  • Carl Barney | The Happiness Experiment

    Carl Barney | The Happiness Experiment
    Jul 6 2025
    “Happiness is not an event. It’s a little step by step by step process.” Happiness isn’t something that just happens—it’s something you build. The key lies in cultivating self-wisdom and deliberately shaping your inner world to respond better to life’s external conditions. Real happiness grows from inside out, and the secret isn’t in chasing thrills but in forming a happiness plan—simple steps you can take to make your life feel more fulfilling. Carl Barney shares how a radical act of generosity—giving his inheritance to loved ones before his death—sparked the creation of “happiness plans” that transformed lives. He explains that the happiness experiment isn’t just about fleeting joy, but about growing self-awareness and living intentionally with the support of coaching, reflection, and values-aligned action. Carl is an entrepreneur and philanthropist who founded the Prometheus Foundation and authored The Happiness Experiment. Deeply inspired by Aristotle and Ayn Rand, he champions rational, life-loving philosophy and supports others in crafting lives of meaning and joy.

    “I’ve made a life of failing...The journey is the destination” Chasing your dreams isn’t always about dramatic leaps—it’s about the small, consistent acts of creation and courage. This episode explores the power of storytelling, the importance of doing what brings you joy (even if it’s not your profession), and how the pursuit of meaning can shape a rich and fulfilling life. Whether you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t light you up or thriving in your zone of genius, the principles shared here are a call to live with intention.

Matt Drago is a professional actor and founder of Dragon Hunter Productions. He stars in Somewhere in Montana and is focused on telling stories from overlooked communities.

    AI and Ecology | Matthieu Mehuys
    Jun 26 2025
    “You can be a gardener trying to work against nature… or you can try and surf the wave of how nature works.” Harnessing nature’s intelligence and artificial intelligence together isn’t just a good idea—it’s how the future of regenerative land design will thrive. In this episode, we explore how one visionary designer has turned his passion for plant life, soil health, and sustainable farming into a system that helps landowners worldwide transform their property into high-vitality ecosystems. From the volcanic richness of the Azores to AI-powered plant mapping, the conversation covers deep principles of how to align with nature’s laws for lasting abundance. Guest Mathieu Mehuys shares how he scaled his expertise from a family farm in Belgium to projects across three continents, aided by a 9-week masterclass and a custom AI tool that generates location-specific planting plans. He breaks down the “law of attraction” in plants, why most gardeners are unknowingly weakening their soil, and how his award-winning book codifies 12 universal laws of nature for every landowner to apply. Mathieu is an award-winning author and regenerative land designer. Raised on a farm, he holds a master’s degree in landscape architecture and now teaches landowners how to design ecologically sound, AI-assisted gardens and farms through his book, masterclass, and international consultancy.
