George Kao is an Authentic Business Coach who helps sensitive, heart-led soulpreneurs — coaches, healers, and mission-driven creators — grow ethical, sustainable businesses without hype, pressure, or self-betrayal.
George Kao has been an Authentic 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 genuinely practical structure (simple frameworks, systems, real examples) with the calm, dignity, and steadiness his clients call the real gift. He shares a vast free library at GeorgeKao.com, alongside several books and 20+ living courses.
Since 2009, George Kao has been an Authentic 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 is quietly countercultural: you can build an ethical, sustainable business without manipulation, hype, or self-betrayal. George teaches from beside, not above — a peer-mentor who pairs genuinely practical structure (frameworks, systems, real examples) with the calm, dignity, and nervous-system steadiness that clients describe as the true service beneath the marketing. 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 several books and 20+ living courses, and lives in Lakeside Chapala, Mexico, with his wife Kim and their dog Buddy.

- 3You’ve pioneered the idea of ‘joyful productivity’ — what is it, and what part of it feels especially alive for you right now?
