Creating Your Own Happiness

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2026/02/24

In today's episode: We tend to chase success, wealth, and status, but happiness comes down to feeling loved and connected. Loneliness is an adaptive emotion that is a signal that something's missing.

But you can be the driver of your own happiness by being curious and making people feel seen--and that can still drive results. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a

Gallup No Long Reporting on Presidential Approval...

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2026/02/19

In today's episode:The news is in: after 80+ years, Gallup will no longer be reporting on presidential approval ratings. They weren't clear on whether this was the result of governmental pressure.

The bottom line: data is only as strong as the trust surrounding it. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where

In today’s episode:The more "advanced" we get, the more we lose track of the fundamentals. The secret to success at work remains kindness and trust. Authenticity is key.

The Invisible Exchange Between Leaders and Employees

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

The WaPo Massacre

2026/02/11

In today’s episode:The Washington Post just laid off a huge chunk of their journalists. Owner Jeff Bezos says it's a decision driven by the data.

Surrendering in the workplace

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2026/02/06

CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel ·

2026/01/30

In today's episode:The total number of people using AI at work remains flat, while half of American workers say they're not using AI at all. There's AI stratification.

The number one barrier to AI adoption isn't fear, but a lack of perceived usefulness. Stop measuring adoption and start mapping work. Get honest about how work gets done, and where AI
