I’m here for you whether you want to amplify happiness or salvage a tiny spark. In this solo episode, I share seven key ideas around the pursuit of happiness, including why we may not truly know what brings us the most joy, and why using happiness as a metric can be limiting. Through stories like the housefly metaphor and reflections on intuition, expectations, and energy, I share insights on amplifying happiness, taking accountability, and letting go of blame. I discuss the role of patience, purpose, belief, and persistence—drawing on personal experiences, the 26th Gene Key, and lessons from unexpected places. This episode invites listeners to rethink happiness as a practice grounded in purpose, trust, and intentional action. Featuring Gene Keys by Richard Rudd.
