Episode description

What if the secret to unlocking your salon team's innovation, energy, and connection was... play? In this powerful episode, Kati welcomes Mia Sundstrom, Director of Play Transformation at the National Institute for Play, who shares how understanding and embracing your unique "play personality" can lead to peak creativity and workplace culture breakthroughs. Drawing from her background as a Division I athlete, coach, and the legacy of her grandfather Dr. Stuart Brown’s groundbreaking research, Mia explains how play isn’t a distraction from work, it’s a competitive advantage. If you’re a salon owner or leader ready to energize your team and rethink productivity, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
