"Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something, not even me. All right! You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it, you want something, go get it. Period." Chris Gardner is the CEO of Happyness and he loves his job. his first book The Pursuit of Happyness became a New York Times best-selling book as well as Washington Post #1 bestseller and it has been translated in over 40 languages. That book was the story of Chris's life and he always thought of it as a way to project onto the world that anybody can do anything no matter what the obstacles are, no matter what the adversity is because we all embrace the power of choice. His book also inspired a film that became critically acclaimed, iconic and perhaps more relevant today than when it was first released. That movie was The Pursuit of Happyness. Will Smith played the part of Chris Gardner, he receive a Golden Globe Screen Actors Guild award and Academy Award nomination for his performance. The first and most important decision Chris ever made in his life is that his children would always know who their father was. The second most important decision that he ever made in his life is that he would become world-class as to whatever he did in his life. This decision led him to an uber-successful career on Wall Street. Chris shares some serious powerful lessons: #1: how we can make powerful pivots in our lives when we're confronted with adversity and Challenge and how we can show up as a more empowering and compassionate father than we ever thought possible even when we're dealing with everyday stress and the obstacles in our lives and finally that our circumstances do not define our future success.

Alright, alright, alright is the famous phrase coined by the illustrious Matthew McConaughey. He is an actor, father, husband, and author. When Matthew was younger, his father instilled in him three principles for life – "Don't say can't," "love, don't hate," "tell the truth, don't lie" and he has carried these principles throughout his life. Matthew McConaughey has acted in over 50 films and is the co-founder of the Just Keep Livin' Foundation alongside his wife, Camila. The two have three children and currently reside in Austin, Texas. Throughout his life, Matthew has learned that putting the energy into your family will produce results far greater than if you go it alone. He recalls his wife saying, "You go, we go" when they were deciding whether or not to have children. Since having three children, Matthew has been cultivating a closeness with his children that leaves a legacy for years to come. In his book Greenlights, Matthew talks about how he wants his life to read like an unfiltered, unedited version of himself. His whole life has been dedicated to this persona of an actor that everyone is familiar with. Leaving a legacy is all about the raw, unedited moments of our lives; the ones where we're not perfect and we do make mistakes. These are the moments that define who we are, not who everyone else thinks we are.
