In this eye-opening episode of Pockets of Knowledge, host Desiree Stanley welcomes Taryn Voget, founder of Everyday Genius and creator of The Genius Lab, for a powerful conversation about unlocking the unique brilliance that lives within all of us. Drawing from her work with high-performing leaders, founders, and creatives (including those at SpaceX and The Gates Foundation), Taryn shares how identifying your personal genius isn’t about adding more hustle—it’s about understanding the subconscious patterns behind your success.
Together, Taryn and Desiree explore the difference between talent and genius, why burnout often signals a misalignment with your deeper gifts, and how tuning into your innate brilliance can radically shift your career, relationships, and well-being.
The conversation also touches on the intersection of intuition and logic, how to identify your core strengths, and why so many driven individuals feel stuck—even when things look successful on the outside. Taryn offers a fresh framework for accessing deeper clarity, refining your purpose, and making impactful decisions that are true to who you are.
Whether you're a founder, creator, executive, or simply someone searching for more meaning in your work, this episode will leave you inspired to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the genius that’s already within you.
