Do you gauge the quality of your work, content, and life by how "fun" it is? Weird secret - I used to HATE being asked what I did "for fun." In this episode, I share how I started taking the theory and pursuit of fun more "seriously" (lol) as a daily practice and how it's changed everything. I discovered how asking this one question "What is the most fun thing I could do?" can breathe magic into your environmental work, expand your creativity, and unexpectedly redirect you more closely to your true calling. I share more on the theory of fun, the dopamine system, and how the pursuit of fun is an essential driver of innovation and growth.
