The JOY of LIVING — Education
The JOY of LIVING

Barry Shore isn’t just a podcast host — he’s the Ambassador of Joy, and this show is a masterclass in choosing Joy no matter what life throws at You. On September 17, 2004, Barry went from happy, healthy, and whole to fully paralyzed overnight — struck by Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare neurological disease. What followed was 144 days across three hospitals, two years in a hospital bed at home, and four years in a wheelchair. Today, Barry gets around with the help of a 6.5-foot walking wand, still needs assistance 12 hours a day, and yet swims two miles a day, six days a week. That journey from devastation to Joy is the heartbeat of everything Barry teaches.

Each episode, Barry sits down with entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, business leaders, athletes, and non-profit ambassadors — inspiring people with stories that prove Joy and Happiness show up everywhere, in business, education, finance, leadership, and beyond. Guests bring their own hard-won wisdom to the table, and Barry weaves it together with his signature frameworks — the 3 Fundamentals, the 11 Strategies, and his OH SHIFT! method — to give You practical, actionable tools for reclaiming Your happiness, no matter Your circumstances or field.

Whether You’re building a business, leading a team, chasing a goal, or just searching for more Joy in Your everyday life, this podcast delivers inspiration rooted in real experience, not theory. Subscribe to THE JOY OF LIVING PODCAST and start Your own JOY of Living journey today.

Revolutionizing the SPA Industry: How Massage Envy is Making Self-Care Accessible to All Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of the podcast, host Barry Shore chats with Beth Stiller, the CEO of Massage Envy, a wellness brand that has been in existence for over 20 years. Beth takes us on a journey of how the brand started with a therapist who understood the power of taking care of one's body through massage but recognized that not everyone could afford it. This led to the creation of a membership model that made massage accessible and affordable to everyone.

With 1.2 million members, Massage Envy has a well-rounded approach to wellness, which includes therapeutic care, total body stretching, and skincare. Beth emphasizes the importance of skin wellness, as it is the largest organ in the body and is often subjected to harsh treatment. Massage Envy offers skincare services using three well-researched brands, Jam Marini skin research, PCA, and Obagi Medical, to help people understand what is unique about their skin and how they can improve it.
