Upgrading Your "Being", Not Just Your "Doing" w/ Ryan Gottfredson

What if the key to unlocking your potential isn't learning new skills, but upgrading your internal operating system? In this profound conversation with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, we explore the revolutionary concept that transformed his life and could change yours: the distinction between your "doing side" and your "being side."

While most personal and professional development focuses on acquiring knowledge and skills, Dr. Gottfredson, author of Becoming Better, reveals that true transformation happens when we elevate our "being side"—the quality of our internal operating system, including our mindsets, emotional regulation, and character. This isn't just abstract theory; it's supported by decades of research across four fundamental mindset pairs that determine whether we operate from self-protection or value creation.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Gottfredson shares how his own childhood wiring created an avoidant attachment style that kept his wife at arm's length for 12 years of their marriage. His personal journey of awareness and transformation illustrates how our survival mechanisms from childhood often become obstacles to our success as adults, parents, and leaders.

Perhaps most eye-opening is the revelation that 60% of leaders struggle with a fixed mindset—they're more focused on avoiding looking bad than on growth and learning. This ego-driven self-protection prevents them from adapting to increasing complexity, causing both personal and organizational stagnation.

Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply trying to reach your potential, this episode offers practical insights into how healing your mind, body, and heart can elevate your "being side" and transform every aspect of your life. As Dr. Gottfredson puts it: "The wiring that we develop to survive our childhood is not the same wiring that we need to succeed as an adult."
