    Kick your shoes off and leave your worries at the door; let’s make this moment a refuge where we can finally breathe. In a world that constantly screams for us to look out for "Number One" and chase the solitary luxury of wealth, why do we feel more isolated than ever? Join me, Miist, as we unravel a 2,000-year-old secret that modern science—from an 80-year Harvard study to the biology of the "Giver’s Glow"—is just now catching up to. We’ll explore the surprising chemistry of connection versus the heavy, hidden cost of selfishness, and I’ll share a deeply personal, unscripted moment involving a simple hug that completely reshaped my perspective on love. Discover why true happiness isn't found in what we take, but in a forgotten, 15-second habit that has the power to heal our hearts and transform our communities. Are you ready to smile again?

    Ep. 33: What's in a Name?
    2025/11/19
    Have you ever considered that the most valuable thing you own isn’t locked in a bank, but carried in the breath of those who speak of you? In this episode of Make Me Smile, we step away from the noise to examine the fragile, invisible architecture of our reputation and the profound weight of a name. We traverse the distance between the ancient cautionary tale of the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" and the quiet, transformative strength of Nelson Mandela, discovering why true integrity is worth more than gold—and why humility is the only armor that truly protects it. I open the door to a private moment with my daughter involving a simple request for an email address and the heavy, beautiful condition I placed upon it—a lesson on trust that took me decades to learn myself. Join me in this refuge as we uncover how a single, fifteen-second act of kindness can cement a legacy, and why the most powerful way to build a good name is often the terrifying act of admitting we were wrong. Let’s discover what it truly means to be remembered.

    Ep. 32: Artificial What?
    2025/11/12
    In our world of instant noodles and quick fixes, are we beginning to seek the same for our hearts? In this episode, we explore the seductive promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as we grapple with loneliness and our deep need for connection. But can something that only imitates emotion ever truly help us find authentic relationships? Can an algorithm teach us how to love? Join me as we journey into the heart of what makes us human, culminating in a startling revelation—an essay written by AI about itself that will make you question the very line between real and artificial. This is a crucial conversation about the nature of a soul, the "impostor scam" of the heart, and why the most profound connections are the ones we fight for, not the ones we can download.
