Thanksgiving is an amazing Holiday. Unfortunately, many see it as a Holiday to skip over. For some, it's just the Holiday to get the "real" Holiday season started (Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years). Thanksgiving is the Godfather of The Holidays. Being thankful is not only what makes all the other Holidays so great, it's what makes life great. When our thankful level is up, our Happy level is up. Tune in to this brand new podcast we are hosting called the MODERN DAY ALCHEMISTS with Kristen ...

Did you know that you could actually create a Thanksgiving dinner by using nothing but canned food? Believe it or not, humans have been canning food since the 18th century, thanks to Napoleon Bonaparte. We can food to make it last longer, and stop it from spoiling. However, when we "can" thanksgiving, kindness, goodness or happy because we think we have a limited supply, THAT’S what limits our supply. Listen and hear what we're talking about. You'll be Happy you did (not to mention you'll find o...

Happy World Kindness Day! Did you know that was even a thing? I didn't until my wife told me about it. It's celebrated every year on November the 13th and has been around now for 25 years. I used to think kindness was like niceness, but I had no idea how powerful kindness really is. As you know, we end every episode with Jimmy Durante singing "Make someone Happy and you will be Happy too" but did you know there is science that actually proves that? Truth is, kindness is more like The Rock than i...

Have you ever felt invisible, ignored or invaluable because someone with more fame, clout or title was in the room? It seems that the truth given these days is judged more by the people who give it than by the power or merit of the message itself. If this is you, don't feel bad, this is nothing new. Many great minds in history, including but certainly not limited to, Copernicus, Galileo, Picasso, Einstein, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon, were ostracized, banned, vilified, excommunica...

When it comes to exploring, many will say "Why would I need to explore? I have everything I need." But as long time Happy Lifer, Cameron Miller said in this episode, "When you're not exploring, you're not finding better options. You're not finding better ways of living." It's so true! There is so much talk of problems these days, but you don't hear much about solutions or how to find them. In this episode. Cameron gives us a key to finding solutions to our problems that not many try, but yet it'...

Taking it easy isn't just about taking more naps. In fact, taking it easy on yourself is not only essential to living the life you love and loving the life you live, it is detrimental to your health if you don't do it. You may be surprised at what happens to someone when they don't take it easy on themselves. Listen and see how detrimental being hard on yourself can really be as well as how to avoid doing it or fixing it if you're already on that path. The songs we use in this episode are "Ameri...

Life is meant to be lived and life is meant to be loved, but it can seem impossible when life is difficult. Even so, life was never meant to just be survived, yet so many find themselves just getting by. Living for the weekend. Waiting for something good to happen. Do you live the life you love? Do you love the life you live? When life gets unbearable, when the blues come, sometimes the best thing you can do, is sing...

The opposite of Artificial Intelligence is Natural Stupidity. Being stupid is our choice and no one else's, so why do we choose to be stupid? As children we have an insatiable hunger to know things. It seems kids want to know everything. Then we get older, instead of pursuing knowledge, we just copy other people's thoughts and stop thinking for ourselves. Truth is, knowledge comes from reading and studying as well as experiences. This means that our knowledge is just that...OURS. Sometimes peopl...

Merry 4th of July Eve! Join us, in this episode, as we celebrate our freedom, this freedom day (or should I say freedom days)? Racism is such a hot, important, dominant topic today. And even though The United States of America passed The Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery 160 years ago, many slaves were never informed and therefore continued to live in servitude. Some for another two and a half years, believe it or not! The same is true today. Even though we are free, many continue to ...

It’s been said that moms get flowers, but dads get guilt trips. Often, fathers book those trips themselves when they go cruising down memory lane, only to be reminded of the remorse, regrets, and “shoulda’s.” With that in mind, Stevo and MoJOE have teamed up to remind dads of their FLAWsomeness. Fathers have their flaws to be sure (who doesn’t?), but that does not diminish their awesomeness. Flaws only enhance it, making Dads Flawsome!
