Are you wired as an introvert or extrovert? More of a thinker or feeler? Do you prefer judging or perceiving?

In this episode of The Power in the Pain Podcast, Greg breaks down the core personality meta programs (NLP), how they relate to popular models like DISC, and—most importantly—how to use them without boxing yourself in.

He'll show you how personality patterns drive your communication, relationships, leadership, and decision-making, plus simple ways to flex your style under stress so you get better results at home and at work.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

• Identify your core meta programs (introvert/extrovert, thinker/feeler, judger/perceiver)

• Apply personality insights to conflict, feedback, and collaboration

• Align your values, needs, strengths & weaknesses with daily choices

• Build leadership presence by matching your message to the other person's style

• Avoid the "label trap" and keep personality insights fluid and useful

If you want practical self-awareness tools you can use today—without a 200-question quiz—this conversation is your fast track to communicating clearer, leading better, and living more aligned.
