A Class of Their Own Building a Life That Actually Feels Good
Ever feel like you're just making it up as you go?
You're not alone.
What happens when you stop chasing what you should do.
And start figuring out what actually makes you happy?
Dave Buonaguidi is back.
From career highs and failures to social media, money, and the strange stigma of just being happy, this conversation goes deep (with a few Pringles analogies thrown in).
It's as raw, funny and unexpectedly deep as the first.
We talk about midlife wake-up calls, creative risks, and why some people look like they want to punch you in the face when you say you’re happy.
From social media chaos to the 80 summers rule.
This one’s packed with the kind of insights that hit you days later.
We talk about:
🔹 Happiness guilt:Why people don’t trust it when you say you’re doing great
🔹 Purpose vs. ambition:
Using drive for something meaningful, not just more work.
🔹 Midlife wake-up calls:
When your priorities shift and everything looks different.
🔹 Creative satisfaction:
Why making things (even badly) matters more than success.
🔹 The 80 summers rule:
A perspective shift that might change everything.
It’s honest, funny, and packed with insights you’ll want to sit with.
No life hacks, no fluffy motivation, just a real conversation about what makes life feel good.
