    In this podcast, Kim Strobel, upon the release of her new book discusses why she wrote "Teach Happy," what she learned from the process, and what she hopes the impact will be in the future! Here are a few quotes from the book!

    "When we continually work to embody the best version of ourselves, we’re able to tap into more of our potential, feel increased confidence, and experience more positive feelings."

    "Being happy doesn’t mean we don’t have bad days or feel sad sometimes; instead, it means we feel positive emotions more often than we do heavy ones."

    "Deciding that your happiness counts makes you better at your job, better for your family, and, most importantly, better for yourself."

a talk with Scott ,

Love listening to this podcast!

The conversations on this podcast are thought provoking and a lot of fun to listen to. George is able to lighten the tone with his soundboard sounds or with a comment about sports or pop culture. I really enjoy listening and learning from this podcast.
