Dream Big

Dr. Orin Davis helps people become the best versions of themselves. Formally, Orin was the first person to get a doctorate in positive psychology. He is the Principal Investigator at the Quality of Life Laboratory and a self-actualization engineer. He also serves as Head of Behavioral Science at Vervo and is a science advisor to Happify. Jokingly, in our conversation, Orin mentioned that he is a Chief Bullshit Officer - a.k.a he calls people out on their bullshit. Topics are plentiful in this one. Enjoy the deep dive!
