What if the key to unlocking better results—in business, sports, and life—wasn’t about pushing harder, but about bringing more fun into the process?
In this episode of WTF: Where’s the Fun?, we’re debunking the cultural myth that fun is frivolous—and proving why that couldn’t be further from the truth. From corporate boardrooms to championship hockey games, we’re sharing real-life stories of how choosing fun over frustration has led to massive breakthroughs.
Andrea shares a powerful moment with a CEO who had spent decades believing that fun was an afterthought—until he realized it was the missing ingredient for a thriving, high-performing team. Mel takes us behind the scenes of her NCAA hockey days, where a losing streak turned into an unforgettable winning moment—all because their coach decided to ditch the drills and bring the joy back into the game.
In this episode, we explore:
✨ How fear and frustration keep us stuck in cycles of burnout
✨ Why fun isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a game-changer for success
✨ The surprising way a hockey team went from losing streak to sweeping a top-ranked team
✨ Tangible ways to shift your energy and bring the joy back into your work and life
