Wake Up With Giants TV: Mindset, Leadership & the 12 Journeys
You're not broken. You're stuck.
You've read the books. You know what to do. Everyone thinks you have it together. And still, you keep hitting the same wall.
Wake Up With Giants TV helps capable people see the pattern running their lives and outgrow it. Your hosts are Nicholas Townsend Smith and Ryan R. Morris. The show is built on the 12 Journeys and The Giants and the Smalls. It starts from one simple truth: every Giant was born a Small.
Here's what years of selling, coaching and leading have taught us. Insight is cheap. Behavior is not. You don't need another pep talk. You need to see the pattern clearly, then take the next step.
On the show you'll find:
- Real stories: honest conversations with people who hit a wall and grew through it. Divorce, loss, burnout, a stalled career, a dream that wouldn't let go.
- The 12 Journeys: plain-language teaching on awareness, grief, acceptance, gratitude, uncertainty, vision, legacy and more. You'll recognize each season in your own life.
- Practice: guided meditations, simple tools and community conversations you can use today, not someday.
This show is for the strong one everyone leans on. The top producer stuck at the same number. The leader who is quietly tired. Anyone in the middle of a change they didn't choose.
Stuck isn't who you are. It's where you've been standing.
