Host Jeremy C. Park talks with comedian, speaker, podcaster, and writer, Paul Ollinger, who reflects on his time in Memphis at Rhodes College, how he leveraged success in the tech industry to help launch his career in comedy, and what led him to start a podcast and write his new book, "Reasonably Happy: The Skeptics Guide to Achievable Contentment."

During the interview, Paul shares how he was recruited to play football at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, and how his time at the school led to lifelong friendships.

He touches on those early days at Facebook and the power of social media, along with how it has and continues to evolve to create opportunities for creatives to connect with audiences around the world. Paul then talks about some of his favorite moments as a nationally-touring comedian who has done over 1,000 shows. He discusses his podcast, recently rebranded from the Crazy Money podcast to Reasonably Happy, and shares which interview stands out as a personal favorite among the hundreds of episodes, along with insightful takeaways from a recent guest. Paul wraps up highlighting his new book, which is now available on Amazon, "Reasonably Happy: The Skeptics Guide to Achievable Contentment." The book is a collection of thought-provoking, funny, and sometimes touching essays about the sources of true fulfillment in life. He shares some of the key takeaways and lessons he hopes readers take away from the book, and how he hopes it will help make a difference in redefining the connection between money, happiness, work, and meaning in life.
