Slo Mo Podcast

After a 30 year career in tech and serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], Google's 'moonshot factory' of innovation, Mo has made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world.

In 2020, Mo launched his chart-topping podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, a weekly series of extraordinary interviews that explores the profound questions and obstacles we all face in the pursuit of purpose and happiness in our lives.

Maya speaks with Mo about her journey. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just 16 years old. It is a painful life-changing incurable disease. The condition meant Maya was unable to do things a normal person would be able to do without having to consider how the disease would impact her everyday decisions. Lying in her hospital bed she began to dream of a different life, one where she could learn to live with the challenges that she has been presented with. This is how she discovered the power of visualization.

Listen as they discuss:

• Win it in your mind before winning it in reality

• Why top athletes use visualization

• Incurable diagnosis

• Shame and loneliness

• Discovering visualization

• Changing the brain, changing your life

• Live in your mind first then live in reality

• The end of the movie

• What makes you feel alive

• Entrepreneurship

• Controlling your feelings

• Accountability

• From victim to victor

• Happiness is not a destination
