    The Power of the One Degree Shift
    Jan 16 2026

    In this debut episode of The One Degree Effect, High Performance Coaches Paul Melella and Gina, pull back the curtain on the "silent killer" of success and happiness.

    The Drift.

    Even when life looks perfect on the outside, small misalignments can lead us miles away from our intended destination. Paul and Gina share their personal journey of moving from a season of "busyness as a mask" to a life of intentional alignment.

    They discuss why your professional production is tied to your vibrational frequency at home and offer practical "one degree" shifts to help you reclaim your marriage, your business, and your peace of mind.

    Gina and Paul Share:

    • Understanding the Drift: How life doesn't fall apart overnight, but through small, unnoticed misalignments.
    • Vibrational Frequency: Why a disconnected marriage directly impacts your ability to close deals and lead in business.
    • The Power of the Pause: Learning to respond with calm intentionality rather than reacting from resentment or stress.
    • The "One Degree" Playbook: Practical routines including gratitude walks, "Tea Time," and treating your spouse like your number one client.
    • Audit Your Life: Two simple exercises to identify where you are avoiding hard conversations or going through the motions.

    Welcome to The One Degree Effect Podcast!
    Jan 7 2026

    Change doesn't require a massive overhaul. It happens in the small, intentional shifts we make every day!

    In this Introductory episode, hosts Paul and Gina Melella introduce The One Degree Effect, a podcast dedicated to "doing what matters just a little bit better."

    This is the only podcast you need if you want to improve 1° at a time. And make it stick.

    Drawing from 30 years of marriage, raising a family, and building (and rebuilding) seven-figure businesses, Paul and Gina share why they are moving away from the pursuit of perfection and toward the power of multi-dimensional success.

    Whether it's your marriage, fitness, faith, or business, this show is a transparent look at how tiny adjustments, "One Degree at a Time" compound to create a completely different life for you and your family.

    Build the business you want.

    Create the family you deserve.

    If you're new to the 1° Effect Podcast you'll learn
    • The Power of One Degree: Real transformation comes from small, repeated shifts rather than rare, "big moments."
    • Action Before Alignment: The hosts debunk the myth of waiting for the "perfect season," noting that clarity and alignment follow action.
