What is The Genius Effect?

Your genius is the work you were made to do. The Genius Effect is the podcast that helps you find your genius, live in your genius, and free others to do the same.

Hosted by Donnie Tuttle, executive coach, author, and speaker, each episode explores how to discover your calling and build your work around it, so you get less grind, more flow, and better results.

Expect two kinds of episodes. In solo episodes, Donnie teaches the Genius Effect framework and practical tools for aligning your gifts, purpose, and process. In guest episodes, he talks with authors, speakers, coaches, and leaders about how they uncovered their genius and how they help others find theirs.

Made for coaches, authors, speakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are capable and successful but feel misaligned, and want work that fits who they were made to be.
