The Joy Molecule: Why Success Feels Empty and How Inner Peace Creates True Abundance

Описание: Looking for real stories that lift you up? Welcome to Inspire & Impact—the podcast where purpose meets perseverance. This is where transformation begins, and your story continues.

In this episode, host Daniel Rosenstein sits down with Larry Kesslin—speaker, author, entrepreneur of 30+ years, and creator of the powerful framework called The Joy Molecule.

Larry’s worldview was transformed through a life-changing trip to Uganda, where he brought computers to rural villages… and discovered something unexpected: many people with far less materially were more joyful, more connected, and more at peace than people he knew back in the U.S.

Together, Daniel and Larry explore:
✅ Why “having more” doesn’t automatically create happiness
✅ The difference between happiness (circumstance-based) vs joy (inner knowing)
✅ Larry’s definition of joy: knowing What you are, Who you are, and Why you’re here
✅ Why deep relationships and community matter more than status or stuff
✅ The “20-something rule”: how we’re trained from birth to 20—and why midlife triggers identity questions
✅ How comparison destroys “enoughness,” and what to do instead
✅ Why many self-help approaches focus on changing the outside… when real change is an inside job
✅ Practical first steps for anyone feeling stuck, behind, or disconnected

Larry also shares real stories—from supporting a young man he met in Uganda (Armstrong), to insights from challenged athletes, to the deeper reason he wrote The Joy Molecule (and why it’s part of a bigger series—The Identity Illusion, Redirecting Capital, and The Enough Academy).

If you’ve ever thought:

“I did everything I was supposed to… so why do I still feel something is missing?”

“I’m successful, but not fulfilled.”

“I don’t feel like I’m enough.”
…this conversation will hit home.
