Trinny Woodall
About this episode

Trinny is joined by entrepreneur, author and AI expert Mo Gawdat.


Welcome to Fearless, the empowering podcast that tells the stories of inspirational people who have overcome challenges and fears in their lives in order to thrive. 


After a 30 year career in tech, including a stint as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has made happiness his primary topic of research. An international bestselling author and podcast host, he is also the co-founder of Unstressable and founder of One Billion Happy, which he established after the tragic loss of his son Ali in 2014. Together, Mo and Trinny delve into his motivations for researching happiness, the profound impact that his children have had on him, and his latest mission – to take one million people out of stress. They take a closer look at his latest book Unstressable, in which Mo and co-author Alice Law help readers build the skills they need to overcome stress and transform their lives. 


Plus, they discuss practising gratitude, the distinction between fear and anxiety, and why happiness is a prerequisite to success.
