In this episode of “Shed and Shine,” Gino Wickman and Rob Dube explore the impact of “Big T” and “Little T” traumas—whether life-altering events or everyday stressors. They emphasize that trauma isn’t about the event itself but how we respond to it, highlighting the importance of releasing the energy it holds. 

Even small, repeated experiences can accumulate, disrupting our lives like “death by a thousand paper cuts.” Through personal stories, Gino and Rob discuss resilience, generational differences in handling adversity, and the importance of self-awareness in processing these hidden wounds. 

They share practical tools like therapy, meditation, and journaling to manage emotional triggers and find clarity. Listeners are encouraged to continue their inner work, shedding past burdens to shine with strength and peace. This reflective conversation inspires a deeper understanding of trauma and the freedom that comes with self-discovery.

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino Wickman delves into the essence of being a driven entrepreneur, celebrating its blessings while acknowledging its curses. Drawing from years of experience and personal reflection, Gino invites you to embrace the unique traits that define you as a visionary and leader.

Entrepreneurs are creative, optimistic, and relentless idea generators with a hunger for growth and success. Their grit, passion, and ability to see the big picture drive them to transform ideas into reality. But with these strengths come challenges—disorganization, perfectionism, and the difficulty of taming the restless mind. Gino encourages you to see these so-called flaws not as barriers but as opportunities for self-awareness and growth.

By understanding and managing the “curse” side of entrepreneurial life, you can shed what holds you back, laugh at your imperfections, and lean into your True Self. This episode is a powerful reminder to celebrate who you are, both light and shadow, as you navigate the journey of shedding and shining.

In this episode of “Shed and Shine”, Gino and Rob explore the art of awareness as it shapes decisions from a place of love rather than fear. They highlight two types of awareness—general and pure—where general is a surface-level mindfulness, while pure awareness allows a profound, unbiased connection with thoughts and emotions. Gino shares a key insight on the importance of stepping back to “watch the movie” of our thoughts and responses as they unfold, especially when interactions with loved ones or colleagues stir deep emotions. He explains how awareness becomes a mirror, reflecting areas within ourselves that need attention and growth.

Rob introduces practical techniques like meditation and mindful presence, emphasizing how they help in releasing emotional triggers and aligning closer to one's True Self. The hosts encourage listeners to cultivate this pure awareness, to shed inner blocks, and to consciously choose love over fear—ultimately freeing their True Self to shine fully in both personal and professional realms.

This Shed and Shine episode dives into the concept of "pure energy" and how understanding this principle can help entrepreneurs shed mental and emotional blocks. Gino Wickman and Rob Dube unpack the scientific and philosophical insights behind energy, exploring how everything—including thoughts and human interactions—consists of energy and vibrational frequencies. Rob introduces foundational ideas from quantum mechanics and Einstein’s E=mc², suggesting that at our core, humans are pure energy, constantly vibrating and interacting.
Gino simplifies this heady concept, sharing his belief that we are all connected through energy and vibrations that drive our thoughts, feelings, and interactions. The conversation also delves into how we can manage these vibrations to let go of ego-driven attachments, overcome trauma, and align more closely with our True Selves. Gino references David Hawkins' “Map of Consciousness” to help listeners visualize different vibrational states, from fear and shame to love and enlightenment, guiding them on a path toward higher consciousness and deeper personal freedom.

In this episode of “Shed and Shine”, Gino Wickman and Rob Dube, recently back from their summer sabbaticals, share the art of unplugging and setting up for true disconnection. They each recount how they spent their time — for Gino, it meant slowing down, reconnecting with past creative pursuits like drawing, and embracing the freedom of doing "nothing." For Rob, his sabbatical involved traveling for psychedelic therapy, exploring nature, and allowing himself to start each day without a plan, creating space for personal reflection and connection with his wife. They emphasize the personal benefits of extended time away, exploring what it takes to make a sabbatical possible as a driven entrepreneur, from building a supportive team to establishing clear boundaries. This episode dives into the logistics, mindset shifts, and clarity that intentional time away can provide.
