George Kao is a business coach who helps sensitive, heart-led soulpreneurs — coaches, healers, and mission-driven creators — grow ethical, sustainable businesses without hype, pressure, or self-betrayal.
Short bio (about 70 words)
George Kao has been a business coach since 2009, guiding sensitive, heart-led soulpreneurs to grow their businesses without manipulation or burnout. A peer-mentor rather than a guru, he teaches from beside, not above — pairing practical structure (simple frameworks, systems, real examples) with the calm, dignity, and steadiness his clients value most. He shares a vast free library at GeorgeKao.com, alongside five books and more than 20 courses.
Long bio (about 140 words)
Since 2009, George Kao has been a business coach for soulpreneurs — the sensitive, heart-led people (often teachers, healers, Ph.D.s, and consultants) who carry deep wisdom but wrestle with the ‘how’ of earning a living without losing themselves. His premise runs against much of the business world: you can build an ethical, sustainable business without manipulation, hype, or self-betrayal. George teaches from beside, not above — a peer-mentor who pairs practical structure (frameworks, systems, real examples) with a calm, steady presence that clients say helps them as much as the marketing advice itself. His work spans authentic marketing, joyful productivity, and healthy money (pricing from ‘enoughness,’ not hype). He shares a vast free library — 2,000+ videos and hundreds of articles — alongside five books and more than 20 courses. Now semi-retired, he lives in Mexico with his wife and their dog.

Topics George loves to explore
Any of these makes for a warm, practical conversation, and he’s happy to tailor one to your audience.
Authentic Business
Aligning meaningful work, genuine connection and sustainable success, so your business becomes an expression of who you are.
Authentic Marketing
Marketing as nurturing, genuine connection instead of hype or pressure, and why that works better over time.
Joyful Productivity
Making your calendar and to-do list your supportive assistants, not your boss — a calmer, kinder way to get the right things done.
Healthy Money
Reaching your reasonable financial goals free from hype, rooted in your own definition of “enough.”
Soulpreneurs and AI
How heart-centered entrepreneurs can work with AI as a creative, integrity-based partner, without losing their humanity.
The 111 Formula
George’s masterclass framework for building an authentic business that works.
Questions to get the conversation going
A starting point, in George’s own words. Use them as they are, or riff from them.
- 1You talk a lot about “authentic business.” How do you define that, and how is it different from business as usual?
- 2What about “authentic marketing”? How is that different from how marketing is usually done?
- 3You’ve pioneered the idea of “joyful productivity.” What is it, and what about it feels especially alive for you right now?
- 4If you could teach a masterclass on building an authentic business, what would it be about? (George can walk through his 111 Formula in as much detail as you have time for.)
- 5And feel free to ask George anything else. No question is off-limits. 😊
