    About this Episode

    According to Investopedia.com, a game changer is "...an individual or company that significantly alters the way things are done as a whole." This past week I've been contemplating the life and influence of Martin Luther King Jr.—the man he was, the world-altering difference he made, and especially HOW he made that difference and the incredible brave people who helped him change the game. Even when it comes to changing the world, no one is meant to do this alone.

    Here are a couple of interesting and informative links on Rosa Parks https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rosa-parks-ignites-bus-boycot and Claudette Colvin https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-43171799

    Thank you to James Kocian, for the use of his song "Another Perfect Day", made specifically for Happy Life Studios. Check out more of his amazing stuff here and tell him Happy Life Studios sent you.

    Episode 401: Pay Attention OSN05

    Super Bowl advertisers paid $7 MILLION dollars for a mere 30 seconds because they were trying to purchase something valuable. Something that's worth millions of dollars to them. What was this commodity they were buying? Hint; it's something everyone of us owns and even give away. Sometimes to the most insignificant of things. 
    Join OLD SCHOOL NERDS -- Stevo Hays and Joe "MoJOE" McCarthy and learn how to INVEST this precious commodity rather than simply SPEND it or worse, GIVE IT AWAY.

    Episode 399: Real Love Be Like MDA04

    Episode 399: Real Love Be Like MDA04

    Since the dawn of time, love has been the single greatest inspiration for poetry, music, drama, and art of all forms. Although "love" is commonly associated with romance and romantic feelings, that is just a minuscule reflection on the surface of a vast ocean. Listen for yourself and see that real love be like...

    Tune in as the MODERN DAY ALCHEMIST trio -- Kristen Brown, Stevo Hays, and MoJOE McCarthy -- dive deep to examine and illuminate the truth that real love is transformational, not transactional.

    Episode 399: Your Story Matters OSN04

    Episode 399: Your Story Matters OSN04

    Have you ever considered that your life story is uniquely yours? No one has had, nor will ever have, the exact journey through life that you do. Even "identical" twins do not live identical lives. And just think: the more rare something is, the more valuable it is, which makes each person's story priceless!
    So why do we often find ourselves wishing we were living someone else's life? How dangerous is the trap of comparison and judgment, and how do we avoid it?

    Join Old School Nerds Joe MoJOE McCarthy and I as we share memorable stories from our lives and encourage everyone to embrace, enjoy, and celebrate your own epic story.

    Episode 399: When The Debate Turns To Hate HL399

    Episode 399: When The Debate Turns To Hate HL399

    It's debate season, with the political race upon us. It's not the debate I mind, in fact debates are healthy. The Constitution as well as the Declaration of Independence were both created with debate. Healthy debate is healthy and makes us better. It's when the debate turns to hate that the glacial problems begin. Listen and see what we're talking about. You'll be Happy you did.

    Episode 398: Limelight; Bethanie Iverson LL03

    Episode 398: Limelight; Bethanie Iverson LL03

    HAPPYLIFE PREMIERE! Welcome to our 3rd episode of LIMELIGHT! Limelight podcasts are a product of Happy Life Studios. They are interviews of MODERN DAY HEROES from around the world that Happy Life Studios highlights and "puts on the stage."
    In this episode, we interview Bethanie Iverson, a modern day hero. People who work with children - day care or nursery, etc. - are often overlooked, invisible. Unfortunately not many would see them as heroes, unless they try doing it for a week themselves. Well, Bethany has been working with children for many, many years, and it's not just that, it's all the other things she does while working with these amazing children that make her such a hero. Listen, be encouraged, and share with anyone else you know who doesn't see themselves for the hero they are.

    The songs we used in this episode are "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters and "Everyday Superhero" by Smash Mouth. We don't own the rights to either.

    Episode 398: Happy Rocket HL398

    Episode 398: Happy Rocket HL398

    We call it getting lost in the moment, but we really should call it getting found in the moment instead. Living in the moment is essential to our mental health. It's a major key to living a Happy Life. Like Calm.com says "How often do you find yourself worrying about the future or reliving the past, oblivious to the beauty of now? In a world filled with distractions, finding presence—a state of being deeply attuned to the present moment—has never been more important for wellbeing." It's also one  of the best ways to keep things like stress, regret, guilt, anxiety and more at bay. Just like Eckhart Tolle says "Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence."
    So hop on this Happy Rocket flight and find out with us what living in the moment (or should I say getting found in the moment?) is like and how to get there. Good news is, it's not rocket science. It's a trip. One that anyone who takes the time, can take.

    https://www.calm.com/blog/how-to-be-more-present#:~:text=How%20often%20do%20you%20find,been%20more%20important%20for%20wellbeing.

    The movie clips we used were from "Hidden Figures".
