Loading player...
What happens when you bring together movement, music, science and community… with one intention: happiness?

In this episode, Kate Thompson-Duwe reflects on the creation of Sunshine People - and why it represents something bigger than just an event.

We explore:
- The inspiration behind Sunshine People
- Why joy is at the centre of everything we’re building
- The power of combining movement, music and connection
- What happens when people come together with shared energy
- Why this is just the beginning of a much bigger movement

This is not just a recap - it’s a window into the philosophy behind what we’re creating. If you’ve ever felt the power of being in the right room, with the right people - this episode will resonate deeply.

Happiness is not something you chase alone.
It’s something you experience together.
Joy is the new performance metric.
