In this conversation, Andrew Cannon, co-founder of EQJOY, joins Danielle to challenge conventional thinking about happiness and success. Drawing from his personal journey and decades in consumer psychology, Andrew explains why discomfort is essential for growth, how emotional intelligence can transform youth development, and why joy is found in the journey—not the destination. They also explore practical ways to cultivate “micro moments” of joy, strengthen resilience, and build communities that help both adults and children thrive.
