  • Ryan Singh - Happiness is an Illusion, The Paradox, Are Most People Happy?
    People say as soon as I accomplish this one thing in my life, then I'll be happy. But when you achieve it, there's always another thing, and another thing after that.

So, it comes down to the question "What is really happiness?", a lot of people are stumped. Listen to this episode for an entertaining segment! #halfwayto100

  • Tommy Sigman - Becoming an Orphan in High School, Writing a Book, Refusing to Be a Victi
    In this episode, we discuss Tommy’s story. As a child, he had been a victim of child abandonment that set him on a journey of neglect, instability, and emotional abuse that landed him into foster care at the age of 14. Realizing he didn’t want to be a “victim”, Tommy decided to flip the script. He started writing “The Greatest Advantage”, a novel about his life and how he overcame such a tough childhood and has sold over 8000 copies to this day. WRITING THE BOOK IN ONLY 3 MONTHS AT THE AGE OF 14, he was a published author at 15. In this powerful autobiography, he dives into the power of perspective when overcoming challenges, pushing readers to align themselves with the voice of truth as they navigate their passage to joy and productivity in spite of adversity. We all are born in different situations. It’s the choices we make that define who we will become in life.
