In this first episode of 2026, Gene breaks down a simple but powerful system for goal-setting and productivity that actually works in the real world. Instead of New Year’s resolutions that fade by February, this episode focuses on daily execution, accountability, and winning the day—one decision at a time.

Gene shares personal lessons, productivity frameworks he’s returning to this year, and a practical way to turn massive goals into daily wins using the Power List concept popularized by Andy Frisella.

Why most New Year’s resolutions fail

Overestimating the year vs. underestimating the day

Quarterly goal check-ins and adjusting the target

The Power List: 3–5 daily actions to win the day

Turning daily wins into weekly, monthly, and yearly success

Focus Finder sessions and deep work

Productivity habits for business and life
