Bryanna Royal on Daring to Be Different & The Power of Fun

In this episode, I’m talking to best-selling author, Sharon Bala. We explore letting go of traditional measures of achievement, developing resilience to rejection, why community and solitude are equally important and helpful tips for aspiring writers (or anyone venturing into something new).

This week I’m talking to entrepreneur, author and global public speaker, Rich Mulholland. Rich teaches me all about gamifying life. He describes how to design small, finite games for yourself, how to set your own victory conditions and how to track your progress. Our discussion leads to an “ah-ha” moment for me about why the fulfillment equation practice works so well. As Rich says, “it’s freedom in a framework”!

In this week’s episode, I have the wonderful opportunity to chat with Dr. Lawrence Loh. Lawrence is a public health and physician leader, a lifelong learner and a self-described extreme extrovert. Our conversation focuses on connection; both with others and with ourselves. When it comes to connecting with others, Lawrence offers some simple tips. We also talk about rebalancing after crisis fatigue, getting in touch with your inner voice and defining your own identity. And we bond over our mutual belief that most things work out and that most people are good. As Lawrence says, “it’s just mentally easier” to believe that!
