Life is an adventure, filled with ups and downs, just like an African safari. In this May newsletter, I share the final key to happiness, 'Embrace the Adventure,' and I need your help to make it resonate. Share your favorite quotes, songs, or resources that celebrate life's journey, and the best contribution wins a handmade soapstone hippo!

How are you living authentically?

Will your life, work, and leadership be EPIC in 2023? Few people inspire me more than my son Ryan, who authentically embraces his passions – from programming to renaissance fairs – and surrounds himself with supportive people. He envisions his best life, plans his journey, invites the right companions, and has the courage to follow his own path. How EPIC is your life? Let's make 2023 the year you become more EPIC!

STEVE PODCAST GUEST: 5 Ways You Can Find Joy at Work

Join me on a transformative journey in my latest podcast with Dolph Goldenberg on the Successful Nonprofits Podcast as we explore the quest for joy at work. Reflecting on my 25-year actuarial career, I share insights into escaping the "good life trap" and finding inspiration during African safaris. The "Big Five Factors" emerged from this experience, guiding my shift in perspective—choose your experience, surround yourself with the right people, do the unexpected, practice gratitude, and embrace the adventure. Despite challenges, these principles empowered me to navigate life's unique journey. Life is not just a safari; it's an epic adventure. Let's embrace it together and find greater happiness.
