Finding Happiness: From Breakdown to Breakthrough with Todd Patkin

Welcome back to Your Partner In Success Radio. I’m Denise Griffitts, and as always, I’m honored that you’re spending part of your day with us.

Today’s conversation is one that I think will resonate deeply with so many of you—especially if you’ve ever chased success, checked all the boxes, and still found yourself wondering… why don’t I feel happier?

My guest today is Todd Patkin.

Todd is the author of Finding Happiness: One Man’s Quest to Beat Depression and Anxiety, and his story is both powerful and incredibly relatable. From the outside, Todd had everything—business success, financial security, the kind of life many people strive for. But behind the scenes, he was struggling in ways that success alone couldn’t fix.

What makes this conversation so important is that Todd didn’t just face those challenges—he worked through them, and today he helps others do the same as a happiness coach and what he calls a “Chief Happiness Officer.”

We’re going to talk about the hidden cost of perfectionism, why traditional definitions of success often leave us feeling empty, and what it really takes to build authentic happiness—not the kind that looks good on paper, but the kind that actually feels good in your life.

We’ll also dig into practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, the role of giving back, and how we can help the next generation avoid falling into that same pressure trap.

This is an important conversation, and I’m so glad you’re here for it.

The Closers Inner Circle Podcast - What Is Sales Infiltration and How Does it Separate The Master Closer From Everyone Else?

Welcome back to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast. I’m Denise Griffitts, and today, alongside the legendary Ben Gay III, we’re opening the door to something truly exceptional.

This week, we’re diving into The Closers Part 2—and specifically into a piece Ben himself has called the best sales work he has ever written.

Let that sink in for just a moment.

Out of decades of experience, countless deals, and a lifetime immersed in the art and science of selling… this stands above the rest.

It’s called Sales Infiltration.

Now, this isn’t surface-level sales advice. This is about positioning, influence, and entering the mind of your prospect in a way that feels natural, seamless—and incredibly effective.

If you’ve ever wondered why some salespeople seem to glide past resistance while others constantly push uphill, today’s conversation is going to give you answers.

And more importantly, it’s going to give you a method.

So settle in, grab a notebook—because this is one of those conversations you’re going to want to revisit. And be sure to visit Ronzone Books on eBay to order The Closers Parts 1 and 2—widely recognized as the sales bibles. Each copy arrives signed and dated by Ben, and we strongly recommend having them in front of you each week as you follow along.

Navigating the Jungle of Drivers Education with Cheryl Price

Today, we’re diving into a topic most people don’t think about until it’s too late: driver’s education. Not just how to pass a test, but how to create safe, confident drivers — and the real challenges behind the system.

Let me ask you something…

When was the last time you really thought about driver’s education?

Not just learning how to pass a test, but what it actually takes to create safe, confident drivers in a world filled with distractions, overcrowded systems, and not nearly enough resources.

Because here’s the reality. Traffic-related injuries and fatalities are rising, and much of it comes down to distraction, lack of proper training, and systems that simply can’t keep up anymore.

So what happens when someone steps in and decides to fix it?

My guest today, Cheryl Price, is doing exactly that. Today we’re talking about what she calls the “jungle” of driver’s education. The challenges, the gaps, and the opportunities. We’ll also explore what it takes to build a scalable, mission-driven business in an industry that truly matters.

If you’re a business owner, an entrepreneur, or even a parent, this conversation is going to give you a lot to think about.

The Closers Inner Circle Podcast - The Long View with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III

As we close out this 10-part series on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, we’re stepping back to take in the full picture.

Not the quick wins.

Not the short bursts of motivation.

But the long view.

Because real success in sales—the kind that lasts—is never accidental. It’s built over time, through choices, habits, and principles we decide are worth carrying forward.

Longevity is intentional.

And today is about deciding what stays with you. Anyone can sprint.

But the people who truly succeed—the ones who build something meaningful, something sustainable—are the ones who think beyond the moment.

They ask:

What am I building that will still matter a year from now?

What habits am I reinforcing every single day?

What principles are guiding my decisions when no one is watching?

Because success isn’t just what you achieve.

It’s what you sustain.
