In this episode, Louisa and Gayle explore how studies have shown that babies laugh hundreds of times a day, whereas adults perhaps chuckle 17 times a day (if we’re lucky). What gives? That’s the big question. Join us as we explore the question from several angles - not only where laughter may go do die (school, work, adult-ing) - but also where it may be found - in simple, every day actions.

As a two-time founder and architect of billion-dollar ideas, Lena McDearmid’s passion for culture has been shaped by fast moving environments where clear communication, strong leadership and intentional behaviors have a direct impact on performance. In this lively conversation, we talk about what culture is and what it is not – and the ways in which its impact can be measured in real numbers.

When bad things happen to good people, is there a reason? Cristina Bernardo thinks so - but not in the classic sense of thinking things happen FOR a reason. After losing her baby girl and others close to her in 2020, she learned that things happen and WE have to find the reason. And she's taking her reason to a higher level by giving other parents a greater level of confidence when raising their kids.

The episode is titled “Cup of Genius” because Gayle, Louisa and guest Joanna Zhang talk a lot about how you make choices to fill your life with purpose using your own unique gifts and talents. Rather than “filling your cup” with all the expectations other people have for you, it’s our hope that after hearing this conversation you can take a deep drink from your own well of genius and see what happens!
