Retirement is a time of new beginnings, but without joy, purpose, and fulfillment, it can feel empty and directionless. Yasmin Nguyen, author, Joy Ambassador, and co-founder of the Retirement Innovation Lab, shares how you, in your professional or personal life, can transform your approach and life satisfaction by activating joy in retirement planning.
Through the Game of Joy, Yasmin introduces “Joy Activators” — experiences that nurture well-being and vitality — and reveals how they help retirees thrive. He also highlights the role of “Joy Blockers” — emotional, psychological, and social barriers that prevent joy — and explains how you can support your clients and yourself in overcoming them.
In addition, whether you're dealing with retirement or not, we'll also focus on how to develop "joy activators, " so you can bring joy into your life during these challenging times.

- The 5 Principles of Joyful Living and how they provide a foundation for a meaningful retirement and life.
- “Joy Activators” — practices and experiences that unlock happiness, well-being, and fulfillment.
- "Joy Blockers” and how addressing them helps you move past emotional and psychological obstacles.
- How the Retirement Innovation Lab provides financial advisors and coaches with tools, training, and insights to seamlessly integrate holistic planning into their practice.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
