Advertise on podcast: How To Do Life with Giorgio Genaus

This episode explains why feeling behind usually has nothing to do with where you actually are. Giorgio shares a story from training for his first 5km run and an analogy comparing single-prop planes to commercial jets to show why comparing your journey to someone else's is never a fair measure of progress.

This episode challenges the idea that pressure makes you perform better. Giorgio explains why founders who back themselves into a corner tend to freeze instead of thrive, and shares the question he asks clients to alleviate that pressure fast. He also tells a story from his dad's workshop that reframes how to get clarity when you're too close to see the way through.

You don't need more motivation to get unstuck. You need to make the next step smaller. Giorgio walks through a real coaching session where a business owner went from overwhelmed by six "mountains" to three simple phone calls on his calendar. He also shares how the same approach got him back into consistent gym training. If something in your life feels too big to tackle, this episode shows you how to shrink it.

Most people try to create what they want from a place of scarcity. Giorgio breaks down why that's the problem, and why coming back to genuine gratitude for what you already have is where real momentum starts. If you've been trying to manifest something that feels out of reach, this one reframes the whole approach.

AI fearmongering is at an all-time high. And most of it is telling you something about your own fear, not about AI. In this episode, Giorgio cuts through the noise on what AI can and genuinely can't replace, why the panic is a mindset problem before it's a business problem, and how to trace your fear back to where it actually started. If the AI conversation is making you anxious, this is worth a listen.

You’re not stuck, you’re just following old evidence. Self-doubt isn't an absence of confidence; it's something weighing down your natural state. This episode explains how to approach personal growth by understanding your mindset and overcoming limiting beliefs. If you’ve ever felt like no matter what you do, you keep ending up in the same place, this is the reset you need.

Ever notice how the same challenges keep showing up — in business, relationships, or life? It’s not fate. It’s memory. If you’ve been trying to move forward but feel like something invisible keeps pulling you back, this one will hit home.

Is your vision healing you… or secretly hurting you? In this episode, Giorgio breaks down why so many of us build our goals and visions from a place of unresolved pain — and what it really takes to shift into inspired, aligned action.

In this episode of the How To Do Life Podcast, I unpack why avoidance is a sneaky form of self-sabotage and show you how to face the hard stuff before it balloons into something bigger, hairier and far more expensive in time, energy and peace of mind.

Feel like you’re one decision away from screwing it all up? You're not alone — and you're not broken. In this episode, Giorgio Genaus unpacks why self-doubt gets loudest just before we grow, and what it really means to back yourself when everything feels uncertain.

In this episode, Giorgio shares the hard-earned truth that transformed his life and business: taking 100% responsibility. From career misalignment and financial struggle to breakthrough moments in business and relationships — this is a vulnerable, powerful look at how stepping into ownership is the key to real transformation. If you’ve been waiting to be discovered or saved... this one’s for you.

Discover the life-changing power of one simple question: Is it true? In this episode of the How To Do Life podcast, Giorgio Genaus unpacks how shifting your perception can transform your beliefs, your emotions, and your results—without changing your circumstances.

Life has a way of throwing us challenges—moments where we feel utterly stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed.When I was younger, a deeply rooted belief that I couldn’t rely on anyone emerged from some tough experiences. My response? A fierce determination to navigate life's hurdles independently, crafting solutions solely from within.Ironically, this inward quest led me straight back out—through the wisdom of others shared in books and teachings—transforming my perspective profoundly.The Mirror in Front of YouThe external world around us isn’t just happening at us; it’s happening for us. It serves as a mirror, reflecting aspects of our inner world we otherwise might never see. Think about it: if there were no reflective surfaces, you’d never truly know what you look like. Similarly, there are hidden elements in our psychology—beliefs, emotions, perceptions—that remain invisible until mirrored by external circumstances and interactions.I began to see obstacles and challenging people not as problems to dodge, but as essential reflections revealing my inner wounds, biases, and blind spots. This shift was monumental. Suddenly, every frustration, annoyance, and obstacle transformed into an opportunity to learn something critical about myself.Turning Frustrations into GrowthConsider the person at the café who talks too loudly, distracting your focus, or the colleague whose behaviour grates on your nerves. Initially, our instinct might be to distance ourselves from these irritations. But what if these very triggers are invitations to uncover and heal old wounds?When you're triggered, ask yourself, “What exactly is bothering me about this situation?” Digging into specifics prevents overgeneralisation—turning abstract annoyance into actionable insight. Perhaps the loud café-goer triggers feelings of disrespect, mirroring a past moment where you felt undervalued. Understanding this shifts the scenario from a nuisance to a profound personal discovery.Developing Your Psychological Immune SystemAvoiding triggers creates an overly sterile environment. Just as our physical immune system strengthens through exposure to diverse environments, our psychological resilience grows when we consciously engage with what bothers us. Each trigger you confront and resolve is a boost to your emotional immunity, making future challenges feel less overwhelming and more navigable.Practical Steps to Master the MirrorWhen faced with a triggering situation, practice these simple yet potent questions:"What exactly about this situation or person bothers me?" Specificity turns vague discomfort into clear understanding."Who would I be if this didn't bother me?" Imagine the freedom and ease available to you without that burden."Who would I be if I took complete ownership of this feeling?" Regain power by recognising the control you have over your reactions.The Profound ShiftThis perspective transforms how you navigate life. Instead of feeling victimised by circumstances, you actively use each situation as a stepping stone to personal growth. Challenges become opportunities, and frustrations turn into moments of gratitude and insight.By continually applying this reflective approach, you create pathways of possibility where previously you saw dead ends. Life opens up, offering multiple avenues forward, each enriched by the growth you've cultivated.Embrace the Mirror, Transform Your LifeI share this because it profoundly changed my own journey. From isolation and frustration to openness and curiosity, this practice continually helps me transcend obstacles with clarity and ease. It’s not about becoming unbothered but learning to see every bother as a beacon guiding you towards deeper self-awareness and growth.Take a moment today to notice your triggers, reflect on their messages, and start using the external mirror to illuminate your internal genius. The transformation awaiting you is nothing short of remarkable.

Giorgio explores the common yet often unconscious fear of success that holds many people back from achieving their goals.

In this episode, Giorgio Genaus reflects on a powerful quote from Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. Frankl’s quote emphasises the importance of inner freedom and choosing one's attitude despite challenging external circumstances. Georgio discusses how this perspective helps overcome personal struggles, urging you to look within rather than blaming external factors. He further draws parallels between psychological and physiological immunity, suggesting ways to develop mental resilience. By shifting your perception and uncovering hidden opportunities in adversity, you can navigate life’s difficulties successfully. Tune in to discover how Viktor Frankl’s insights can transform your approach to life's challenges and help you find meaning and strength from within.
