The Balancing Act with Andrew Temte, PhD, CFA · 2026-07-16 · 32 min
What if you've been chasing success backwards? What if joy isn't the reward you earn after hitting your goals - but the foundation that makes hitting them inevitable? In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Bose Akadiri - motivational keynote speaker, corporate trainer, and founder and CEO of Goal and Grind LLC, where she's known as “The Joy Amplifier.” After a decade leading corporate social responsibility at Boeing, Salesforce, and JPMorgan Chase, she wrote The Stay Joyful Method to make the business case for joy - not as a feel-good perk, but as a strategic advantage that drives retention, sharpens clarity, and moves the numbers leaders actually care about. Tune in to episode 254 to hear why the strongest performers spend time backstage before they take the main stage, how the “joy bubble” becomes a force field when work gets hard, and what it looks like to lead with joy that has a spine - joy that's results-driven and impossible to dismiss as soft.
