4 - Why Joy Isn’t a Reward – It’s the Strategy That Changes Everything with Ian Barnett
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
jeudi 26 mars 2026 • Durée 50:57
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, Greg De Koker sits down with financial advisor Ian Barnett for a grounded, honest and deeply human conversation about what it really means to live – and lead – with intentional joy.
From a high-pressure engineering career to building a purpose-driven financial practice, he shares how redefining success around family, service, and fulfillment transformed not just his work, but how he shows up in life.
At the center of this conversation is a powerful shift.
Joy isn’t something you earn after success. It’s something you choose first.
Together, Greg and Ian explore what happens when you stop chasing outcomes… and start aligning your life with what actually matters.
In this episode, we explore:
• How redefining success can completely change your life trajectory
• The emotional weight of financial stress – and how to move through it
• Why discipline and structure can actually create more freedom and joy
• The importance of presence – especially with the people who matter most
But beyond money, this episode is about something deeper.
It’s about ownership.
It’s about values.
It’s about choosing how you live – on purpose.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to create meaningful change in your life, this conversation will meet you where you are… and challenge you to take your next step forward.
Because at the end of the day, as Ian reminds us:
No one else is responsible for your joy – you have to choose it.

Saison 1 · Épisode 3
jeudi 26 mars 2026 • Durée 47:24
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, Greg De Koker sits down with transformational speaker, educator and movement facilitator Emmy Rousseau for an energizing and deeply human conversation about reclaiming joy as a daily, intentional practice.
From navigating uncertainty in her early entrepreneurial days to becoming a powerful voice for self-love, mindset and embodied transformation, she brings a refreshing perspective: joy isn’t something we earn – it’s something we return to.
Through her work, Emmy helps depleted changemakers reconnect with themselves so they can create meaningful, sustainable impact – without burning out.
But what makes her approach so powerful isn’t just what she teaches – it’s how she invites people back into themselves.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why joy isn’t dependent on circumstances – but always available within
• The difference between happiness (temporary) and joy (ever-present)
• How overthinking, people-pleasing and pressure quietly block joy
• The power of trusting your intuition as a guide to alignment
• Emmy’s “self-love toolbox” for shifting your state in real time
• How movement, breath and awareness can unlock authentic joy
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your thoughts…Disconnected from your energy…Or unsure how to access joy in the middle of real life…
This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder:

jeudi 26 mars 2026 • Durée 45:42
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, Greg De Koker sits down with global executive, leadership advisor, and founder of Ascencia Group, Wray Carvelas, for a powerful and grounded conversation on what it truly means to lead with joy, purpose, and genuine care for people.
With a career spanning engineering, mining, and global leadership – including CEO roles leading thousands – Wray brings a rare perspective: high performance at scale, built through people, not pressure.
But what sets his leadership apart isn’t just what he’s achieved – it’s how he’s achieved it.
In this episode, we explore:

• The shift from “work-life balance” to true integration of life, purpose, and leadership
• The role of ikigai in aligning passion, strengths, and impact
• The hidden cost of taking on too much – and how self-awareness changes everything
• How to lead in environments that resist change – and still stay true to your values
Wray also shares honest reflections from his journey – what he’s learned, what he’s unlearned, and what it really takes to create cultures where people feel valued, empowered and inspired to do their best work.

If you’ve questioned whether joy truly belongs in leadership…
1 - Why Joy Comes First: Rethinking Success, Leadership and Growth with Jamie Mason Cohen
Saison 1 · Épisode 1
mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Durée 01:03:19
In the first episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, host Greg De Koker sits down with keynote speaker, executive leadership coach, and podcast host Jamie Mason Cohen for a powerful conversation about encouragement, courage, and the choice to lead life with joy.
This episode is especially meaningful for Greg, because Jamie was one of the first people who encouraged him to share his voice publicly and step into the work he’s now bringing to life through this podcast.
Before becoming an internationally recognized speaker and leadership coach, Jamie’s path was shaped by a deep curiosity about communication, creativity, and human connection. Over the years, he has worked with leaders and organizations around the world, helping them communicate more authentically and lead with greater clarity and impact.
In this conversation, Jamie reflects on the experiences that shaped his career—from early days in teaching and storytelling to building a global speaking practice and interviewing some of the world’s most influential thinkers.
Together, Greg and Jamie explore what it takes to start something meaningful even when doubt, fear, and overthinking try to hold us back. They talk about how a single word of encouragement can change the trajectory of someone’s life, why perfectionism often delays the things that matter most, and how joy isn’t something we experience after success—it’s something we choose and cultivate along the way.
This conversation sets the tone for the JOY² podcast: honest, thoughtful discussions about leadership, personal growth, and the small but powerful practices that help us live, work, and lead with more intention and joy.
If you’ve ever hesitated to begin something important—or wondered how to bring more joy into your work and life—this episode is a meaningful place to start.

jeudi 14 mai 2026 • Durée 01:00:08
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, host Greg De Koker sits down with Chris Barkey for a powerful conversation about leadership, culture, performance, and why joy still matters in high-pressure environments.
After decades leading global engineering teams at Rolls-Royce plc and Baker Hughes, Chris shares what truly drives high-performing teams – and it’s not fear, pressure or control.
It’s trust.
It’s purpose.
It’s creating environments where people can thrive.
Through stories from his career leading thousands of engineers around the world, Chris explains how culture is shaped through everyday behaviors, honest conversations, intentional leadership, and the small moments that make people feel seen and valued.
Together, Greg and Chris explore how joy and performance work together – not against each other. They discuss leadership energy, psychological safety, communication, recognition, and how removing unnecessary barriers can unlock stronger cultures and better results.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why joy should be part of the process – not just the outcome
• How trust and behavior shape high-performing cultures
• Why celebration, recognition and positivity matter at work
• How communication and feedback strengthen teams
• The hidden bureaucracy and habits that block innovation and joy
• Why curiosity and shared success create stronger organizations
More than a leadership conversation, this episode is about creating workplaces where excellence and wellbeing can coexist.
7 - What If Nothing Needs to Change for You to Feel Joy? with Kyle Grooms
Saison 1 · Épisode 7
jeudi 7 mai 2026 • Durée 53:43
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, host Greg De Koker sits down with financial advisor and community leader Kyle Grooms for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about what it truly means to live with joy – not as something you chase, but as something you recognize and allow.
Kyle shares a simple yet powerful perspective: joy isn’t created by circumstances, success or material things – it’s already present. The real work is learning how to see it and stop blocking it with unnecessary complexity or stress.
Through his experiences as a husband, father and advisor guiding clients through uncertainty, including COVID and market volatility, Kyle reveals how gratitude, relationships and service have helped him stay steady and fulfilled – even when life gets hard.
Together, Greg and Kyle explore what happens when you stop overcomplicating life… and focus on what actually matters.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why joy isn’t something you create, but something you allow
• How perspective, not circumstance, shapes your experience
• The connection between gratitude and global awareness
• Why treating people well always comes back to you
• How giving and service can become a path to fulfillment
• The role of relationships in creating meaning, stability and joy
• Simple mindset shifts to navigate stress and uncertainty
• How focusing on “the relationship” transforms connection
But beyond the insights, this episode is about something deeper.
6 - The Hidden Power of Awareness and Emotional Control in Joy with Karen Goslin
Saison 1 · Épisode 6
jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 01:01:55
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, host Greg De Koker sits down with therapist, author and transformation expert Karen Goslin for a bold, honest and deeply personal conversation about what it truly takes to break free from the patterns that keep us stuck – and step into a life of intentional joy.
From hitting rock bottom through illness, loss and heartbreak to building a life rooted in freedom, purpose and impact, Karen shares how doing the inner work doesn’t just change how you feel – it changes everything.
At the heart of this conversation is a powerful realization: the stories you’ve been telling yourself may not be true – and rewriting them is the key to unlocking your joy.
Together, Greg and Karen explore what happens when you stop reacting to life through old wounds… and start responding with awareness, accountability and intention.
• How hidden narratives from your past shape your present – and how to rewrite them
• Why your brain creates inaccurate stories during painful moments (and how to correct them)
• Simple, practical tools to interrupt triggers and respond with clarity instead of reaction
• The connection between discipline, self-care and your ability to experience joy
• How reframing pain can open the door to freedom, passion, and possibility
But beyond the tools, this episode is about something deeper.
It’s about awareness. It’s about ownership. It’s about getting out of your own way.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of what’s holding you back, this conversation will challenge your thinking, ground you in practical action, and remind you that change is always possible – no matter where you’re starting from.
5 - Why Joy Is the Missing Link in High Performance and Leadership with Tracey Swanepoel and Co-host Wray Carvelas
Saison 1 · Épisode 5
jeudi 23 avril 2026 • Durée 35:19
On this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, host Greg De Koker and co-host and Title Sponsor, Wray Carvelas, sit down with strategy and culture expert Tracey Swanepoel for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation on the true role of joy in leadership, performance and everyday life.
With decades of experience spanning business, storytelling and organizational transformation, Tracey brings a rare ability to simplify complexity and reconnect people to what matters most. Her work is rooted in a simple but often overlooked truth: when people feel seen, heard and genuinely connected, everything changes.
At the heart of this conversation is a powerful reframe:
Joy isn’t the reward at the end of the journey. It’s the fuel that makes everything else possible.
Together, we explore what happens when leaders move beyond chasing outcomes – and instead create environments where purpose, meaning and human connection can thrive.
Because when that shift happens, performance doesn’t suffer. It expands.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why joy is a foundational driver of performance – not just a “nice to have”
• How storytelling and simplicity can align teams and bring strategy to life
• The power of helping people feel truly seen, heard and valued
• Why the smallest “micro-moments” of joy matter more than big wins
But this conversation goes beyond leadership.
It’s about awareness. It’s about connection. It’s about how you choose to show up – every single day.

Saison 1 · Épisode 13
jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 01:09:14
In this episode of the JOY² – Live With Joy Podcast, Greg De Koker sits down with Gord Carter, Leadership Development Coach and President & Co-Founder of L3 Solutions, for a thoughtful and insightful conversation about joy, leadership, personal growth, and what it means to live with intention.
Many people spend years chasing happiness, believing it exists somewhere in the future – after the next promotion, achievement or milestone. Gord offers a different perspective. He explains why joy isn't something we discover by adding more to our lives, but often by removing the beliefs, expectations and distractions that prevent us from experiencing it.
Together, Greg and Gord explore the difference between happiness and joy, the myth of work-life balance, and the critical role self-awareness plays in both effective leadership and personal fulfillment. They discuss the importance of curiosity, accountability and presence, and why meaningful relationships are often at the heart of a joyful life.
In this episode, we explore:
• The difference between happiness and lasting joy
• Why work-life balance may be the wrong goal
• How expectations often create disappointment and frustration
• The role of self-awareness in leadership and personal growth
• Why curiosity is essential for learning and development
• How being fully present transforms relationships
• The connection between purpose, peace and fulfillment
• Practical ways to remove barriers that block joy
More than a conversation about leadership, this episode invites us to rethink how we define success and where we seek fulfillment. Gord shares insights gained from decades of coaching leaders and helping people create lives that are more intentional, meaningful and aligned with their values.

If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to stay connected and subscribe to the "JOY² – Live With Joy" Podcast so you never miss a conversation designed to help you live, work and lead with more joy – intentionally.
Take a moment to reflect on where you’ve been treating joy as something to “get to later.” Where are you waiting for the promotion, the financial milestone, or the perfect moment?
Now flip the question: what would it look like to lead with joy today, exactly where you are?
Choose one small shift. One decision. One action that aligns more closely with the life you actually want to live and take it.
Action Tip
Create a simple “Joy Filter” for your decisions this week. Before saying yes to something, ask:• Does this align with what matters most to me?• Will this move me toward the life I want or away from it?• Can I show up to this with energy, presence, and intention?
If the answer is no, pause. Joy isn’t found in doing more - it’s found in choosing better.
Joy isn’t somewhere out there waiting for you. It’s already within you – waiting to be felt again.

Inspired by this conversation? Start where Emmy starts: with yourself.
Today, pause and check in – not with your to-do list, but with your state.
Ask yourself: “What do I need right now to feel even 5% more like me?”Then give yourself permission to follow that – whether it’s a breath, a walk, music or movement.
Because joy doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from coming back to yourself.
Action Tip
When you feel stuck in your head, shift your state through your body.
Stand up. Shake it out. Take a deep breath. Move – intentionally, even for 30 seconds.
You don’t need to solve everything. You just need to shift your energy.
Joy isn’t something you figure out. It’s something you feel your way back into.
This conversation will challenge your assumptions – and invite you to lead in a way that changes everything.
Because when leaders choose joy first, everything else follows.

Inspired by this conversation? Start where Wray starts: with people.
Today, choose one person you lead, work with, or care about – and intentionally show them that they matter. Not through a task or transaction, but through genuine connection.
Ask a better question. Listen a little longer. Be fully present.
Because leadership doesn’t begin with strategy. It begins with how you show up for people.
Action Tip
Before your next meeting or conversation, pause for 10 seconds and ask yourself:
“How do I want this person to feel after interacting with me?”
Then lead from that intention. Joy, care and connection aren’t accidental – they’re chosen. And they’re contagious.
Be the reason someone experiences more joy today.

If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to the "JOY² – Live With Joy" Podcast so you never miss a conversation designed to help you live, work and lead with more joy – intentionally.
Take a moment to reflect on the environment you create for the people around you.
Ask yourself:
• Do people feel valued and supported around me?
• Am I bringing positive energy into conversations?
• What barriers or frustrations could I help remove?
• Am I celebrating progress – or only focusing on problems?
Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest cultural change.
Action Tip
This week, choose one intentional leadership action:
• Recognize someone sincerely and specifically
• Ask a teammate what’s getting in the way of them doing great work
• Replace criticism with curiosity
• Celebrate a small win with your team
• Pay attention to the energy you bring into the room
Because leadership isn’t just about results.
It’s about how people experience the journey getting there.
It’s about perspective.
It’s about simplicity.
It’s about remembering what you already have.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, caught in negativity or chasing the next thing, this conversation will help you reset and reconnect with the joy already in front of you.
Because as Kyle reminds us:
Joy isn’t something you find later – it’s something you allow right now.

Take a moment to notice a story you’ve been telling yourself – especially one that shows up when you feel triggered, stressed or not enough.
Ask yourself: is this actually true… or is this something I created in a moment of pain?
Now consider a different perspective. A more accurate, grounded and empowering version of that story.
This is where change begins.
Action Tip
Practice creating a “pause” the next time you feel triggered.
Before reacting, try this simple sequence:
• Notice what’s happening in your body and mind
• Interrupt the reaction (even with something physical, like taking a breath or shifting your focus)
• Ask yourself: What do I know to be true right now?
• Choose a response that aligns with what you really want – not just how you feel in the moment
Joy isn’t about eliminating triggers – it’s about learning how to move through them with intention.
And the more you practice, the more natural it becomes.
If you’ve ever felt caught in complexity, disconnected from purpose, or stuck chasing results that don’t truly fulfill you, this episode offers a powerful reset.
Because as Tracey reminds us:
The joy you experience along the way is far more powerful than any result you achieve at the end.
Take a moment to notice where you’ve been treating joy as something secondary – something that comes after the work is done or the goal is achieved.
Where are you postponing it?
Now flip it.
What would change if joy became your starting point instead of your destination?
Today, choose one moment – at work, at home, or in a conversation – where you intentionally bring more presence, more connection and more humanity into the experience.
Not later.Right there, in the middle of it.
Action Tip
This week, lead with intention before you lead with action.
Before your next meeting, conversation or task, pause and ask:
• How can I simplify this?
• How can I help someone feel seen or heard?
• Where can I create a moment of real connection?
Small shifts create big ripple effects.
Joy isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you create – moment by moment, interaction by interaction.
If you've ever felt like joy is always just beyond your reach, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: the life you're searching for may already be available when you stop chasing more and start paying attention to what matters most.
