Welcome to Lifelong Happiness
Breathe deeper. Shine Brighter. Live happier.
Hi, I’m Ricky Powell…Â
an author, speaker, corporate trainer, and success coach with a passion for helping others achieve lasting happiness and fulfillment.
Long before Happiness Rocks became a book, a movement, and a lifestyle, my story began in front of the camera—as a child actor on iconic shows like Bewitched, My Three Sons, and Night Gallery. From a young age, I learned how to connect, entertain, and bring stories to life. That early experience helped shape the way I communicate today—authentically, energetically, and from the heart.
After college, I stayed in the entertainment industry, moving behind the scenes to work in post-production on The Golden Girls for five unforgettable years. That path led me to NBC, where for the next 25 years, I served as the liaison between outside producers and the network’s internal teams, making sure every comedy, drama, and reality show aired seamlessly. My entire professional life has revolved around communication, connection, and bringing meaningful content to audiences.
Now, I’ve turned the page to my encore career: dedicating my life to Lifelong Happiness—a holistic approach to better health, meaningful wealth, and deep, lasting joy.
With decades of experience in personal development, I’ve built a career rooted in authenticity, honesty, kindness, and goodness. My guiding belief? Happiness isn’t just a fleeting emotion—it’s a life skill that can be learned, practiced, and mastered. That conviction inspired me to write Happiness Rocks: A Powerful Blueprint to Master the Art of Lifelong Happiness, which has since helped countless readers reimagine what’s possible.
Beyond my professional mission, I’m a proud husband to my amazing wife Jenna of 33 years and father to two wonderful grown children, Emma and Jack. I believe deeply in the power of gratitude, forgiveness, and service. These values ground my personal life—and fuel my professional work.
At Lifelong Happiness, I offer engaging courses, one-on-one and group coaching, and a thriving mastermind community for people ready to upgrade their health, build financial freedom, and design lives filled with meaning and joy. Whether you’re here for a fresh start, deeper purpose, or simply more peace of mind—you’re in the right place.
