**From Bombs to Boardrooms: Dr. Pelè on Profitable Happiness and Resilient Joy**

How does a kid growing up in a war zone become a bestselling author, Ph.D., musician, and corporate consultant in the U.S.? Better yet — how the hell does he stay happy, grounded, and thriving after all that?

In this soulful, surprising, and straight-up inspiring episode, Dr. John sits down with Dr. Pelè Raymond — a man who took unimaginable trauma and alchemized it into purpose, passion, and *Profitable Happiness*.

We get into:
- How music and storytelling helped him survive bombings — and still fuel his joy today  
- Why chasing success without happiness is like climbing a mountain with no summit  
- How positive psychology can help you build *resilient joy* in a world that loves to knock you down  
- The mindset flips men need to stop suffering in silence and start living on purpose  
- How *Profitable Happiness* became a movement — and how you can apply it to your life and work  
- What it really means to evolve into a man with power *and* peace

**About Dr. Pelè:**  
Born in a war-torn African refugee village and named after the greatest soccer player of all time, Dr. Pelè grew up with bombs falling, fear everywhere, and a mother who sang to chase away the darkness. That emotional survival toolkit became his superpower.

Now he’s the author of *five* books, a Ph.D. in management, host of the *Profitable Happiness Podcast*, a singer-songwriter, and an international speaker helping people and businesses thrive — where *purpose meets profit* and happiness is non-negotiable.
