Spirit of EQ

Jeff East and Eric Pennington have been co-hosting Spirit of EQ for seven seasons, releasing new episodes on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The format is conversational and collaborative: two guys who clearly enjoy each other's company talking through how emotional intelligence shows up in daily life and professional settings. They cover a wide range of ground, from how understanding your own emotions changes workplace dynamics to how EQ affects financial decisions, relationships, and responses to trauma. The dual-host setup creates a natural back-and-forth that keeps episodes from feeling like monologues. East and Pennington challenge each other's assumptions, share their own stumbles, and bring in guest speakers who add depth on topics like corporate wellness programs, leadership development, and emotional health recovery. The show is designed for individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations who want to realize their full potential through emotional intelligence, and that broad scope means you will find episodes relevant to almost any context. The tone is warm and encouraging without tipping into the motivational speaker territory where everything sounds great but nothing is specific. Their long run as co-hosts means they have developed a genuine rhythm and chemistry that makes even dense topics feel accessible. Episodes run at a comfortable length for a commute or a workout, and the semimonthly schedule gives you time to actually process what you heard before the next one drops.
