Episode Synopsis

This week's episode is a little off-script—and that's exactly the point. As ambitious women and small-town founders, we often prioritize productivity, progress, and performance... but what about play? In this episode of The Found Podcast (and all month long!), I'm diving into something that doesn't always make the business checklist: fun. Not passive, flopped-on-the-couch-after-a-long-day rest, but real, active, silly, let-your-hair-down, make-a-mess, laugh-til-you-cry fun. You'll hear stories from my scavenger hunt archives (yes, really), how I intentionally brought joy and connection back into my 2024, and why fun isn't frivolous—it's a vital part of leadership, creativity, and life. Because joy isn't a distraction from the work. It's fuel for the work. In this episode, we cover: Why high-achieving women lose connection to fun—and how to get it back The history of my scavenger hunts (yes, including costumes and awards) How disconnection in early 2024 led me to create something just for joy The planning and magic behind our annual TRASHed Scavenger Hunt What happened when a group of grown adults chose laughter, chaos, and friendship on purpose Why "fun" belongs in your business plan—and how to start . 💌 Connect with Molly: Instagram: @mollyknuth Website: mollyknuthmedia.com
