What would your life look like if fear no longer controlled your decisions? In this powerful solo episode of Navigating Leaders, Gabriel Greiss explores the true nature of fear: what it is, where it comes from, and how it quietly limits the life you were designed to live. From childhood conditioning to adult patterns of safety and control, Gabriel reveals how fear often shows up as stories we tell ourselves: I’m not enough. I don’t have what it takes. I might fail. But here’s the truth:...
What happens when you gain everything the world says should make you happy—fame, success, money, influence—and still feel empty inside? In this powerful episode of Navigating Leaders, Gabriel sits down with former British Royal Marine Commando, entrepreneur, and spiritual seeker Geoff Barker, whose life journey took him from elite military service to celebrity circles, addiction, and ultimately a radical search for truth that spanned seven years and 33 countries. Geoff shares how he built Aus...
What comes to mind when you hear the word risk? In this deeply personal episode of Navigating Leaders, Gabriel demonstrates that the greatest risks we face aren’t always physical, they’re emotional. They’re relational. They’re the moments when we choose whether to protect ourselves or to live honestly and boldly. Through a powerful story involving his wife and a simple evening at home, Gabriel uncovers a pattern of passive-aggressive communication that had quietly shaped their relationship. W...
What drives the decisions you make every day? In this episode of Navigating Leaders, Gabriel challenges you to take an honest look at your priorities and whether those priorities are being intentionally chosen or unintentionally shaped by the pressures of daily life. Gabriel introduces a powerful priority framework that reshaped his own life: God → Self → Spouse → Kids → Mission → Currency While this order may feel counterintuitive at first, the deeper message is not about equal time allocati...

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? In Episode 4, Gabriel explores the journey toward wholeness, and what it means to live aligned, integrated, and at peace with yourself in a world full of noise, conflict, and pressure. This episode unpacks the internal battle many of us live with daily: the tension between ego and spirit, between the version of ourselves shaped by fear, scarcity, and protection and the deeper self-marked by love, abundance, and purpose. Through personal stories, s...
Is balance something you achieve or something you practice? In Episode 3, Gabriel challenges one of the most common (and damaging) myths we believe about life, leadership, and success: that balance is a fixed destination we’re supposed to arrive at. Through a powerful near-death experience while rock climbing, Gabriel illustrates a life-changing truth: balance is dynamic, not static. It’s something we work at, adjust, and recommit to daily, not something we “get” once and for all. In this epi...
Do you trust me? It’s a simple question—but for many of us, it’s deeply triggering. In Episode 2 of the Navigating Leaders Podcast, host Gabriel continues the conversation that began with triggers by diving into the foundation beneath them: trust. Through a deeply personal and faith-anchored story, Gabriel shares his journey from growing up on a Nebraska farm to earning a place at the U.S. Air Force Academy—despite rejection, doubt, and voices telling him it wasn’t possible. This episode expl...
