In this episode of Deeper Connections, Travis Norman sits down with Jimmy Meyer, Senior National Sales Director at Primerica, for a conversation that centers on something simple but easy to lose sight of—happiness is a choice.They talk through what that actually looks like in real life, not in theory. How your attitude shows up in your work, how it affects the people around you, and how quickly it can shift the energy of a team. It’s less about being positive all the time and more about being intentional, especially when things aren’t going your way.The conversation moves between leadership, personal responsibility, and the small decisions that shape how you show up each day. Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to get through a tough shift, it’s a reminder that you have more control over your mindset than you think.
