Choose Your Arena, Fix the Scoreboard, and Start Winning on Your Terms—All in One Afternoon
Tired of feeling behind based on everyone else’s metrics and still wondering what your game even is?
Sick of chasing whatever pops up next—only to realize you’re competing in arenas that don’t matter to you?
Worried you’ll keep piling effort onto half-aligned projects and end up the reliable utility player instead of the MVP?

Play the Game is a concise do-it-together workshop + resource bundle that hands you a crystal-clear framework for defining—then dominating—the game that actually belongs to you.
A complete, pre-recorded, go-at-your-own-pace training with all the resources you need to unlock your potential.
Inside Play the Game you’ll learn to…
- Name the Specific Game You’re Playing
Pinpoint your true arena—industry, role, and playing style—so you stop splashing energy everywhere and focus where your native strengths create outsized leverage. - Know What Winning Really Looks Like
Translate vague hopes into a personal scoreboard with concrete, trackable metrics that tell you (and everyone else) exactly when you’re ahead. - Taste the Prize of Victory
Envision the tangible and emotional payoff of success—money, freedom, impact, legacy—so motivation stops feeling abstract and starts tasting inevitable. - Choose Your Suffering & Protect Your Sacred
Clarify the hard trade-offs you’ll embrace (late nights, public scrutiny, bold bets) and draw an unbreakable line around what stays non-negotiable—health, family, integrity—before the game gets messy.
Give me $25 and a focused afternoon and you’ll walk away with a repeatable system to declare, track, and advance your game—no personality quizzes, no endless journaling, no generic hustle gospel.
Meet your guide
I’m Jason Shen—three-time founder turned executive coach to venture-backed CEOs, bestselling authors, and creative misfits. For 15 years I played everyone else’s game—chasing titles, pivots, and shiny metrics that looked impressive but felt hollow. Then I built my own scoreboard, doubled down on my weird strengths, and transformed a wandering career into a six-figure coaching practice that fuels my family and my newborn daughter’s 5 a.m. feeding sessions.
I’ve run dozens of private sessions on this method for leaders at Stripe, Google, and high-growth startups. This is the first time the full framework is available to the public—and client load means it may be the last this year.
A live training on Tuesday June 10th at 5pm Eastern (replay will be included if you can't make it)

Frequently Asked Questions
When is this event happening?
Mining for Genius is a live workshop that takes place on Thursday May 8th from 5:30pm-6:30pm Eastern (2:30pm-3:30pm Pacific)
What if I can’t make it live?
Register anyway; you’ll receive the full replay, workbook, and a private Q&A thread where I answer follow-up questions for seven days.
Will this work for my field?
Yes. The framework extracts principles—how you solve problems, motivate yourself, and spot opportunities—so it applies whether you run a SaaS startup, film documentaries, or lead an engineering org.
How much time does the process take after the workshop?
You’ll learn my system and complete 1-2 Moment Minings during the live session. A focused 30-minute session to complete 3-4 more afterward is usually enough to get a V1 of your Genius Profile.
What if I’m bad at reflection or hate navel-gazing?
No problem. The exercises are concrete and time-boxed; they force evidence over introspection. Many analytical founders prefer this style.
Does this include templates or scripts?
Yes. You’ll get a fill-in-the-blank workbook—delivered as editable Google Docs plus the workshop replay, and the slides.
Do I need any supplies or special skills?
Just Zoom, a browser, and a few memories of moments you’re proud of. We’ll handle the rest. Optional: sticky notes if you like moving ideas around.
