All About Joy

Welcome! I'm Richard Fertig.

I created this channel to teach hospitality investing and short-term rental strategies. But over the years, I realized the real question isn't "how do we make money from real estate?"—it's "what makes life worth living?"

So now, this channel is about both:
AllAboutJoy: The science and practice of joy through voluntary challenge, intentional recovery, and meaningful experiences.
(New content exploring neuroscience, personal stories, and practical frameworks for living fully)

What you'll find here:
- The neuroscience of joy and fulfillment
- Lessons from hiking Tour du Mont Blanc, building properties, living intentionally
- Hospitality investment strategies and market insights
- Behind-the-scenes from our properties
- Conversations with interesting people doing meaningful work
