Stay ConnectedBarry 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.
