There’s an old saying, happiness is a choice. Indeed, it is! Life gets so busy that we often forget to pause and think about how a simple gesture or interaction can move someone completely. We can intentionally be decision-makers seizing moments in ordinary places to deliver unforgettable experiences for customers, colleagues, friends, etc.

My guest, Ryan Estis, helps company leaders and individual contributors embrace change and achieve breakthrough performance. Most importantly, he teaches how to deliver unforgettable experiences. Ryan’s true stories will touch the core of your heart as he beautifully portrays a Starbuck barista, Lily, who “pours happiness” every day. Please watch the video of Ryan’s I’ll never forget that cup of coffee. During my interview with Ryan, we go behind the scenes of his story and discuss the simple secret to life-changing happiness.

We explore:

  • How Ryan Estis purposely makes an impact by prioritizing happiness and bringing out human potentials.

Significant discoveries:

  • We can impact someone from ordinary roles in our everyday lives.
  • Meaningful human interaction with full attention is the key to being happy and making someone else happy too.
  • Our thoughtful choices have consequences that shape the world at large.
  • By increasing the level of self-consciousness, we will find ways to better contribute to our family, community, workplace, and society.
  • Personal leadership vision is to find how we can be remembered by people.
  • With failure comes feedback as a gift. Impactful changes happen as result.

Motivating quotes from this episode:

“What’s your secret to making these connections over serving coffee?

She corrected me, I’m not serving coffee, I’m pouring happiness into people’s lives.”

“When you decide to show up as the best version of who you are, it gives you an opportunity to meet people where they are.”

“You never know when someone needs you to be your best.”

“Decide how you show up because every choice has consequences that can change the world.”

“When you elevate self-awareness and level of consciousness to understand that impact, you get an opportunity to better contribute to your family, community, workplace, society, and the world in a significant way.”

“Whether you’re a boss or a leader to a young college graduate or someone who’s 50 years old, you have so much power to inspire them every day. Use your power to support others.”

“Leadership isn’t a job. It’s a responsibility and involves humility, sacrifice, service, love, and empathy. It’s about helping other people become the best version of who they are.”

“If you’re waiting for data to drive your decisions, you’re discounting the speed of the marketplace and your ability to connect with humans in authentic and meaningful ways. We aren’t computers.”

“We have to realize that failure is part of the journey. Feedback is a gift.”
