“The thief of happiness is comparison.”  

Feeling joy can be as simple as a shared smile or an empowering tune. This episode is not just about the big revelations; it's a celebration of life's little moments that collectively weave the tapestry of our well-being. 

In this episode, I dive into the theme of happiness and gratitude with guest and friend Kevin Headley, a seasoned sales and marketing executive with a history at top brands like Sub-Zero and Whirlpool. We laugh and share wisdom as we discuss the detrimental effects of ‘comparison’ on joy, the simplicity of contentment, and the importance of managing expectations in relationships. Kevin's positive outlook and the value of savoring the present moment are highlighted, as well as the role of conscious media consumption in nurturing our spirits. The episode leaves listeners with practical tips and the contagious nature of smiles for a happier life. https://youtu.be/iAnlOy11dpY
