Download the Program Execution System Toolkit: https://implementgpts.com/pestoolkit =============== In this episode, I sit down with Stan Gibson to explore what it really means to live with intention. We talked about the moment a friend’s cancer diagnosis changed Stan’s view of life, why so many people drift through their days, and how identity, affirmations, and self-awareness shape the future we create. Stan breaks down the neuroscience behind intentional living, the five key areas he helps clients improve, and why a clear internal framework matters more than vague ambition. We also discuss grief, purpose, relationships, and how to stop postponing the life you actually want. This conversation is a thoughtful look at how to move from drift to design. =============== Stan’s Links: - Website: https://www.stangibsonspeaks.com/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stangibsonspeaks/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stankgibson - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stangibson Living A Rich And Intentional Life: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Rich-Intentional-Life-Gibson/dp/B08NMD828R Stan’s Free Tools: https://leadwithstan.com/ =============== - My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-gatzke/ - Schedule Free Blueprinting Call: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/implement-ai-blueprinting =============== Highlights: 00:00 I introduce Stan 00:24 Death changed life 03:46 I ask memento 05:21 Intentionality explained neuroscience 10:47 I ask why 12:24 Brain changes behavior 15:13 Cancer grief perspective 18:00 Five life areas 20:04 I discuss ikigai 21:49 I map process 25:01 90 day strategy 26:57 Life out balance 27:40 Therefore I must 30:00 One more day 33:30 Book and tools 34:51 Why write book 38:22 AI and meaning 40:53 Service creates wealth 42:10 Billb…
