Episode description

In Ep 123 we put forward some questions that Brené Brown offered us that I had to research. She called it Wholehearted adult play. And I was really struck by this: Play? Do I play? Do I play enough? What is play anyway? I was kind of terrified I wasn’t fun or playing in my life!

So I found there’s an actual National Institute for Play (NIFP) which is a non-profit public benefit corporation dedicated to advancing society’s understanding and application of play — a long-ignored biological capability that can lead to healthier, happier lives.

I also think that the best bosses I ever had were very playful. One of them was so good at it, she did a side gig as a stand-up comic and was quite good! Corporate life gave her lots of great material.
