Hello and welcome to Happier, a podcast about how to be happier, healthier, more productive,

and more creative.

This week we'll talk about why it's satisfying to develop a minor expertise, and relatedly,

or reasons that will become clear, we'll do a deep dive into the issue of having a signature

color.

I'm Gretchen Rubin, a writer whose studies happiness, good habits in human nature.

I'm a New York City, and with me is my award-winning sister, Elizabeth Kraft.

That's me, Elizabeth Kraft, a TV writer and producer, living in LA, and yes, Gretchen, we

are both award winners.

Yeah, it was so exciting.

We went to podcast movement in Chicago, and we were up for best podcasts in the Health

and Fitness category, and we won.

Yes, yes.

Although it was a lesson because we really didn't think we were going to win, and

so we had nothing prepared to say, and I don't think we gave a good speech.

But as you said, if you can't be eloquent, be brief.

Yes, and we were brief.

Yes, and we were obviously very happy, so it was fun.

And the next day we were matching T-shirts with our happier logos that you made us.

So it was a great experience.

Yes.

Podcast experience.
