    Flourishing Edge Podcast with Ashish Kothari

    Research backed leadership practices to build high performance cultures and improve workplace wellbeing and employee engagement.

    Every week, Ashish Kothari sits down with the researchers, executives and practitioners doing the most rigorous work on improving workplace wellbeing and turns what they have learned into something you can implement right away.

    Not wellness perks. Not engagement surveys nobody acts on. The specific behaviors, systems and daily habits that separate organizations where people burn out from those where they thrive.

    Conversations range across rewiring habits, building resilience, sustaining energy, cultivating purpose and leading with greater humanity, and how individuals, teams and organizations create the conditions for people and performance to thrive together.

    Recent guests include Barbara Jeffrey on workplace wellbeing, Zeynep Ton on the Good Jobs System, Zach Mercurio on why mattering drives retention, and Dr. Kristin Neff on self-compassion.

    Every episode gives you something you can use on Monday. How to build high performing teams. How to lead culture change that holds. Why managers shape employee motivation and employee experience more than any program ever will.

    Made for business leaders, HR and people teams who own organizational culture and get measured on what it produces.

    Ashish spent 17 years at McKinsey watching brilliant, exhausted leaders burn out and leaders prioritizing higher profits at the cost of their people. He wrote Hardwired for Happiness and founded Happiness Squad to fix it. He created the Organizational Human Potential Index, along with the REWIRE and PEARL models behind programs run at Google, PepsiCo, Danone and MUFG.

    This podcast is where that work happens out loud. 180+ episodes and counting.

    Leadership Training Programs: Lead Better Through Positive Communication with Dr. Julien Mirivel May 06, 2025
    Show notes

    At work, we often operate in transactional mode, almost always skipping the human side of communication. But if you want to build trust, boost performance, and create a culture of belonging for your teams, you need to let go of silence, stress, and surface-level interactions.

    The only way to make meaningful connections is intentionally embracing positive communication. However, it’s easier said than done. That’s why we partnered up with Dr. Julien Mirivel for the second time in this episode to explore the elements of positive communication so that you can lead and connect with your people more meaningfully.

    In Part 2 of this powerful episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Julien Mirivel returns to unpack the final three behaviors from his model of Positive Communication: Disclosing, Encouraging, and Listening.

    He explores how small acts, like sharing your own story, offering meaningful praise, or even opening your hand, can create deeper trust and connection at work.

    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • “Disclosing” as a reciprocal and deeply humanizing act

    • How “Encouraging” moves people from who they are to who they can become

    • How “Listening” helps transcend perceived differences especially for leaders

    • The three forms of support

    • Making Positive Communication a Habit


    This is your playbook for building lasting connections. Don’t miss it!

    Show notes

    Too often, leaders think their biggest job is solving problems and driving results. But in the process, they unintentionally become task machines: skipping the “hello,” missing the human moments, and delivering feedback like checklists. That’s a sure way to build a culture where people feel unseen, unappreciated, and disconnected.

    In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Dr. Julien Mirivel explore a new model of communication with small, intentional practices that help leaders strengthen relationships, elevate performance, and bring more humanity into the way work gets done.

    Dr. Julien C. Mirivel is a professor of applied communication at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, an author specializing in positive communication, and a professional speaker. He is the co-author of multiple books, including The Art of Positive Communication and Positive Communication for Leaders.

    Dr. Julien reveals in this episode how you can communicate more intentionally to build stronger relationships at work and in life.


    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • Redefining communication from exchanging information to building relationships

    • The six foundational behaviors of positive communication

    • How positive communication can create connection, trust, and performance at work

    • Why leaders must learn to see and reflect the effort behind the work—not just the outcome.

    • How to reframe tough conversations through curiosity and open-ended questions.


    This episode will leave you with practical tools and deep insights you can start using today to communicate with more humanity and impact. Tune in now!

    Show notes

    Would you trade your brain health for career wins? You might already be and you're not noticing it. It's in the way you push through the back-to-back meetings, rely on caffeine to stay sharp, and squeeze in rest when you can. Your brain is keeping score of that behavior, and if you keep doing it, your performance, energy, and health will slowly decline—even while you’re “succeeding.”

    Today’s Happiness Squad Podcast episode is your chance to flip the script. Ashish Kothari sits down with Dr. Ryan Williamson about how you can actively protect your brain, extend your health span, and sustain peak performance—not just today, but for the decades ahead.

    Dr. Ryan Williamson is a board-certified neurologist, U.S. Navy veteran, and founder of Transcend Health. Focused on brain health and longevity, he helps individuals optimize performance and build lasting legacies through evidence-based wellness strategies. His work includes a membership program, educational resources, and an upcoming book aimed at expanding his impact on health and success.

    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • Why you have more control over your health than you think

    • The four pillars of brain longevity

    • How to manage chronic stress

    • How to improve your sleep quality and why it matters

    3 Ways Small Businesses Can Survive the $150B Tariff Shock with Ashish Kothari Apr 11, 2025
    Show notes

    What do you do when $150 billion in economic pressure is knocking on your door?

    If you're leading a small or medium-sized business right now, you're not just navigating volatility—you're steering through a full-blown storm. Between plummeting markets, rising tariffs, and a fog of uncertainty, we can no longer afford to keep doing business as usual.

    In this special episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari, Founder & CEO of Happiness Squad, addresses the urgent challenges facing small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the face of unprecedented economic turbulence—triggered by sharp market downturns and a new wave of import tariffs.

    These external pressures are putting nearly $150 billion of headwinds on SMBs, threatening both financial stability and long-term survival.

    Ashish shares three critical leadership capabilities that can help SMB leaders to survive and thrive through this storm:

    1. Adaptability and Resilience– Cultivating inner calm, shifting into resilient mindsets, reconnecting to purpose, and leading with vulnerability and psychological safety.
    2. Leveraging Data and Analytics– Using data to assess risk, segment customers, evaluate suppliers, and make strategic, insight-led decisions.
    3. Negotiation Excellence– Preparing for tough conversations with customers and suppliers and acting decisively with clarity, fairness, and confidence.

    Ashish also introduces support offerings from Happiness Squad and a team of seasoned experts to help business leaders navigate these times—ranging from free white papers and webinars to a deep-dive bootcamp and mastermind community.

    Show notes

    So many of us are negotiating every day: at work, at home, and most importantly, with ourselves—without even realizing it. Yet, when we think of “negotiation,” we often imagine a high-stakes business deal or a zero-sum game where someone wins and someone loses. That mindset is long obsolete. It's been holding us back from better relationships, greater confidence, and even personal happiness.

    In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Mori Taheripour—renowned negotiation expert, Wharton professor, and author of Bring Yourself—reframe what negotiation really means.

    Mori Taheripour is a globally recognized negotiation expert, a 12-time award-winning faculty member at the Wharton School, a highly sought-after speaker, and the author of Bring Yourself: How to Harness the Power of Connection to Negotiate Fearlessly.

    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • What negotiation really means in everyday life

    • The importance of negotiating with yourself

    • Why leading with curiosity makes you a better decision-maker

    • How to turn rejection into opportunity

    • Why self-awareness starts with stillness

    • The difference between perfection and excellence

    • What it means to show up as your full self

    • How to handle conflict by gaining perspective

    Get ready to negotiate fearlessly from the inside out. Tune in—you’ll never see negotiation the same way again.

    Flourishing Wellbeing: Reclaim Business Through Conscious Capitalism with Thomas Eckschmidt Apr 01, 2025
    Show notes

    Most businesses start with a bold “why,” but along the way, profits take over, and purpose fades into just another corporate slogan. Now, with ESG and purpose-driven business facing backlash, companies are backing away, fearing controversy and short-term losses. But the truth is that leaders who abandon purpose risk more than just bad PR; they lose trust, culture, and long-term success.

    In this episode of The Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Thomas Eckschmidt to explore how organizations can evolve beyond profits, embrace conscious leadership, and create a culture of trust and impact—without sacrificing success.

    Thomas Eckschmidt is the co-founder of the Conscious Capitalism movement in Brazil and CEO of CBJ Conscious Business Journey, a global network driving conscious business transformation. A seasoned entrepreneur and advocate for Conscious Capitalism, he has launched multiple ventures, won 12 business awards, authored 11 books, and filed four patents. He also serves on corporate boards, helping organizations integrate conscious business practices.

    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • Understanding the Four Tenets of Conscious Capitalism

    • The Danger of Losing Your "Why" in Business

    • Ego vs. Ecosystem Leadership

    • The Power of Stakeholder Orientation

    • Reframing Business Success Beyond Just Profit

    Workplace Wellbeing Programs: How Leaders Can Win the Fight for Mental Health with Michael Landsberg Mar 25, 2025
    Show notes

    Employees are burnt out, disengaged, and silently struggling with their mental health. Meanwhile, leaders assume they’re doing enough because their company offers an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) or has a "Mental Health Matters" poster in the breakroom. But most employees never use these resources. Not because they don’t need help, but because they don’t feel safe enough to ask for it.

    This silence is costing businesses productivity, innovation, and even lives. So, how do we change this? How can leaders not just acknowledge workplace mental health but actually win the fight for better well-being—permanently?

    That’s exactly what we unpack in this powerful episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast with Ashish Kothari and Michael Landsberg, a leading voice in mental health advocacy.

    Michael Landsberg is a Canadian sports journalist and mental health advocate, best known as the longtime host of Off the Record on TSN. He has been a prominent voice in raising awareness about depression and anxiety, openly sharing his own struggles to reduce stigma. Landsberg founded SickNotWeak, a mental health advocacy initiative, and continues to speak publicly about the importance of mental health support.

    For leaders who want to fix workplace mental health for good, it’s not about offering more benefits. It’s about changing how it is talked about and handled at work.


    Things you will learn in this episode:

    • Why People Stay Silent About Mental Illness

    • Hope as the Missing Piece in Depression Recovery

    • The Business Case for Mental Health in the Workplace

    • First Step: A Mental Health Program That Actually Works

    • Why Leaders Need to Be Vulnerable to Fix Mental Health

    We’ve been sold this idea that work and life are two separate things—one to survive, the other to enjoy. But here’s the truth: It’s all just life.

Teresa Roche is a transformational HR leader with expertise in building well-being-driven workplaces. As CHRO of the City of Fort Collins, she has led innovative talent strategies, inclusion initiatives, and the Future of Work, shaping a culture where people and performance thrive.

In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Teresa Roche explore how leaders can start designing purposeful workplaces that fuel both performance and well-being. Things you will learn in this episode: • The myth of work-life balance • The importance of building a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being • Why well-being must be an organizational priority • Why organizations need to make the systemic shift to promote wellness • The ROI of creating flourishing organizations • The role of leaders in driving a flourishing culture The system needs to change!
