In this vibrant and wide-ranging episode of Limitless, host Tracy Poizner sits down with internationally acclaimed executive coach and TED mainstage speaker coach Gina Barnett to explore the power of embodied communication. From the body-mind connection to subconscious physical habits, Gina unpacks how deeply our presence, performance, and influence are shaped by unconscious muscle memory, trauma, and self-perception—and how we can change all of it.

Drawing on her book Play the Part and her decades of experience in acting, voice, leadership, and communication coaching, Gina shares practical tools and deeply insightful stories of helping high-profile leaders transform how they show up—by transforming how they inhabit their own bodies. This is a masterclass in embodied potential, authentic expression, and true confidence.

• Behind the scenes at TED: what it takes to prepare a world-class talk

• How your body shapes your thoughts—and your thoughts shape your body

• Releasing subconscious blocks through physical movement

• Why “muscle memory” isn’t just about sports or dance—it’s emotional

• Communication as a full-body experience, not just a voice

• How physicality unlocks empathy and multi-dimensional presence

• The mirror exercise and “copy someone’s walk” as transformational tools

• Cultural biases, nervous system patterns, and performance anxiety

• Why play is essential to personal and professional growth

• The neuroscience of early trauma, safety, and behavioral patterns

• Posture, breath, and voice as instruments of leadership

“You never learn anything while you're talking. The key is listening—with your whole body.”
“Play isn’t frivolous—it’s how we learn, how we connect, and how we grow.”

“Communication is not just what you say. It’s how you breathe, stand, and move.”

Gina Barnett is an executive communication coach, speaker, and author of Play the Part: Master Body Signals to Connect and Communicate for Business Success. As the speaker coach for the mainstage TED Conference since 2011, she has helped hundreds of world-class leaders, scientists, and visionaries embody their message with clarity, authenticity, and power. She has consulted with leaders in finance, tech, arts, and public service globally, and is known for her human-first approach to transformation and communication.

In this heartwarming and unexpected episode of Limitless, host Tracy Poizner welcomes Neil Smith, legendary NHL general manager and Stanley Cup champion with the New York Rangers. While hockey fans may know him as the GM who brought home the Cup in 1994, what unfolds here is a deeply personal, reflective, and inspiring conversation about personal development, emotional intelligence, and the power of relationships in life and leadership.

Neil shares stories from his upbringing in Don Mills, Toronto (a surprise connection to Tracy!), the early loss of his father, his decades-long pursuit of self-improvement, and how emotional awareness and a people-first attitude shaped his iconic career. You’ll also hear about the deals behind the scenes, including how he signed Wayne Gretzky, and why he believes personality—not just credentials—is the key to success.

• How Neil’s journey into self-development began with a book after his father’s death

• Why emotional intelligence and listening are underrated leadership tools

• His philosophy of “out-braining” the competition through self-awareness

• Making NHL trades: why it always started with what the other team needed

• Why helping others pays off, even when it seems like it doesn’t

• What it meant to bring the Stanley Cup to the New York Rangers after 54 years

• Signing Wayne Gretzky and meeting your childhood heroes

• The joy of making others happy—whether through autographs or game wins

• Masculine and feminine energies in leadership and emotional connection

• Why being remembered as a “good person” matters more than fame or fortune

“I never learned anything while I was talking. But if I waited and listened, I might learn a lot.”
“What I wanted most was to give joy to the fans. I thought about them every day.”

“If I can make someone happy by signing a picture, that’s a beautiful day.”

Neil Smith is an NHL executive best known for leading the New York Rangers to their legendary 1994 Stanley Cupvictory—ending a 54-year drought. Over his long career, he also served as GM for the New York Islanders, a broadcaster for ESPN, TSN, and more, and has remained a key figure in the hockey world. His career is marked not just by wins and accolades, but by a leadership style grounded in empathy, curiosity, and deep relational insight.

With a background in theoretical physics, he taught in the Master of Strategic Foresight program at Swinburne University for over 15 years. He is known for his work with the futures cone, integral theory, big history, and for introducing the concept of preposterous futures into formal foresight practice. His website, The Voroscope, is a treasure trove of futures thought, deep inquiry, and radical curiosity.

Dr. Voros shares stories from his time teaching futures studies, his career at Netscape during the tech boom, and his lifelong fascination with integrating science, metaphysics, and intelligence analysis. This episode is an invitation to expand your thinking, to challenge your assumptions, and to engage with the most vital question of all: what future do you dare to imagine?

Topics include:

• The architecture of big history: from hydrogen to humanity

• Why preposterous futures are essential to strategic thinking
