[5:00] Playful/Childlike Spirit 

  • “Life doesn’t have to be so serious. We’re allowed to have fun.
  • “Its about breaking up with the belief that play isn’t productive.”
  • “Play helps you get to the next level not mal intent”
  • “The opposite of play is resistance”
  • “All aspects of your health goes up when more playful” 
  • “Along the journey we stop playing and start competing. Play is no longer play when you are attached to the outcome.”
  • “Play is an immersive experience”
  •  [21:00] Play in the Workplace 

    • "Curious, engaged, and emotionally safe people are highly productive human beings. But people who are compliant, disengaged and emotionally void, just get by."
    • "70 to 80% of people in the workforce today are either disengaged or unengaged. One recently said it's as high as 90%. It wouldn't surprise me because the workforce has become a performance place."
    • "The whole paradigm just pits people against people that have a deeply immersed sense of competition instead of collaboration and the workplace needs more collaboration."
    • [36:00] Play lab experiment with play

      • “We have 43 now independently verified, highly useful experiments.Many of them have to do with games, toys, arts, and crafts storytelling. But in this case, one of the things that I encourage people to do is a tactile exercise that helps mental-pliability.”
      • “Every human is different, but this is one thing I would start with because in general, any time I touch something that I want to manipulate, it allows access to neuro-plasticity.”
      • “Must relax before it can be replaced”
      • [43:00] Play saves the day

        • “There are many modalities for human transformation, and I see play as a modality, but more importantly than a modality”
        • “Next to breathing, which happens automatically, play is right there as a close second”
