Matt Gersper, known as "Mr. Happy Living," shares how he went from football player to entrepreneur, and his discovery of the power of purpose and small, steady improvements in life. He talks about how Kaizen principles—making small, gradual changes—help build a life of happiness and fulfillment. Matt discusses how important it is to know your purpose, to scale your life by balancing work, relationships, and personal growth, and how spiritual energy can fuel long-term success. He also gives tips for finding your path, battling exhaustion, and flipping your "have to" tasks into "want to" actions.
