Epicureanism
Five Steps to Lasting Happiness
Catch the recording on Spotify
Grab a seat at the table, this episode of Bacon Bits with Master Happiness is serving up something good.
Here's the twist: the word "epicurean" makes us picture fancy dinners and endless luxury. But the philosopher behind it, Epicurus, taught almost the opposite. Real happiness? It doesn't come from more stuff, bigger paychecks, or shinier things. It comes from simple pleasures, deep friendships, and a calm, mindful life.
In this episode, we bust the myths, connect ancient wisdom to modern life, and dish out five steps to lasting happiness using our favorite acronym: BACON: Be Present, Appreciate Abundance, Cultivate Connection, Own Your Choices, and Now Grow.
Want less, appreciate more, and live richer? That's the recipe.

Part 08 - Legends in Leadership
Odysseus
The Leadership Voyage
Great leaders aren't born in comfort. They're forged in the fire. That's the heart of our ongoing leadership series on Bacon Bits with Master Happiness, where we sizzle down history's biggest lessons into bite-sized wisdom you can actually use. Eight parts in, and the pan is still hot.
This episode, we set sail with one of history's greatest strategists: Odysseus. He wasn't the strongest. He wasn't the richest. But he was the cleverest man alive—and his ten-year journey home holds five leadership takeaways that still hit hard today. We're serving them up through a framework we call BACON: Boldness, Adaptability, Cunning, Ownership, and Navigation. Want to know how a wooden horse toppled a city, or how one leader steered his team through storm after storm without losing sight of home? That's what we're unpacking.
Whether you lead a team, a company, or just yourself, this one's worth the listen. Grab your headphones, pull up a chair, and tune in to Part 8 now, your Ithaca is waiting.

The 3 Types of Friends
According to Aristotle
Think about the friend who laughs with you until your sides ache. Now think about the one who shows up at midnight when life falls apart. Different people, right? More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle explained exactly why.
In this episode, we unpack his timeless idea: friendship comes in three flavors. There are friends of utility, who serve a purpose. Friends of pleasure, who bring the joy. And that rare, precious few, friends of virtue, who see your soul and make you better.
But here's the beautiful part. Friendships aren't frozen. They grow, shift, and sometimes surprise us by deepening into something we never expected. We'll walk through how that happens, and share five essential takeaways using a simple framework we call BACON.
I'm joined by two of my favorite people, my sister Linda and my brother Joe, for a warm, honest, and heartfelt conversation.
So grab your coffee and settle in. Listen to the episode now, and let's talk about the people who make life worth living.
