Quit waiting for some day and start living today. How many times have you heard someone say "I'll enjoy life when I retire" or when "the kids get older"? Sadly, these are common excuses, ones that people often don't get to see or experience. Angelo Valenti joins me to share the key to living a fulfilling life and prioritizing what truly matters. He pulls back the curtain on this delayed happiness mindset and invites us to instead seize joy in the present moment. Angelo highlights the significance of focusing on joy over fleeting happiness.

He teaches us the art of finding joy amid adversity by revealing his personal journey, including the resilience he learned from his wife's battle with ALS.
