happiness

Happiness is a billion-dollar industry. Which is ironic, if you think about it. The founders in this section are building companies focused on well-being, personal development, and the pursuit of a life that feels good. Not just looks good.

These interviews cover the wellness and personal growth landscape. Mental health tools. Meditation apps. Life coaching platforms. Wellness brands. The intersection of science and self-improvement, where things get interesting and occasionally weird.

The founders here approach happiness from different angles. Some are data-driven. Others are spiritual. A few are both. What they share is a rejection of the idea that happiness is something you achieve once and then you’re done. It’s ongoing work, and these founders are building tools and communities to support it.

You’ll find conversations about mental wellness, positive psychology, building community around well-being, and the challenge of selling something as intangible as feeling better. Also the tension between self-improvement culture and self-acceptance. Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is decide you’re fine. If you’re interested in the business of well-being, these conversations are a good place to start.
