Joy talks about Attention & Focus. How to stretch out these essential ingredients to be more productive, guard your energy, time and common beliefs that keep us on a perpetual scroll.
Learn how to choose better, discover specific techniques to expand your digital, listening and viewing repertoire for better outcomes.
In today's hyper cycle of social media, AI discoveries and everyone broadcasting every tiny detail at maximum volume, how will you choose to spend your time and enact proven methods of self preservation to do human better.
Are you more organic or synthetic?
Joy speaks with Shawn Smith, about chronic disease, his double lung transplants, setting goals with complex health planning and how to stay optimistic.
If health is our wealth then a focussed conversation like this may help you navigate your life challenges with determination and advocacy.
Shawns pulmonary issues started in 1985 when he was 15 years old, was diagnosed with acute respiratory distress syndrome, and spent six months at Children’s Hospital in Seattle where he suffered a stroke and paralysis.
As an adult Shawn was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease - a diagnosis that generally has a 3 to 5 year lifespan and with other conditions spent 20 years oxygen dependant. Shawn was in need of a transplant.
What happens when the body starts to reject these life saving lungs and you are told that you require another set of double lungs?
A really impactful episode that explores the power of tenacity, patience, gratitude and self care.

Nerds of Joy podcast was created in 2019 by Joy Pereira, after a lifetime (23 years) onstage as a professional Stage Manager working with and listening to the very best speakers, thought leaders and influencers of our time.
“When you are in the room wheeling, dealing, presenting and listening to teachings and conversations from the likes of Brene Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert, Martin Seligman, Yoko Ono and His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself, you will have a shift in mindset, beliefs and Being. You will learn to ask better questions, develop curiosity, focus, new ideas, sift through different or contrasting ways of thinking that add to the richness of your life. You may even discover that your thoughts are not your own, and wish to find a deeper centre, a truer north or answers to the reason why?”
Through research, collaborations and crunching data we can find better ways in work, life and business. Through storytelling we can witness and reflect on the challenges, suffering, wisdom and triumphs that makes us uniquely human.
My “Nerd” research is a positive play in being obsessed and particular in interests, to curate and produce the very best information for the listener. My guests are at the peak of their industries but also amazing, generous and authentic humans.
“For us to be successful in our fields we must truly love what we do, especially in this global time of change and disruption. We can also work on how to be more resilient by rising to challenges and persevere in a dynamic and shifting landscape. We can look to others, but more importantly find that the answers are within - if we get really quiet”.
And you know what, if we don’t know exactly the path, that’s okay too. We can listen in to discover clues, to how better serve ourselves and each other. We can look to these conversations to slowly unpick the fabric of our “why we do what we do” and find solace and connection in community.
Thanks for stopping by. For reading on, for being curious, open and a seeker of growth!
