiveness. This thoughtful, capability-driven approach to global scaling enabled successful service expansions into new territories. Guy Kawasaki on Overcoming Self-Doubt and Finding the Hidden Benefit of Imposter Syndrome Thinking back on his career, Guy reflects on the things that held him back at times and finds that most people are held back by their mindset. You can have people in your life who don't believe in you and, as much as it sucks it's also a relatively easy thing to ignore as long as you believe in yourself. However, if you don't believe in yourself, then that's a real problem. In his experience, this kind of mentality can slow your progress, as it did for him back when he was writing his first book. Filled with self-doubt, he wondered if he had what it took to publish a book. Thankfully, he was able to overcome this by realizing that he didn't need external validation or permission to pursue his passion. It's a thinking he carries with him and advises anyone to adopt, whether they wish to write a book, make a movie, or try anything new. Doubts about one's capabilities often stem from imposter syndrome, a common feeling of inadequacy experienced in new or challenging situations. However, Guy asserts that imposter syndrome can signify awareness and humility, catalyzing growth, rather than a barrier to success. He contrasts this with entitlement syndrome, emphasizing that while imposter syndrome can be overcome and lead to personal development, entitlement is counterproductive to growth. Natalie Hogg on The Key to Building a Scalable Business As the head of a multimillion-dollar agency, does she have more freedom? “I did in the beginning,” she says. Now past that initial fun stage, boundaries mean making a conscious decision not to put her full self in the business and end up exhausted. Once you make the decision to take care of yourself to avoid burnout, who's going to be there to fill the gap? Finding the right people to fill that gap is crucial for that transition into more freedom. Sure, creating these jobs can end up initially impacting profitability, but it will no doubt help the business make more money down the line. For Natalie, trust is a cornerstone of a functional and high-performing team. She has been lucky to work with individuals she has known for years, which has helped her build a foundation of trust that enables her to delegate responsibilities more effectively and focus on strategic decision-making rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day operations. Moreover, when team members feel trusted, they are more likely to take ownership of their roles, leading to increased motivation and productivity. Still, many agency owners struggle to let go and let their team take over most tasks. Letting go and being very strict about your free time is all about building habits and creating rules for yourself. Just like you schedule your meetings, block some time in your schedule exclusively for your enjoyment. It'll help you enjoy your business that much more. Building a business that is scalable means building a business where you're not doing everything. You're just doing what you do best and keep learning and evolving to then bring that to the business. Gino Wickman Shares 3 Discoveries to Free Your True Self Some people think that growing and selling your business brings freedom. However, Gino presents a different perspective, advocating for three transformative insights that can help you unlock your authentic self while enhancing your energy, impact, and inner peace. Recognize and accept that being driven is part of an entrepreneur's DNA and wiring. Acknowledging this helps you navigate the ups and downs of that drive and recognize the impact it has on your mental, physical, and emotional well-being. All decisions are made out of love or fear. Understanding the motivations behind your actions will help you make more conscious choices that align with your true self rather than your ego. This awareness can help entrepreneurs break free from patterns of fear-based decision-making and move towards a place of love and authenticity. Know it is possible to be BOTH driven and have peace. This may seem contradictory at first, as many driven individuals equate drive with a constant state of hustle and striving. However, finding peace does not mean losing drive; in fact, it can enhance it. At this stage of his life, Gino has everything he'll ever need; nonetheless, he's more motivated than ever. By letting go of the need to constantly be in motion and finding a sense of inner calm, driven entrepreneurs can tap into a deeper source of motivation and creativity.
