#260 Rahshea Cardiff: From Starbucks to Startups—Serving Joy at Work – Part Two


Listen Later

Part Two. Joy, but make it scalable.

After opening up about grief, growth, and career pivots in Part One, Rahshea Cardiff is back—this time to talk about the business side of happiness. As VP of Partnerships at Happy Companies, she’s building tech-driven tools that actually help humans (imagine that!). From burnout prevention to culture repair, this episode explores her vision for making workplaces feel a little less like work.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

Unbecoming to Become: Shedding What Isn’t You

"Maybe it’s not about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t who you really are."

The Power of Staying True to Yourself

“I was told I needed to change who I was… to fit into somebody’s picture of what they thought I should be. Instead, I learned to step into who I am and be proud of it.”

Unlocking a Team’s Full Potential through Behavioral Insights

“With Happy, leaders get a snapshot of every team member—how they’re wired, their strengths, their energy drivers, and what drains them.”

Putting a Personalized Coach at Every Leader’s Fingertips

“Happy’s platform essentially puts a one-on-one coach at the fingertips of every leader and employee, including self-coaching to improve communication and motivation.”

Human Stories and Tech-Driven Scalability: A Perfect Balance

“Technology is terrific for us at Happy; it provides the behavioral insight, but it’s that human coach who can tell the story, make it personal, and take it to the next level of impact.”
