About this episode

Negativity is everywhere. In your office, your group chats, your social media feed, and sometimes even your own thoughts. But just because the world has problems doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In this episode, Ryan challenges you to avoid the doom and gloom trap and recognize the difference between being realistic and being relentlessly negative. You'll discover why complaining drains your energy, how to shift from being a complainer to a contributor, and why optimism isn't naive. It's a choice. Life is hard, but you can still decide to enjoy it. And remember, attitude is contagious. Make sure yours is worth catching.
