Date: December 16, 2025
Guest: Craig Siegel – bestselling author, speaker, coach, founder of CLS Experience

Episode Overview

In this transformative episode, Jessica Zweig sits down with her longtime friend and fellow “spiritual hustler” Craig Siegel. Known for his remarkable reinvention from Wall Street trader to motivational thought leader, Craig dives into how Kabbalah, quantum thinking, and deep certainty have shaped every aspect of his spiritual and business journeys. Together, they explore practical Kabbalah, navigating masculine and feminine energies in leadership, and the art of authentically “co-creating the New Earth.”

This expansive conversation is equal parts tactical and soulful, offering listeners a rare inside look at Craig’s spiritual practices, business framework, and relationship wisdom. With plenty of vulnerability, humor, and actionable insight, this episode is a portal from the “1% reality” of limitation to what Kabbalah calls the “99% reality” of infinite possibility.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Power of Certainty and Spiritual Hustle

• Certainty vs. Doubt: (07:27)
  • Craig explains his spiritual focus: replacing doubt and fear (the “God of the physical world”) with deep, unwavering certainty in the Creator/source.
  • Quote: “I want to replace doubt with certainty, which is a co-creation with Creator… Every time we worry about it, we’re subscribing to the other God of the physical world, which is an illusion.” – Craig Siegel (08:11)
• Spiritual Hustle Defined:
  • Hustling is reframed as soulful striving—moving towards love, meaning, and service, not lack or survival. (01:01)

2. Craig’s Journey: Reinventing from Wall Street to Spiritual Teacher

• Gladiator in the Wrong Arena: (09:20)
  • Craig candidly recounts his 13-year Wall Street career, reaching the pinnacle yet feeling soul-contracting and misaligned.
  • Quote: “How long can you do something that’s misaligned before you start to burn out? I wasn’t growing upwards, I was growing sideways.” (10:49)
• Catalyst for Change: (12:01)
  • After personal struggles and his father’s cancer diagnosis, running marathons became a tool for expansion and personal growth.
• Launching CLS: (13:44)
  • Craig dove “all-in” on creating CLS, before external proof or following, citing conviction and clarity—not credentials—as keys to explosive brand growth.

3. Cracking the Code to Alignment, Magnetism & Rapid Growth

• Framework: AIM (Authority, Influence, Magnetism): (15:10)
  • Craig lays out how positioning, conviction, and relentless outreach (even with zero following) got icons like Mark Cuban on his podcast.
  • Quote: “First you activate your conviction and then everything begins to show up. And that’s a spiritual thing.” (16:14)
• Embodiment & Faith:
  • The practice of embodying your highest self, rather than “faking it,” is discussed as a spiritual and practical key to success. (17:35)

4. Kabbalah as Spiritual Technology

• Kabbalah 101: (20:30)
  • Not a religion, but a framework and “technology” for tapping the limitless universal laws that govern abundance, flow, and quantum reality.
  • Quote: “Quantum physics, this ancient wisdom of Kabbalah, gives you a practical framework… you’re not playing upon the physical reality’s rules anymore. You’re tapped into something bigger.” – Craig (21:05)
• How Craig Discovered Kabbalah: (19:12)
  • Chance attendance at a New Moon session led to a full-on devotion, mentor role, and waking up to a totally different level of spiritual practice.
• Universal Laws in Practice:
  • Non-Reactivity: Responding (not reacting) to chaos opens the channel for miracles. (22:07-25:14)
  • Certainty Beyond Logic: Exercising faith most powerfully when the ‘how’ is unclear.
  • Sovereignty & Agency: Every human can choose their response, shape their reality, and direct blessings. (25:33)

5. Quantum Reality, Infinite Potential & the Role of Consciousness

• The 1% vs. 99% Reality: (31:50)
  • Kabbalah teaches most people live in just the 1% (visible, limited) reality; the deep magic is in the unseen spiritual 99%.
• Consciousness as Limitless:
  • Our only true limit is our own self-concept. Strengthening connection to Source unleashes endless possibility.

6. Daily Spiritual Practices & Overcoming the Ego

• Craig’s Spiritual Hygiene: (39:00)
  • Daily scanning the Zohar, Kabbalah study, and regular rituals (Shabbat) are non-negotiable.
  • Dealing with negative thoughts and ego (“the opponent”): seeing resistance as a positive force to be overcome, a sign you have ‘light to reveal.’ (41:39)
  • Quote: “If the opponent’s not after you, that’s a problem. You should be flattered by your opponent because that means you have a lot of light to reveal.” (42:17)

7. The Divine Dance: Masculine & Feminine in Business and Life

• To-Do List vs. To-Be List: (48:11)
  • The masculine is ‘to do’; the feminine is ‘to be’. Harmonizing both is essential for entrepreneurs, especially women reclaiming worth beyond achievement.
• Supporting Masculine Vulnerability: (49:29-52:22)
  • Safe spaces and non-judgmental support help men open their hearts.
  • Advice for women: Don’t “coach” your partner—be present and supportive; presence matters more than fixing.

8. Expanding Capacity: Marathons as Metaphor for Life & Business

• Running as Spiritual Discipline: (56:10)
  • Marathons offer Craig a non-business arena for growth, resilience, and receiving divine downloads.
  • Quote: “I do my best connecting on runs. On a long run, I’m getting downloads from creator. It’s the most productive thing ever.” (58:16)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Heart-Centered Leadership:
  • “If you open your heart and even if the conversation doesn’t go 100% the way you’d have liked, if you open up, your heart can’t lose one way or the other.” – Craig (44:00)
