The Joe Polish Show

Entrepreneurial legend Gino Wickman joins Joe Polish for a deeply honest conversation about success, awakening, and the real meaning of freedom.

Here's a glance at what you'll discover in this episode: The 5 Stages Every Entrepreneur Must Climb (and Why Most Get Stuck on the Wrong One): Gino shares the "five pieces of content" that map the Entrepreneur's life... from their first leap to finally finding peace. The 6 Essential Traits of a True Entrepreneur: Why Gino says only 3–4% of people are actually wired for entrepreneurship — and how to tell if you really are (or if you're forcing a life that isn't yours). The Real Definition of Freedom: Why systems and structure don't restrict Entrepreneurs... they create freedom. (And how Gino's EOS framework frees founders from chaos.) The Hidden Trap of Scaling: What happens when you "scale" something that isn't ready — and how to tell if you've "nailed it" before you "scale it." The "Soul Ping" That Changes Everything: Gino reveals the moment when even driven high-achievers get "pinged" by their soul — and how that awakening reshapes everything you chase, build, and value. Love vs. Fear: Why every decision you make comes from one of these two energies — and how to instantly recognize when fear is running the show. Inside Out vs. Outside In: The mindset shift that multiplies your drive, energy, and fulfillment without burning you out. Why Entrepreneurs Are Addicted to the Climb: The psychology of drive, trauma, and obsession — and how to transform that same energy into calm, purpose, and creativity. The Synchronicity Pocket: Gino's formula for slowing down just enough to see everything clearly and operate from peace — without losing your edge. Hiring, Firing, and the "Right People, Right Seat" Formula: The single most practical system for building teams that actually work — and what weak managers must do first. How to Know When You Deserve the Life You Built: Gino's advice to every entrepreneur who's succeeded on paper but still doesn't feel worthy of their own success. The Shocking Realization Gino Had After Reaching the Top: What it means for every driven Entrepreneur chasing success.

Emmy-nominated actress and author Cheryl Hines joins Joe Polish to share how living Unscripted—in Hollywood, marriage, and life—taught her to trust her instincts, stay grounded under pressure, and find humor in uncertainty. How growing up with nothing gave Cheryl Hines the fearless mindset that launched her from a Florida lunch line to Hollywood.

Why the safest path can be the most dangerous one, and how real freedom begins the moment you stop trying to protect yourself. How the improv rules that made Curb Your Enthusiasm a hit became her framework for living with courage, humor, and connection. WATCH: Unscripted: Cheryl Hines on Finding Humor, Grace, and Freedom When Life Goes Off Script What really happens when Hollywood meets politics, and how Cheryl learned to hold her center when the noise got personal. The unseen discipline that keeps her calm, centered, and funny no matter how chaotic life gets. What Cheryl says life with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taught her about strength, loyalty, and keeping your humor when the whole world is watching. The realization grief gave her about love, and why she believes loss isn't an ending but a way to keep love alive. The belief that now guides Cheryl through chaos and change, and why the best parts of life begin when the script falls apart.
