About the show

Barry Shore isn't just a podcast host — he's the Ambassador of Joy, and this show is a masterclass in choosing Joy no matter what life throws at You. On September 17, 2004, Barry went from happy, healthy, and whole to fully paralyzed overnight — struck by Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare neurological disease. What followed was 144 days across three hospitals, two years in a hospital bed at home, and four years in a wheelchair. Today, Barry gets around with the help of a 6.5-foot walking wand, still needs assistance 12 hours a day, and yet swims two miles a day, six days a week. That journey from devastation to Joy is the heartbeat of everything Barry teaches. Each episode, Barry sits down with entrepreneurs, motivational speakers, business leaders, athletes, and non-profit ambassadors — inspiring people with stories that prove Joy and Happiness show up everywhere, in business, education, finance, leadership, and beyond. Guests bring their own hard-won wisdom to the table, and Barry weaves it together with his signature frameworks — the 3 Fundamentals, the 11 Strategies, and his OH SHIFT! method — to give You practical, actionable tools for reclaiming Your happiness, no matter Your circumstances or field. Whether You're building a business, leading a team, chasing a goal, or just searching for more Joy in Your everyday life, this podcast delivers inspiration rooted in real experience, not theory.
