What if play was not simply frivolous, but had an exponential impact on your capacity to learn, transform, and experience joy and fulfilment?
\nThis is what I discuss with Mike Montague this week.
\n
\nMike 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.
\n
\nHere's what to look out for:

\n
• The tension between a completely optimised life and the spontaneity of play. And what we can do about it. 
\n
• The impact \u2018pushing\u2019 or \u2018forcing\u2019 tends to have on bringing forth creativity, flow and serendipity. 
\n
• How karaoke can be a metaphor for life. 
\n
• What 12 year old Mike would say about interviewing Art Bell founder of Comedy Central.
\n
• How learning to be comfortable being ridiculous had transformative effects on both our lives. 
\n
• How fear is the number 1 killer of fun, as well as what Billy Idol taught Mike about fear.
\n
• Why wanting all green lights in life is a fool\u2019s game.
\n
• How virality these days happens off social media.
\n
• The beauty of divergent thinking vs seeking the one right answer.
\n
• Why we need to embrace being playful humans.
\n

2 key questions to consider whilst listening:
\n
\nHow is play relevant to who you are really?
\nHow can I bring more gamification to my life?
