In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, we explore a question that doesn’t get asked often enough: Is there a case for fun at work? Inspired by a story from Amy Poehler’s podcast A Good Hang, where the Parks and Rec team created a playful side project called “Philly Justice,” we dive into how bringing fun into your craft can energize teams, spark creativity, and strengthen culture. We discuss the real benefits of fun at work, from boosting morale to improving collaboration, and share practical ways to weave joy and playfulness into your day-to-day, no matter your role. Tune in to learn how fun isn’t just a perk, it’s a powerful tool for building better workplaces.

In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, we draw inspiration from Bruce Lee’s timeless wisdom: “Be like water.” We explore how this mindset can help us navigate the inevitable obstacles—those “rocks in the river”—that show up in our work and lives. Instead of trying to break down every challenge head-on, what if we learned to flow around them with adaptability and grace? Join us as we discuss how embracing flexibility, emotional agility, and creative problem-solving can make tough situations feel more manageable. Whether you're facing resistance, change, or unexpected roadblocks, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to keep moving forward—just like water.
