Listen "Interview with Mike Montague"
Episode Synopsis
Let’s PLAY!!! You know that I’m all about Exponential Success. Leveraging success happens when you actively promote (and leave room for) creativity. And the best way to get creative? PLAY!!!
Mike Montague is a master. He grew up with Creative Nerdery - a term from his family about the play they engaged in. Along Mike’s path, he was a DJ, a computer geek, and a radio host. These days, he’s a corporate speaker and occasional Karaoke DJ.
Here are some of the key insights from today’s podcast:
The pressure to have fun can suck the fun out of the situation (wedding, vacation, etc.) So relax a bit. Take the pressure off.
The benefits of play include:
Creativity
Where stress demands that you find that one right answer, play evokes a level of permission to play as a path to seeking alternative answers.
Confidence
Conditioning, both mentally and physically
Communication
Culture - be deliberate about the culture you’re building for yourself
Great memories are made in the dynamic movement between chaos and order
Get away from your usual confines of where you live or work. Get outside!
A.I. might be great. Humans can engage meaningfully with other humans. Play, laugh, build, and know when to break the rules.
