Episode 122: More Output, Less Chaos: The Case for Slowing Down


Listen Later

Slowing down sounds simple. For driven people, it can feel like dying.
In this episode of Shed & Shine, Rob and Gino get into why high performers are often terrified to slow down, and what's really underneath that fear. When you stop moving, stuff comes up. Everything your soul has been trying to show you. And for a lot of driven people, that's the scariest part of all.
Gino shares a conversation he had with a client who just sold his second company and can't figure out how to shift gears after 40 years of going hard. The advice? Create space. Say no. Sit with the discomfort. Because the next thing worth doing rarely shows up while you're still running at full speed.
Your drive isn't the problem. It's about finding the speed where everything opens up.
