217. Happiness at Home with Michael Perry | From the Vault 💌

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” – Jane Goodall Welcome to our final episode of 2024! This is the first of two 'from the vault' episodes we'll be publishing during the holiday season; the second will be out on 7th January. If you’re a parent, you’ll know that keeping your family happy, your house organized, and your own stress levels down is almost impossible... However, our guest today is on a mission to solve that problem once and for all. Michael Perry is the founder and CEO of tech startup Maple, an acronym for Make All Parents Lives Easier. After becoming a father in 2020, Michael launched Maple as a free mobile app to change the world of parenting and have your home running like a well-oiled machine. Already, Maple has partnered with more than 70 brands and has more than 80,000 users in the US and Canada alone. Michael is also extremely open about his struggles with anxiety and negative self-talk, which is certainly refreshing in the world of filters and facades. In this episode: • The biggest contributors to household stress and conflict • How to balance business with family • The biggest mistakes parents make (and how to fix them) • How you can use technology to bring more happiness into the home. 🍿 Let’s WIN THE DAY with Michael Perry! _ Episode links: 🔥 Download Maple ⁠⁠(free app)⁠⁠ ⚡ Maple ⁠website⁠ 📷 Maple ⁠Instagram⁠ 📝 Maple ⁠Facebook⁠ 🎬 Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Win the Day YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ channel 💚 Give the Win the Day podcast a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠5-star rating on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙏 Give the Win the Day podcast a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠5-star rating on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ _ Timemarkers: 0:43 Who is Michael Perry 2:08 The fountain of self-belief 4:18 First job 6:17 Battle with anxiety – and how to rise above it 11:23 Negative self-talk and inner peace 14:10 Embrace your problems 16:32 How becoming a parent changes your life 18:19 What are you geedy for 20:04 Whether to prioritize your own life or your children’s 22:30 How to understand your purpose 24:17 Who are you willing to be a servant to 27:34 Daily routine and self-care 33:37 Origins of building Maple 38:02 Technology and parenting 41:10 The truth about life as an entrepreneur 44:00 Launch a free app vs a paid app 46:34 The biggest problems in the home today (and how to solve them) 50:15 Redefining masculinity and what taking care of your home looks like 52:31 Best tips for a happier home 57:05 Who are you giving the best version of yourself to 1:01:20 Rocket Round _ Want to support the show? 1.
