Laurence and I first met Alex over 6 years ago when we went to a conference in Denmark for innovators trying to change the world of business. He\u2019s an amazing guy with an infectious positive energy. When we were over there he invited us to dinner and it was my first experience of Cards Against Humanity. I can\u2019t remember ever laughing so much.\r\n\nAlex\u2019s mission is to bring more happiness and positivity to the world of work. He does this by giving talks and running workshops for companies all across the world. He\u2019s written a number of books and built up a network of positivity professionals who use his materials and resources to impact more businesses. However, after doing this work for 16 years Alex has decided to take a break. He\u2019s found himself having less energy and motivation and is less happy at work, which isn\u2019t a great place to be for a Chief Happiness Officer.\r\n\nListen to this episode to find out how Alex started the business, what it was like in the early days, how it\u2019s grown and why in 2020 he\u2019ll be shutting it down for at least 6 months and maybe, forever.\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/f626752f-2a17-4d32-ad66-f6d777f28ea9/1433674-1584449666318-beaf900ef65e1.jpg"}
