45: Happiness with Kristin’s Dad, Jim Hoddenbach

The Progress Project - A podcast by Laura Farr & Kristin Brown

Today’s episode is extra special -- we have an interview with Kristin’s dad!

Anyone who knows him knows that Jim Hoddenbach is an extraordinary person. He’s a pilot, expert aircraft mechanic, father of three, grandfather of six, and someone who influences every person he comes across for good.

In our conversation, we talked about the elusive concept of happiness. We talked about what it even means when we say we want to be happy and how we can create more happiness in our lives.

We also talked about:

  • The 50/50 rule that life is half good, half bad -- and why that’s actually a good thing
  • How we can live with more acceptance and less resistance of the 50% bad
  • The four kinds of happiness
  • How to balance living in the present moment with remembering the good of the past and anticipation for the future
