What if play was not simply frivolous, but had an exponential impact on your capacity to learn, transform, and experience joy and fulfilment?
This is what I discuss with Mike Montague this week.
Mike is the founder of Playful Humans, a community designed to help the burned-out and bored get re-energized and engaged with life. His mission is to help adults rediscover the power of play and avoid a midlife crisis. He is also a game show host, public speaker, podcaster, and writer, which has created opportunities for him to MC, and DJ for live events including opening for Billy Idol, Frankie Valli, and MC-ed at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill.
Here's what to look out for:
The tension between a completely optimised life and the spontaneity of play. And what we can do about it.
The impact ‘pushing’ or ‘forcing’ tends to have on bringing forth creativity, flow and serendipity.
How karaoke can be a metaphor for life.
What 12 year old Mike would say about interviewing Art Bell founder of Comedy Central.
How learning to be comfortable being ridiculous had transformative effects on both our lives.
How fear is the number 1 killer of fun, as well as what Billy Idol taught Mike about fear.
Why wanting all green lights in life is a fool’s game.
How virality these days happens off social media.
The beauty of divergent thinking vs seeking the one right answer.
Why we need to embrace being playful humans.2 key questions to consider whilst listening:
How is play relevant to who you are really?
How can I bring more gamification to my life?
