John and Ben have free flowing discussion on the differences between using humour and being serious in various contexts, whether at work or at home. We talk about the complexity and the importance of both context an nuance and how difficult it can be to get the balance right as well as the upsides and downsides of both approaches. We try to bring it back to humanity and see if there are any sweet spots.

SWEETSPOT SAFARI #4 /|\ humour and seriousness

We live in an increasingly polarised world so where do we go from here? Ben and John are Sweetspot hunters exploring everyday polarities and patterns.  We illuminate opposites, tensions, contradictions, and distinctions and seek to view these through the lens of a Sweetspot. Nuance, both and approaches, relational thinking, integration, synthesis, common ground, and balance are examples of such stances.  We interview diverse guest explorers, who bring a wealth of insight and critical thinking, on this adventure as we search for elusive Sweetspots.
