Do you ever talk with God (or whatever you call that voice of wisdom that seems to know better than you do)?

In other words, rather than praying or meditating and hoping something magical happens, do you ever pray or meditate to set an intention and then quiet your mind to receive valuable clarity, wisdom, and guidance specific to your needs?

I usually do this first thing in the morning (during my SAVERS) and right before bed, and when I do, I consistently receive what I refer to as “downloads.” I call them downloads because they enter my consciousness so fast that I find myself writing as quickly as possible without any conscious thought. I’m not thinking; I’m just taking dictation.

In today’s episode, I’ll share how you can use periods of purposeful Silence to receive wisdom and create extraordinary breakthroughs without needing to follow a specific spiritual path. Whether you’re religious, atheist, agnostic, or simply someone searching for answers, this process can be transformative for you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a universal intelligence that we can all tap into
• Letting go of control makes room for the extraordinary
• We crave certainty, but the universe is beyond our understanding
• Hold your beliefs confidently, but stay open to other possibilities
• Three book recommendations to help you deepen this ability

Most of us go through life feeling like we’re falling short. Whether it’s at work, our relationships, or even just how we see ourselves, the pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming at times.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into what it means to be perfect as you are. You’ll learn how to handle setbacks without feeling like a failure, use those moments as a chance to grow, and recognize areas where you can improve without letting that take away from your self-worth.

Most importantly, you’ll see how embracing your imperfections can lead to a deeper sense of self-acceptance. You’ll learn practical ways to shift your mindset so that you can appreciate who you are now, even as you continue to grow. By doing that, you’ll be able to show up for others with more compassion and authenticity, helping them feel the same sense of worthiness you’re learning to embrace.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You’re already worthy, just as you are
• What you see as a flaw could be exactly what someone else loves about you

At this point, you've undoubtedly heard about AI and what the future might look like. There's a lot of talk about it; some of it is meant to scare us and make us believe AI will replace our jobs or disrupt our businesses. But it's not all bad news, and that's why I wanted to record this episode.

He once helped a CEO save his company in under ten minutes by showing him how to fully harness AI's potential. That's just one of the things you'll learn today. You'll also get insider tricks, tips, and prompts Geoff uses with AI tools, plus the mindset shifts you can make to free yourself from those tedious tasks and focus on the big-picture goals that drive real growth in your business, workplace, or everyday life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In a world full of AI, it’s still the moments with the people we care about that matter most

We’ve all had times when life feels overwhelming and nothing is going right. But here’s something I want you to remember: you’re not powerless in those situations. In fact, taking back control is easier than you might think, and it starts with a few small, yet powerful changes.

In today’s episode, I’m excited to show you just how simple it can be to bounce back from whatever life throws at you. I’m going to walk you through the exact routine I use when it feels like things are falling apart. And the best part is, you can use these steps to improve your finances, relationships, or even your mental and physical health.

By the end, you’ll not only feel calmer and more in charge, but you’ll also learn how to inspire those around you to do the same. So, you can be a shining example of resilience and leadership that others look up to and follow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You're not actually out of control; you just feel that way
• Focusing on what’s out of your control only makes you feel more powerless
• You can’t control what you don’t prioritize
• How you live your life gives other people permission to do the same unconsciously
• Leadership opportunities are all around us, every day

Consider that the fastest way to improve any aspect of your life is to find someone who has already succeeded in that area and then model that person.

With that in mind, which area(s) of your life do you want to improve, and whom are you modeling to accelerate your improvement?

That’s what today’s episode is all about. You’ll learn why figuring out everything on your own is a long and unnecessary road to success. I’ll break down how you can draw from the experiences of others and skip the trial-and-error phase as a shortcut to self-improvement.

I’ll also explain why I’ve been studying and modeling Jesus Christ (in a non-religious way) to hold myself to a higher moral standard. Even if you don’t consider yourself religious or spiritual, I hope you’ll stick with me as I continue sharing my journey of learning from others to help us all become better leaders, spread love, and stand for unity in an ever-increasing world of divisiveness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How attending my longtime friend’s funeral inspired me to model his spirit
• Why following in someone’s footsteps is the quickest path to success
• Questions to consider whom you’re modeling right now
• Why books are like having mentors on demand
• You can plan all you want, but if you’re not putting it into practice and living what you learn, it’s just potential that’s going nowhere.

Religion can be a very polarizing and even taboo topic. That’s why most people shy away from it at work, dinner parties, and family gatherings. But today, I want to challenge the notion that our differences define us and approach this sensitive topic from the perspective of unity. Regardless of whether you believe in a God or a divine force or are undecided about the existence of something greater, I believe the core thread that unites us all is a shared spirit that transcends those labels.

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey with faith and spirituality and reflecting on the experiences that have shaped my understanding. It’s easy to conflate being religious with being spiritual, but there’s an important distinction there, and understanding it can open up a whole new perspective on what it means to seek something bigger than yourself.

I’ll also explore the common values across various religious practices as they can be powerful tools for living a meaningful life, regardless of where you stand on the spiritual spectrum. My hope is to leave you with a fresh way of seeing the world, one that inspires hope and focuses less on the lines that separate us and more on the similarities that bring us together and help us build more empathy, connection, and respect in our everyday interactions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The difference between religion and spirituality
• Why Jesus is considered one of the most influential leaders of all time
• Finding unity begins with recognizing shared values and goals
• Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness, no matter what they believe
• Human connection is more than just physical presence
• Discovering the universal spirit that unites all religions

A few days ago, I received the devastating news that one of my dearest and closest friends, John Ruhin, author of Gift-ology, had passed away at only 45 years old. John has been a very close friend for over 20 years, a father to 4 young girls (4-13), and a devoted husband.

If you’ve ever lost someone dear to you, you know how profoundly shattering that moment is. But amidst the heartache, there’s an undeniable truth: while we cannot change the reality of loss, but we can (and must) choose how we respond to it.

So, for today’s episode, I want to honor my friend and share 3 steps for coping with both your mortality and the inevitable loss of those you love. (In full transparency, I recorded this the day after I found out about John’s passing, so it was still very raw.)

Accepting the reality and inevitability of death—our own and our loved ones—can be one of the hardest but most necessary steps in this process. It’s a truth we often avoid, but facing it head-on allows us to find peace and help others do the same.

Then, we can live in a way that reflects their values, like the generosity John embodied, and we not only honor their memory but also enrich our own lives and the lives of those around us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Death is as natural as birth
• There’s no value in wishing the inevitable were different
• The inevitability of death is certain, but the way we live our lives is our choice
• The suffering we experience often comes from our resistance to accepting reality
• Your beliefs and worldview deeply influence the quality of your life
• The legacy you leave behind and the care you show to your loved ones are enduring acts of love
• It’s better to feel than to suppress painful emotions
