The Currency of Happiness

Most people don't feel stuck with money because they're lazy or irresponsible. They feel stuck because they're overwhelmed. They don't know where to start, they're afraid of making the wrong move, and the longer they wait, the heavier it feels. Ryan Gaunce is a financial advisor and wealth planner who helps people build plans that actually fit their real lives. He's spent years sitting across from capable, intelligent people who are avoiding their finances, and he understands exactly why. And...

Most people think joy is something you find when life finally gets easier. Steve Moser learned it's something you choose when it doesn't. Steve has walked through betrayal, single parenthood, rebuilding, remarriage, and opening his home to children who needed one. In this conversation, he doesn't talk about joy as a feeling or a mood. He talks about it as a decision, made repeatedly, in the middle of seasons that had every reason to produce bitterness instead. Andrew and Steve talk through wh...

More kids are anxious, overwhelmed, and struggling than ever before. But what if the real issue isn't just what's happening to our kids, it's what's happening around them? Dr. Kene Ezeibe is a child and adolescent mental health physician who has spent over a decade working with kids, teens, and families. He doesn't just see the symptoms. He sees the patterns behind them. And in this conversation, he brings those patterns into the open. Andrew and Dr. Kene talk through what's actually getting ...

In this episode of The Currency of Happiness, we explore the tension between hustle culture, high performance, and mental health. Many people chase success, believing achievement will fix what feels broken inside. But the reality is often the opposite. Success has a way of amplifying what is already there. Andrew sits down with Garret Cook, a high-performing real estate professional and leader at eXp Realty, who has been open about his personal journey navigating mental health while building ...

In this episode of The Currency of Happiness, we explore why so many people across cultures are searching again for meaning, purpose, and something solid to build their lives on. There is a growing spiritual hunger happening right now. More people are asking deeper questions about faith, identity, healing, and what actually lasts. Andrew sits down with Jachin Mullen, Lead Pastor of Home Church, to talk about what he is seeing on the front lines of that search. As a leader focused on formation...

Leadership is easy in theory. It gets complicated in real life. In this episode I sit down with Chad Krahn, Red Deer City Councillor, husband, father, and author of Welcome to Monday. We talk about the real weight of responsibility, the challenge of making decisions when resources are limited, and what stewardship looks like when every option has tradeoffs. Chad shares openly about the parts of leadership most people never see, how family and identity shape his decisions, and why excellence m...

Leadership looks like influence from the outside. But real leadership carries weight, responsibility, and consequences. Dr. Mike Bolton advises companies, sits on boards, coaches leaders, and helps shape organizations around the world. From the outside, that looks like success. But leadership always carries weight. In this conversation, we talk about responsibility, stewardship, the long arc of calling and what it means to build something that actually lasts. We also go back to Mike’s early...

In this episode of The Currency of Happiness, we explore what it really looks like to build legacy through real estate, family, leadership, and influence. Most people meet Bryce Kander and see the realtor, the investor, and the content creator. What they don’t see is the eighteen year old who entered real estate early, trained by one of the best mentors possible, his mom, and the leader who is now helping shape how an entire generation approaches real estate investing. Andrew sits down with B...

In this episode of The Currency of Happiness, we explore faith, formation, creativity, and the responsibility that comes with helping millions engage with Scripture. Most people read the Bible. Very few people carry the weight of helping others experience it in a way that feels alive, grounded, and faithful to the text. Andrew sits down with Steven Schwartz, a Biblical teacher at Home Church and the Artistic Director for The Chosen, one of the most widely watched faith based series in the wor...

In this episode of The Currency of Happiness, we explore what it really means to heal, become whole and rebuild a life after everything falls apart. Some people rebuild their lives once. Garth Mitchell‑Epp and Melanie Mitchell‑Epp rebuilt theirs twice. First, individually, after seasons of divorce, identity loss, and deep brokenness. Then together as a blended family rooted in restoration, faith, and purpose. This conversation is living proof that healing is possible, wholeness is possible, a...

The Currency of Happiness is a podcast about personal finance, leadership and building a meaningful life without burning out or losing what matters most. Most people think happiness is something you chase, buy or earn once life finally goes your way. But what if happiness isn’t a feeling at all? What if happiness is a currency, something you build, protect, invest in and multiply through the systems you live by? This podcast is for people balancing career, leadership, family and ambition who ...
