About this episode

<p>You can be successful and still not be flourishing. In this episode, Ryan talks with <a href="https://danielcoyle.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">leadership expert Dan Coyle </a>about the difference between living like a machine and living like a human being. They talk about why high performance can become hollow, where real meaning comes from, and why simple mantras matter more than we think. They also discuss the importance of community, the role of “yellow door” moments, and how the words you use shape the way you show up.</p><br><p>Daniel Coyle is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestsellers <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-culture-code-the-secrets-of-highly-successful-groups?_pos=2&amp;_sid=be787a719&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Culture Code</em></a>, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/the-talent-code-greatness-isnt-born-its-grown-heres-how?_pos=3&amp;_sid=be787a719&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Talent Code</em></a>, and his NEW book <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/products/flourish-the-art-of-building-meaning-joy-and-fulfillment?_pos=1&amp;_sid=be787a719&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment</em></a>.
