Rich Mulholland on Gamifying Your Life
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”!
Lawrence Loh on Connecting with Others and Your Inner Voice
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!

We then take our time building Manish’s equation, which is fantastic because it produces many interesting and insightful discussions around how to put family first, how to set up boundaries around work, why nature is so central to our wellbeing and how food can be a source of creativity and connection.
Manish Raizada on Uncovering Your Purpose
Wouldn’t it be incredible to have a purpose as heroic as that of Manish Raizada? However, the reality is that the world would be a boring place if we all had exactly the same purpose.

Manish discusses many of the probing questions he’s found successful in helping people discover their unique gift. In his experience, this life-changing reflection takes very little time at all!
