527. Bliss, Impact, and the Illusion of Separation with Patrick Combs

🎯 What if I told you that your internal compass for success isn't logic or strategy—it's JOY?

Hall of Fame speaker Patrick Combs just dropped some serious wisdom on the Get Yourself Optimized podcast. After speaking to over 1 million college students across 1,000+ campuses, he's discovered something profound: the leaders who thrive long-term aren't just chasing achievements—they're following their authentic joy.

Here's what Patrick shared that changed my perspective: 

✅ Use joy as your decision-making compass (not just logic) 

✅ Practice deep presence to enhance every professional interaction 

✅ Transform routine tasks into opportunities for mindfulness 

✅ Reframe industry disruption as collective growth, not personal threat

This isn't about toxic positivity; it's about sustainable success that doesn't burn you out.
