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.

MICHAEL MEDVED’S HISTORY STORE Michael’s Store Featured Guest Michael Medved

Born in Philadelphia, Michael attended public schools in San Diego and Los Angeles before starting Yale at age 16 as a National Merit Scholar. He majored in American History and graduated with honors, before attending Yale Law School, where his classmates included Bill and Hillary Clinton. After several years as a campaign speechwriter and political consultant, Michael wrote his first bestseller at age 26â€”WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE CLASS OF â€™65?, a skeptical reconsideration of the â€œcountercultureâ€ of the 1960s that became a weekly TV series on NBC. Michaelâ€™s subsequent 12 books include THE SHADOW PRESIDENTS, hailed as the definitive history of White House chiefs of staff; HOLLYWOOD VS. AMERICA,a stinging indictment of the entertainment industry; and RIGHT TURNS, which tells the story of Michaelâ€™s transformation from â€œpunk liberal activist to lovable conservative curmudgeon.â€ THE 10 BIG LIES ABOUT AMERICA (2008) and THE 5 BIG LIES ABOUT AMERICAN BUSINESS (2010), confront the most common smears against the United States and its free market system. Medvedâ€™s most recent books, THE AMERICAN MIRACLE: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE RISE OF THE REPUBLIC and GODâ€™S HAND ON AMERICA: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE MODERN ERA, describe astonishing incidents in which luck, nature or some higher power seemed to intervene on behalf the United States. In the books, Michael argues that a â€œpattern of happy accidentsâ€ is still a pattern, and sides with the Founders in seeing America as â€œfortuneâ€™s favoriteâ€ and â€œdestinyâ€™s darling.â€ Michaelâ€™s columns on politics and media appear frequently in USA Today, where he is a member of the Board of Contributors. His work as a film critic, based on short-lived experience as a Hollywood screen writer, featured positions at CNN (1980-84), Great Britainâ€™s Channel 4 Network (1984), and PBS (1985-96) where he served as co-host of the popular weekly show Sneak Previews. He was also Chief Film Critic of the New York Post for five years before launching his daily radio show in 1996. Michael has been married for 33 years to clinical psychologist Dr. Diane Medved, a bestselling author in her own right (THE CASE AGAINST DIVORCE). Dianeâ€™s latest book, DONâ€™T DIVORCE: POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR SAVING AND REVITALIZING YOUR MARRIAGE, was released in March, 2017. They live in the Seattle area where they raised their three children.
