    The Courage to Be Fully Yourself: What It Really Means to Be Free With Craig Siegel

    In this powerful episode, Craig is on the opposite side of the mic - this time being interviewed by Rudi Riekstins. Craig Siegel explores what it truly means to stop performing for the world and start expressing who you really are. He shares how studying Kabbalah and deepening his relationship with the Creator transformed his understanding of identity, consciousness, and abundance. From understanding tikkun, the soul’s correction, to confronting the belief that you’re never enough, Craig unpacks why your next level often requires letting an old identity die. He also reveals how tithing shifted his relationship with money, why leaning into discomfort is essential for growth, and how to pair maximum effort in the physical world with surrender in the spiritual world. Through creating white space, asking better questions, and becoming more receptive to guidance, Craig invites you to stop chasing external validation and embrace the fullest expression of who you were created to be. Because full expression is the assignment. 01:08 Stop Performing and Start Being Yourself 07:56 Kabbalah, Consciousness, and Receiving More Light 16:15 Tikkun: Understanding Your Soul’s Correction 29:15 How Tithing Transformed Craig’s Money Mindset 33:06 Maximum Effort, Spiritual Surrender, and Detachment Check out Rudi's podcast HERE: Check out Rudi HERE: Early Bird Tickets now available for our April 2027 Event, CLS: Emanation HERE: To join our community click here. ➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

    You Can't Build a New Life on an Old Operating System - Minisode

    In this bonus transmission, Craig Siegel explores why strategies alone can’t create lasting expansion when your identity is still rooted in fear, guilt, or the need to stay familiar. He introduces the “capacity gap,” the distance between what you consciously desire and what you’re currently able to receive, hold, sustain, and steward. Your desires reveal where you want to go, but your patterns reveal what you’re currently available for. Craig challenges you to stop asking only what you need to learn and start asking what you need to release and return to within yourself. Because sometimes what looks like bad luck is really an unconscious pull toward what feels familiar. The next level isn’t always about doing more. It’s about becoming someone who can hold more without sabotaging it. 0:18 Why Strategy Isn’t Working 00:54 Release What’s Blocking Your Expansion 01:39 Understanding the Capacity Gap 02:08 The Difference Between Desire and Capacity 05:29 Your Patterns Reveal What You Can Hold Early Bird Tickets now available for our April 2027 Event, CLS: Emanation HERE: Check out The Command Room HERE:  To join our community click here. ➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram ➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

    In this powerful conversation, Craig sits down with entrepreneur Anne Mahlum to unpack the mindset, leadership, and relentless commitment to growth behind building [solidcore] into a multimillion dollar fitness brand. Anne shares how her journey began with Back on My Feet, a nonprofit using running and community to help people experiencing homelessness rebuild self belief and self sufficiency, and how that experience shaped her approach to entrepreneurship. She reveals the importance of setting high standards, protecting culture, and creating authentic community, while navigating lawsuits, early business setbacks, private equity, and the uncertainty of COVID. Anne also opens up about the decisions that helped her scale the business, negotiate her $100 million exit, and share millions with employees. Beyond the financial success, she reflects on knowing when to walk away, redefining fulfillment after a major exit, and choosing a life that prioritizes motherhood, purpose, and new possibilities.

    The Readiness Myth: Why Waiting Is Keeping You Stuck - Minisode

    In this short bonus transmission, Craig explores why the next level of expansion sometimes begins with subtraction. He challenges the idea that growth always means doing more, explaining the difference between acceleration and expansion, and why increasing your capacity may require letting go of what no longer aligns. Whether it’s narrowing your focus, reducing commitments, changing relationships, or serving fewer people more deeply, subtraction can create the space needed for something greater to emerge. Craig also tackles the myth of readiness, asking what we’re really waiting for before we take the next step. More confidence? More certainty? Less fear? He reminds us that fear is a natural part of meaningful growth and that confidence isn’t a prerequisite for action. It’s what action creates. When you move, you build evidence, strengthen self trust, and develop the confidence to keep going. Your next level may not require you to do more. It may require you to release what’s holding you back and start before you feel ready. 0:18 Subtraction Before Expansion 01:48 Stop Waiting to Feel Ready 02:04 The Myth of Readiness 03:14 Fear Is Part of Meaningful Growth 03:46 Action Builds Confidence Early Bird Tickets now available for our April 2027 Event, CLS: Emanation HERE: Check out The Command Room HERE:  To join our community click here. ➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram ➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

    When Life Breaks You: How to Grieve, Heal, and Choose Life Again with Dr. Laura Berman

    In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, Craig welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and therapist Dr. Laura Berman to explore somatic grief healing, spirituality, and how love continues after loss. Drawing from the devastating loss of her 16 year old son Sammy, Laura shares how her journey through unimaginable pain transformed her understanding of grief and led her to embrace somatic work, therapy, yoga, and spiritual practices. Together, they unpack why grief cannot always be resolved through intellectual understanding alone, why we must learn to feel rather than manage our emotions, and how guilt, anger, and family dynamics can shape the healing process. Laura also explores the idea of continuing bonds with loved ones, raising our frequency, and allowing ourselves to experience joy without feeling that we're leaving someone behind. This is a conversation about learning to live alongside grief without losing our connection to love, and discovering how opening ourselves to the full depth of our pain can make us more present, less fearful, and more alive. 02:05 The Connection Between Grief and Embodied Presence 04:56 What Traditional Grief Support Often Misses 18:47 Losing Sammy and the Journey Into Healing 31:39 Feel It to Heal It: Making Space for Grief 44:40 Releasing Guilt and Learning to Love Without Fear Check out Dr. Laura on Instagram HERE: Check out Dr. Laura HERE: Check out Dr. Laura's Book HERE: Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE: To join our community click here. ➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

    Why You Can't Shake the Feeling You're Meant for More - Minisode

    In this short Minisode, Craig challenges us to stop thinking small and recognize that our expansion impacts more than just ourselves. He unpacks why playing small is often fear disguised as humility, and how stepping into our gifts requires us to raise our standards, take responsibility, and let go of the excuses that keep us comfortable. Craig asks us to consider who misses out when we suppress our potential, negotiate with our greatness, or pretend we don’t want what we truly desire. Drawing on Kabbalah, he explores desire as a sacred vessel and a soul level assignment, reminding us that minimizing what we’re called to become can create a deeper sense of disconnection. The world doesn’t need our perfection. It needs our willingness to expand, honor our desires, and become who we’re here to be. 0:18 The Hidden Cost of Thinking Small 01:59 When Fear Disguises Itself as Humility 03:00 Why Your Expansion Impacts Others 03:35 Stop Negotiating With Your Greatness 04:36 Desire as a Sacred Vessel Early Bird Tickets now available for our April 2027 Event, CLS: Emanation HERE: Check out The Command Room HERE:  To join our community click here. ➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram ➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X

    The Human Advantage AI Will Never Have: The Intelligence Living Inside Your Body with Master Mingtong Gu

    In this powerful conversation, Craig welcomes Master Mingtong Gu, founder of the Chi Center and the Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom, and author of Coming Home to Embodied Awakening. Master Gu shares how childhood hardship, illness, and trauma led him to discover the profound connection between mind and body, ultimately guiding him to Wisdom Healing Qigong and the teachings of Dr. Pang Ming. Together, they explore how our perception of healing can limit what we believe is possible, why so many of us are living from the neck up, and how constant thinking and distraction disconnect us from the wisdom of our bodies. Master Gu guides a brief embodied meditation and explains how qigong helps shift us from contraction into openness, reconnecting us with energy, presence, and a deeper sense of wholeness. In a world increasingly shaped by AI and digital experiences, they reflect on what makes human presence uniquely powerful and why coming home to the body may be one of the most important practices of our time. 0:55 Meet Master Mingtong Gu and His Path to Awakening 10:22 Rethinking Healing and the Limits of Our Perception 22:01 Living From the Neck Up and Reconnecting With the Body 39:03 Human Presence in the Age of AI 48:24 Wisdom Healing Qigong and the Practice of Coming Home Check out Master Gu's Book HERE: Check out Master Gu HERE: For a free chapter of Master Gu’s book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening visit HERE Early Bird Tickets now available for our October live event, CLS: Formation HERE: To join our community click here. ➤ Order a copy of Craig's book The Reinvention Formula today!  ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and wisdom to elevate your life, text (917) 634-3796 ➤ INSTAGRAM ➤ FACEBOOK ➤ TIKTOK ➤ YOUTUBE ➤ WEBSITE ➤ LINKEDIN ➤ X
