The Business Of Happiness
When you feel good, you do good. In business and in life, we can do better and have a greater impact on the lives of others when we align our intentions and our actions with inner fulfillment. The Business of Happiness Podcast ignites the conversation of redefining our modern definition of success and how to find happiness in our work and, ultimately, in our lives. I am Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy, and in the first 2 decades of my career, I reveled in culturally recognizable success and drowned myself in personal turmoil and depression. Since then, I have embarked on a quest for greater purpose and joy in business and in life. Welcome to the conversation as each week we discuss together, and with successful business owners and leaders, how to strive for happiness. Together we will adventure to discover the secrets to finding true purpose and impact and to redefine our understanding of success. This is The Business of Happiness.
