About this listen

Peter Samuelson has produced blockbuster films, launched seven life-changing nonprofits, and mentored thousands of young adults—but his latest project might be his most personal yet. In this conversation, Peter joins Wendy to share the story behind his new book Finding Happy: A User’s Guide to Your Life with Lessons from Mine.

Together, they explore: How producing films prepared him to build global charities, why the foster care system needs a total reimagining, what it means to teach kindness and agency to young people, and how happiness isn’t found—it’s built

🎬 Plus: a first in podcast history… Peter and Wendy perform the Revenge of the Nerds nerd laugh. Yes, really.

📖 Finding Happy by Peter Samuelson is available June 10 — in print, e-book, and audiobook (read by Peter himself!).
