One quote. One video. One question. One brand new word. Listen, because you don't want to miss any of them. What happens when you take a Happy Life Studios video and mix it with a quote from MoJoe Studio? You get a question that leads us to the invention of a brand new word - Flawsome. That's what you are. We all have flaws which is good. Flaws are the place that real love lands...and that's awesome, just like you. Making you flawsome. Here are some of the quotes we used in this episode. “We are...

Happy Memorial Day Life! Here is an interview we did with Technical Sergeant Cameron Miller to help you celebrate it. You are going to love what Cameron has to say.

HAPPYLIFE PREMIERE! Welcome to our 2nd episode of LIMELIGHT! Limelight podcasts are a product of Happy Life Studios.

In this episode, we interview Lauren Peever, a modern day hero and coffee shop owner. She's a hero, and not because she gives people coffee every day (even though some will say that's a great start), but because of how she does it. Listen, be encouraged, and s...

Your Happy is closer than it appears. If you don't see it, you just might be looking in the wrong mirror. After all, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see" - Henry David Thoreau.

“You have no clue what is going on with me, you just don’t understand what I’m going through!” If you have been on the receiving end of a statement like that from an emotional teenager, then you know how much raw emotion and frustration can come with those words. That sounds like an over-exaggerated statement spoken out of severe frustration, but if your adolescent child is saying that to you, it is probably one of the most truthful things that has come out of their mouths since they turned thir...

Soon after releasing last week's episode, based on Shakespeare's famous saying that "All the world's a stage", I received a message from fellow Happy Lifer, Joe McCarthy of MoJoe.Studio (one of our brother studios in Southern California). He responded with a saying from Konstantin Stanislavski: "There are no small roles, only small actors.” Instantly, I knew I wanted to do a Part 2 based on this provocative quote. I invited Joe to record this sequel with me, because that quote describes how Joe ...

William Shakespeare said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." Many long to be the star of that stage, but there is a weight the headliner carries that the other players on the stage do not carry. It's a weight that can drain us of our Happy. What if we made something bigger than us the superstar instead? What if we made Love the star of the stage? What if Happy was the headliner of our show and we were simply background singers on this stage so much bigger than us...

Especially something to hope for, because Happy and Hope are twins. They are inseparable. You can't have one without the other.

If you're struggling with you, stop focusing on you. That's like putting the cart in front of the horse. If you need encouragement, encourage someone else. If you want financial help in your life, find someone else that has a financial need and help them. That will get the horse back in front of the cart again. When we focus on being Happy, we are focusing on something we don't have, but when we focus on helping others, Happy will naturally follow. Helping is the horse and Happy is the cart. Fin...
