We connect to Joy Units in our own way it could spending time with a friend, creative inspiration or as simple as a memory coming back to you. It could could buying something you love or meeting a successful goal its an X factor thing that maybe you can't touch it but you can, it could be a feeling, it could be a thought it could be a vibe or it could be a tangible thing that you buy. Whatever it is it truly gives you joy.

I talk with Chris Dancy the world's most connected person
We first met in 2014 when I was at Air New Zealand and we brought Chris over to New Zealand to talk at a social media breakfast and events with the leadership and Exec team. At the time Chris was talking about existence as a platform and Big Mother. Chris explained these ideas and throughout our talk we discuss where he thinks we are in the digital evolution. We also talked about life changes since COVID-19 arrived, Spiritual Technology, Mental health, wellness and a holistic life. Chris shared his personal mantra to help being centred and grounded - "No place to go. No one to be. Nothing to do." You can reach Chris here https://www.chrisdancy.com
Featured on Showtime’s Dark Net, the cover of Businessweek, interviewed by the Wall Street Journal, NPR, the BBC, Fox News and Wired. Purveyor of TED talks. Subject of TED talks. Chris Dancy is touted as “the Most Connected Man on Earth,” and the world is watching those connections carefully. For 25 years, Dancy has served in leadership within the technology and healthcare industries, specializing in the intersection of the two. Chris entered the public dialog concerning digital health as the media started to focus on wearable technology. He earned his moniker by utilizing up to 700 sensors, devices, applications, and services to track, analyze, and optimize his life--from his calorie intake to his spiritual well-being. This quantification enables him to see the connections of otherwise invisible data, resulting in dramatic upgrades to his health, productivity, and quality of life.
