MM006 – Luke Iorio & Michelle Gielan: Re-Broadcasting Happiness…And For Good Reason


Listen Later

Rewind the tape back! Today’s Meaningful Moment is a bit different because we’re rebroadcasting one of our most popular podcasts, featuring Michelle Gielan! It’s fitting since the former CBS news anchor turned positive psychology researcher knows a thing or two about broadcasting (not just through the airwaves, but through the power of our energy, presence, and happiness).  

After you take a listen to the interview, you can catch Michelle and Luke in action at the World Happiness Summit, a three-day journey bringing together the world’s leading experts in the science of happiness, as well as activists, philosophers, psychologists and personalities from different disciplines, cultures, and generations. Smile! It’s all happening March 17th – 19th in bright and sunny Miami. You won’t want to miss it!

But first, a little more about Michelle…

She is the Founder of the Institute for Applied Positive Research, Executive Producer of The Happiness Advantage Special on PBS, a featured professor in Oprah’s Happiness course, and to top it off, has partnered with Arianna Huffington to study how transformative stories fuel success. We’re diving into her latest book, Broadcasting Happiness, so don’t switch that dial. Instead turn the volume way up on your life. Here’s exactly how… 

Key takeaways:

  • Watching the morning news? Why that might not be such a great idea and how it can deter your entire day.
  • Tell me something good…or bad. The keys to telling a story or delivering an announcement that will leave your captive audience proactive, not reactive are revealed.
  • Is the glass half full or empty? What if the glass is just a glass…nothing more, nothing less? Learn how to see the world through a more optimistic lens.
  • Got a “Debbie Downer” in your life? It ain’t easy to deal with a naysayer, but science says you CAN actually inspire a change in them…for the better.
  • It just isn’t fair. Wallowing in what “should be”? Life doesn’t always go your way, so check out the daily habit to adopt to rise above.

Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. That’s how we Live Lead and Play!
