Welcome to It's a Good Life, the podcast for entrepreneurs, where it's all about growing yourself

and your business. Here's your host, founder of America's largest business coaching company,

Brian Buffini.

Well, the top of the morning to you and welcome to It's a Good Life. Today, I have a very special program and it probably embodies the good life as much as anything else.

You know, when I talk about It's a Good Life, it's this measured approach between highs and lows, joys and suffering.

So many people promise the sensational life, the amazing life,

the awesome life. And any of us who've been on the planet a long time know that the way it's

designed is inside the infinite love of God, there's a place for suffering. And you're going to have

highs, you're going to have lows, you're going to have good, you're going to have bad. And it's the spirit with which you move forward with is everything.

It's a good life. It's central to my life. It's central to my faith. You know, the gospel, as I believe

as a Christian, the gospel means good news. I've got a good wife. I've got a good family. I've got a good business. I've got

good staff, good clients. Life is good. Life is not always great. It's not always easy. And so today I

have the ultimate good life message for you and it's appropriate to do because on March 20th this year,

my mom passed away. And my mom's been an

integral part of the 25 million downloads of this podcast. She has finished up with her Irish blessing.

And it's been interesting to me, whether they be celebrities or powerful billionaires and

whoever else we've interviewed, it's amazing how

whenever my mom's voice would come on the end of the broadcast or the filming, people would just

naturally smile. And I'm sure many of you have. And as I said in my dedication to her, I said,

you know, maybe for a few moments,

ma'am was my mother, but for a few moments she felt like other people's mom too when she

would do her Irish blessing.
