If you're tired of hustle culture, feeling burnt out, or wondering why life feels a little flat, you're in the right place.

Hosted by Jodi Salmond - marine scientist, playful leadership coach, and author of The Element of Play - this podcast explores why play is far more important than most of us have been led to believe.

Through honest conversations, practical tools, research-informed insights, and a healthy dose of curiosity, the show explores how play can help us reconnect with our energy, creativity, courage and sense of aliveness.

If you're ready to feel more connected, more human and a little less beige, follow the show and join us.

Connection Isn't Staged

What if the best thing you can do for a relationship is get curious about the person again? In this episode, Domenic Fusca and I talk about connection, curiosity, events, creativity and why putting people in the same room does not mean they connect. We explore how familiarity quietly replaces curiosity, why people only share when they feel safe, and what changes when you ask one more question.

Play of the Week

Ask someone you know well something you do not already know the answer to. Then ask one more question.
