My guest on this episode is a giant in every field he’s ventured into, Mo Gawdat. Mo was Chief Business Officer at Google X, and is now the popular author of *Solve for Happy*, *Scary Smart*, and more recently, *That Little Voice in Your Head*, with more books to come. He is also behind the *One Billion Happy* movement which is inspired by his late son, Aly, who died tragically in 2014.

Mo today is more monk than mogul. He has gone from corporate man to living out of a carry-on bag, lugging his podcast equipment around the world, and having conversations with people who will shine a light on a hidden corner of the human experience.
