Podcast appearances and mentions of gino wickman

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.

Jamie Munoz, founder of Catalyst Integrators, shares how the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) helped her scale a printing business from $2 million to $15 million in revenue and how it can work for video business owners of any size. She breaks down why so many entrepreneurs get trapped in the operator seat doing work that drains their soul, and provides a clear roadmap for getting out of operations and into the visionary role. Jamie also shares practical advice on hiring virtual assistants and the mindset shifts needed to stop being the bottleneck in your own business.  Key Takeaways Core values are your hiring and firing framework - When employees don't align with your company's core values (like being "hungry"), you have a clear framework for making personnel decisions rather than relying on gut feelings The accountability chart shows your scaling path - Instead of traditional org charts, EOS uses accountability charts that show people in multiple seats, making it clear where to hire next as the business grows Start with 20% time savings - Hire help for just 20% of your weekly tasks (about 8 hours) to free up a full day for revenue-generating activities that can pay for the help and then some Perfect is the enemy of profitable - Learning to let go of "10 out of 10" creative standards and accepting that "7 or 8 out of 10" often exceeds client expectations while maintaining profitability About Jamie Munoz Jamie Munoz is a rescue dog mom, who lives in Cave Creek, Arizona.

Episode Summary Building and scaling a law firm isn't just about attracting clients and delivering legal work. It is also about having the right people in the right roles. In this episode, I talk about the EOS® principle of Right People, Right Seats and why it is such a powerful tool for law firm owners. I'll walk you through how to evaluate your team using three simple questions, the importance of clear reporting lines, and what happens when the firm owner is not in the right seat. If you have ever felt like your team structure is holding you back, this episode will help you see where the gaps are and how to fix them. What You'll Hear in This Episode What “Right People, Right Seats” means in a law firm The three questions to ask about every role: Get it, Want it, Capacity How accountability charts prevent bottlenecks Why values matter more than skills when choosing the right person When the owner is not the best person for a particular role How we use this exercise inside the Accelerator program My Key Takeaways for You You don't need to do everything at once. Growth is about doing the right things for the stage you're in. A $300k firm doesn't need executive dashboards, and a $3M firm shouldn't be operating off spreadsheets. When you know where you are on the roadmap, you can make decisions with confidence, reduce overwhelm, and build a firm that gives you freedom as well as profit. Resources and Links Scalable Law Accelerator Program – Work with me to map your accountability chart and create a team that supports growth Traction by Gino Wickman – the book that introduced the EOS® framework Ready to Restructure Your Firm? Inside Accelerator, I help law firm owners map out their teams so they can clearly see where the right people are in the right seats and where changes need to happen. This exercise alone can give you clarity and direction that takes away so much stress.

What if HR wasn't the department you dreaded — but the partner that helped your team thrive?  In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes Tia Amundson, HR Director at HOH Water Technology, to explore how human resources can be a strategic driver of talent, culture, and profitability in the water treatment industry.  Redefining HR's Role  Tia shares her journey into water treatment and how she built HOH's HR department from the ground up. Instead of treating HR as a compliance function, she reframed it as a leadership partner—focused on employee connections, transparent communication, and culture building. From structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to coaching managers and bridging communication gaps, her approach ensures employees feel supported, heard, and connected.  Culture as Competitive Advantage  HOH's success story demonstrates how culture directly shapes business outcomes. Tia explains how open-book management, employee engagement surveys, and intentional recognition programs have increased retention, profitability, and trust across the organization. By aligning HR strategies with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), HOH has cultivated an environment where employees thrive and deliver exceptional service.  Talent, Retention, and the Future of HR  Finding and retaining the right people remains one of the industry's biggest challenges. Tia outlines the importance of a clear employee value proposition, authentic recruiting practices, and a commitment to work-life balance. She also discusses how HR will evolve over the next decade, balancing automation with the irreplaceable human element of caring for people.  Dream Management and Employee Growth  As a Certified Dream Manager, Tia integrates personal growth with professional development. By helping employees pursue their own dreams, HOH has fostered deeper engagement, loyalty, and breakthroughs that extend far beyond the workplace.  Conclusion  For leaders in the water treatment industry, this episode challenges you to view HR not as a cost center, but as a powerful lever for long-term success. Strategic HR practices can reduce turnover, build culture, and give your organization a competitive edge.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  02:28 - Trace Blackmore welcomes listeners, shares personal “sharpen the saw” growth theme  04:53 - Sharpen-the-saw story  08:10 - Water You Know with James McDonald  10:05 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals   13:15 - Interview with a friend and Rising Tide Mastermind member Tia Amundson, HR Director, HOH Water Technology   13:30 - HR as employee connection + leadership alignment, not a “principal's office”  16:32 - From hiring to long-term care  19:14 - Coaching managers  23:49 - Turnover → P&L  33:12 – Recruitment Realities   44:03 – Dream Manager Program  48:11 – Overcoming Skepticism   50:02 – The Future of HR  51:13 – Start/Stop for HR  52:50 – Foundational operating system (EOS) first    Quotes  “HR isn't about punishment—it's about building trust, culture, and strategic advantage.”  “Pour into your employees, and they will pour into their work.

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.

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.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Sophia Cole, Professional EOS Implementor and Owner of SoCo Solutions, and Sridhar Sunkara, CEO of eBiz Solutions, who both highlight the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a framework that helps businesses achieve vision, traction, and health through practical tools for clarity, accountability, and team alignment. During the interview, Sophia details the implementation process, which includes creating an accountability chart, developing a vision traction organizer, establishing weekly scorecards, and documenting clear processes. She discusses how EOS addresses common growth barriers and emphasizes a spaced learning approach with quarterly meetings to ensure ongoing progress and adaptation.

What does it take to manage 420 apartments and create a million memorable moments? On this episode, host Dan Ryan sits down with Sebastián Torres-Calderón, the CEO of Stay U-nique, an award-winning short-term rental company in Spain. Sebastián shares his journey from customer journey intern to CEO and reveals how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) helped his company not only survive the chaos of COVID but quadruple in size. The conversation dives deep into how Stay U-nique uses data and technology to create a frictionless guest experience, the challenges of a rapidly evolving industry, and the political headwinds facing the short-term rental market. Sebastián offers a unique perspective on the debate between prohibition and regulation and provides a powerful case for why collaboration between the private and public sectors is the key to solving housing inventory issues.Takeaways: Track key metrics (KPIs) across all departments, not just leadership, to identify and address recurring issues. Use data to drive improvements in guest experience, operations, and communication.Use frameworks such as the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to set clear goals, break them into manageable projects (“rocks”), and review progress regularly. Involve the entire team in the process for maximum impact.Don't be afraid to make mistakes, learn, and adapt. Regularly test new approaches, measure their impact, and iterate quickly. Use technology to streamline operations (e.g., remote locks, cleaning apps) and enhance the guest experience, but ensure it remains personal and responsive.Success takes time and consistent effort. Focus on long-term growth rather than immediate results.Empower every team member with ownership of projects and clear goals to drive company-wide improvement.Quote of the Show:“To take that time and make it something that they will remember forever, and get to do that every day, that's amazing.” - Sebastián Torres-CalderónLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebasti%C3%A1n-torres-calderon-serkovic-310044121/ Website: https://www.stay-u-nique.com/en/ Shout Outs:0:53 - World Travel Awards https://www.worldtravelawards.com/ 10:46 - EOS https://www.eosworldwide.com/ 12:02 - Airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/ 13:43 - Traction https://amzn.to/4fEGOTZ 13:43 - Gino Wickman https://www.ginowickman.com/ 14:53 - Mitcham Rentals https://www.mitchamgrouprentals.com/ 16:23 - Enrique Alcántara https://www.linkedin.com/in/enrique-alc%C3%A1ntara-b9623b/ 24:28 - What the Heck is EOS? https://amzn.to/4fGGXGC 40:49 - Sonder https://www.sonder.com/ 40:56 - Marriott https://www.marriott.com/default.mi

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.

Episode Overview In this candid, behind-the-scenes conversation, John Kitchens sits down with top-producing agent and entrepreneur Bryan Colquitt to explore what it really takes to design a real estate business—and a life—that align with your deepest priorities. From dismantling a thriving team of nine agents to rebuild as a highly profitable solo agent, Bryan shares why chasing status nearly cost him his freedom, and how clarity, boundaries, and saying “no” reshaped everything. If you've ever felt the pressure to grow bigger, do more, and be everywhere—this episode is your permission slip to step back, get intentional, and build a business that serves your life, not the other way around. What You'll Learn in This Episode Key #1: Redefining Success Why “freedom” beats “status” every time How becoming a parent forced Bryan to re-evaluate everything The non-negotiables that guide every business decision now Key #2: Letting Go of the Ego How to step away from a big team without burning bridges Why comparison is the thief of joy—and how to stop chasing someone else's dream Removing the fear of “what will people think?” when making big changes Key #3: Lean, Profitable Operations Running a high-margin business as a solo agent How Bryan's mornings and evenings are structured for presence at home The “main thing” that keeps business moving every day (hint: conversations) Key #4: Navigating a “Have-To” Market Why most real estate decisions right now are emotional, not logical How to uncover the real “why” behind a client's move Serving as an advisor—not just a salesperson—even when it means telling clients to wait Key #5: Trust Over Transactions Building long-term relationships through transparency and empathy Setting boundaries with clients while elevating the service experience How emotional intelligence creates referrals and repeat business in any market Tools & Resources Mentioned Traction by Gino Wickman – for operational clarity Coldwell Banker Advantage – Bryan's brokerage partner Sphere & Database Marketing – Bryan's primary lead source strategy Final Takeaway Success isn't about the size of your team, the number of transactions, or the title on your business card.

Bryan Colquitt's journey proves that stepping back can be the boldest move forward. “You have to say no to the wrong things so you can say yes to the right life.” – Bryan Colquitt Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

In this episode, Gino and Rob have another "Coffee Shop Conversation" to discuss the power of organization, self-reflection, and trusting the journey. They explore the “one place” system—keeping essential information in a single, organized spot, whether handwritten or digital. Gino shares why he prefers handwritten notes for deeper retention and emotional connection, while emphasizing the importance of selective filing—keeping only what truly matters and letting go of the rest.The conversation then shifts to embracing uncertainty and recognizing how our perceptions of others mirror our inner struggles. They highlight the importance of staying mission-driven, especially during business transitions, and trusting that the right opportunities will emerge. In the end, they reiterate their shared vision: freeing a million entrepreneurs by following their passion, purpose, and intuition.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! In today's Friday rant, I'm diving into a topic that hit me hard: Can you be both driven and peaceful? I came across this concept in the book Shine by Gino Wickman, and it made me stop and reflect. For most of my life, I believed that success came from chaos—gritting my teeth, pushing harder, never slowing down. But what if that's not the only way? In this episode, I talk about shifting that mindset, doing the inner work, and realizing that rest, peace, and stillness can actually fuel even greater growth.Key Highlights:- Driven & Peaceful: I unpack the fear that many of us entrepreneurs carry—that if we slow down, we'll lose our edge.- Thriving in Chaos: I share my own journey of living in constant hustle mode, and how I've been addicted to that pace since I was 17.- A Different Way: I truly believe now that there's another path—one that doesn't require burnout to succeed.- Inner Work Pays Off: From taking retreats to working with coaches, I've seen how investing in myself creates more clarity and energy in my business.- Change Your Fuel: If you're feeling tired and burnt out, maybe it's time to stop running on the old fuel that got you here—and find a new one that serves you better.Final Tips:You can be peaceful and still be driven. The chaos isn't the only path to growth. If you're feeling like the way you've always done things isn't working anymore, I want you to know: there is another way.If this spoke to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Let's keep doing the inner work—together.

This episode is a gentle but urgent call to awareness. Gino invites us to reflect on how many of our decisions are rooted in fear, often shaped by wounds and repressed emotions from the past. Through a four-level journey from blocked energy to the moment of awareness, he helps us see that awakening doesn't mean knowing everything; it simply means becoming aware that something deeper is going on. When we release old blocks, we vibrate higher, love more, and move closer to total freedom. It's not always easy, but awareness is the gateway.

One of the biggest pain points for first-time founders is a lack of structure within their business. One of the most popular frameworks for quickly creating structure is the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), but does it really live up to the hype? In this episode of In Demand, Asia and Kim do a deep dive into EOS. They break down its key components, where it works (and where it doesn't), and why most founders should treat it more like a toolbox than a strict rulebook.

Today I go over our first Level 10 meeting and why I waited way too long to implement this game-changing system in my business. If you're a business owner struggling with direction, wanting things perfect before taking action, or questioning your leadership strength, this episode is exactly what you need to hear.I'm sharing the real story of how we hit $5 million in sales by throwing mud at the wall, then got completely stuck because nobody knew what was actually important anymore. Everyone felt like everything was a priority, and honestly, that was my fault as the owner. I was the answer person for everything, which felt good for my ego but was killing our growth.This whole Level 10 meeting concept comes from Gino Wickman's book Traction, and man, I wish I'd done this sooner. I literally dragged my feet on this for way too long. We were supposed to start this process at the beginning of 2024, I had everything set up, then I had my accident and we just never got back to it.But today we finally pulled the trigger, and I'm walking you through our entire quarterly planning session - the good, the messy, and why it gave me the biggest sigh of relief I've had in months. I break down the exact agenda we used, how we got everyone to brainstorm their own goals instead of me just spouting off ideas, and why this is the plateau breaker your business needs.Look, you can probably wing it up to a million in revenue, maybe even up to 3-5 million by throwing mud at the wall like we did. But if you want to get to 10, 20, 50 million and beyond, you need this kind of structure. You need decentralized command where your team can make decisions without running to you for every single answer.I'm keeping it real about my mistakes so you don't have to make them too. Let's grow these businesses the right way.

Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista) talks about EOS, an operating system for running & scaling your business successfully. In 2019, Morning Brew used EOS to scale the business from 15 people and $3 million in revenue to 300 people and $75 million in revenue. Michael Girdley is an entrepreneur and content creator who has a holding company of 12 businesses that do $100m in annual revenue. Michael is an EOS expert, having read Traction (which is the Bible of EOS dozens of times) and applied EOS to all of his portfolio companies. By the end of this episode you'll understand how EOS works, have tools to apply it to your business, and understand if it's a framework you want to understand more deeply.

Tune in to learn how to delegate smarter and scale sustainably.

Alex Freytag's "Stretch Not Snap" is a business fable that addresses a common challenge faced by entrepreneurial companies: how to transform the employee mindset into one of ownership, engagement, and shared vision, particularly through the strategic implementation of incentive plans.The book builds upon the foundation laid in another  business fable book by Gino Wickman and Mike Paton's "Get A Grip”. Freytag revisits the characters of Vic and Eileen, the leaders of Swan Services, as they navigate the next phase of their entrepreneurial journey.The story opens with Vic and Eileen facing a growing frustration. While their company, Swan Services, has successfully implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) – gaining traction, clarity on priorities, and leadership team alignment – they observe a fundamental disconnect among their employees. Despite the company's progress and the leaders' dedication, a prevailing "me-first" or "entitlement" mentality has taken root. Employees seem to expect bonuses and rewards merely for showing up, rather than genuinely connecting their daily efforts to the company's overarching vision and financial health. This disengagement is stifling Swan Services' potential and preventing the full realization of its culture.The core of "Stretch Not Snap" is the unfolding of the ProfitWorks Solution, a methodology designed to create a self-funded incentive plan that genuinely drives employee engagement and financial results. The fable illustrates this solution through the practical challenges and successes faced by Vic, Eileen, and their team. The essence of the ProfitWorks Solution revolves around six key principles:1. Financial Literacy and Transparency2. Identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Leading Measures3. The Self-Funded Incentive Plan4. Ending the Entitlement Mentality5. Sharing the Vision and Building Ownership6.
