The Power of Giving: How “Giftoology” Can Transform Your Business and Your Life

Good day, community! Pete Kane here — your Podcast Pete, your Certified High Performance Coach, and your biggest believer in what’s possible for you.

Today, I want to share something deeply personal and incredibly powerful. It’s a message rooted in loss, in second chances, and in the simple truth that has shaped my life and my business:

Giving isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are when we’re operating at our highest level.

A good friend of mine, Rod, recently lost his partner John. Their journey… their dreams… everything they were building together came to a sudden stop. And it hit me on a personal level, because years ago, I had my own wake-up call — a massive stroke that should have taken me out. But it didn’t.

And when you walk through moments like those, you stop asking, “What do I need?” and start asking,
“What can I give while I’m still here?”

Your Business Should Never Be a Well-Kept Secret

Let me tell you something: hiding your business, hiding your impact, hiding your voice — that serves no one.

Whether you’re running a nonprofit, a coaching program, a side hustle, or a seven-figure enterprise…
people need to know who you are and how you help.

You can’t create influence if no one can find you.
You can’t transform lives if they don’t know you exist.

This is one reason I do podcasts, webinars, content drops — all of it.
You have to show up so people can shine in to your world.

I Wear Mismatched Shoes for a Reason

Sounds funny, doesn’t it?
But yes — I wear two different colored shoes on purpose.

Because every one of us needs a “gift” that starts conversations.

For me, people notice the shoes, they laugh, they ask questions — and suddenly we’re talking, connecting, sharing stories. That one silly choice has opened doors, created relationships, and built opportunities I couldn’t have planned for.

Your story is a gift.
Your presence is a gift.
Your authenticity is a gift.

Don’t hide it.

A Healthy Business Lets You Give More

I believe in this with everything in me:

When your business is healthy, you become a giver on a whole new level.
Not just financially — but through opportunities, influence, impact.

Giving expands you.
Giving grounds you.
Giving connects you.

And as the great verse says:
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

That’s not just spiritual truth — that’s business truth.

Champions Journal. Period.

If you follow me, you already know how strongly I believe in journaling.

Every day, my rhythm is the same:
Think → Journal → Plan → Implement.

That flow increases clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence — the five high-performance principles I live by.

And because journaling changed my life, I’m gifting my entire journaling course.
If you want it, send me the word GIFT or PODCAST, and I’ll make sure you get it.

Let Your Light Shine Out — The World Needs It

At the end of the day, here’s the real message:

Stop dimming your impact.
Stop hiding your voice.
Stop assuming your story doesn’t matter.

Because when you shine out, others are empowered to shine in.

And that’s how we build businesses that outlive us.
That’s how we build communities that support us.
That’s how we build lives we’re proud of.

Let’s give more.
Let’s serve more.
Let’s shine more.

You’ve got this — and I’m cheering for you every step of the way.
