When we talk about high-performing teams, we often focus on what they do. Less often do we pause to reflect on how it feels to be part of one.

I was delighted to be interviewed on the One Million Years of Joy podcast, hosted by @AndreeaVanacker, where we explored “The Key to Thriving Teams.” Our conversation moved beyond tools and frameworks, into the quieter conditions that allow teams to truly thrive: trust that’s built over time, psychological safety that’s practiced daily, and a shared sense of meaning that makes the work worth doing. Joy, we reflected, isn’t a by-product of success—it’s often a prerequisite.

Thank you, Andreea, for holding such a thoughtful and generous space for this dialogue.
