Joy Isn’t Chased, It’s Uncovered: Larry Kesslin on Inner Peace


Listen Later

Joy isn’t something you earn after success. It shows up when your life slows down enough for you to hear yourself again.

In this episode, Larry Kesslin shares how a month in rural Uganda reshaped his definition of “poverty,” happiness, and what really creates lasting peace. If you feel busy, accomplished, but still not satisfied, this conversation helps you reconnect with clarity, presence, and your deeper “why.” 

 About the Guest:

Larry Kesslin is an entrepreneur and coach who works with high-achieving, highly capable people who feel less fulfilled than they expected. He’s the author of The Joy Molecule and Success Redefined.

 Key Takeaways:
  • Use the “what, who, why” check: skills, values, and purpose must align for peace.

  • Treat crisis as a forced pause, not a failure. Presence starts the reset.

  • Notice when you’re “performing” instead of being yourself. That’s a joy leak.

  • Flip the model: be, do, have instead of have, do, be.

  • Find purpose through your deepest connections, not endless searching.
