Hosted by Guy Kawasaki, the guest Catherine Price explores the concept of fun and its importance in our lives. Catherine defines true fun as a combination of playfulness, connection, and flow. She conducted a survey with over 1,000 participants to gather insights on people's experiences and definitions of fun. Catherine encourages readers to examine their phone usage, set better boundaries with technology, and prioritize activities that bring true joy and fulfillment.
The conversation also touches on the importance of setting boundaries around sleep and protecting the moments before sleep and after waking up. Catherine suggests prioritizing personal well-being over the demands of technology and using the morning for activities like writing, meditating, or reading.
Catherine and Guy discuss the relationship between removing negative influences and adding positive experiences. They also explore the relationship between skill and flow, emphasizing the importance of having a playful attitude and not criticizing oneself while still a beginner.
Catherine acknowledges that the sources of fun may change as we get older and suggests paying attention to relationships that are nourishing or draining. She believes that promoting a fun environment in a company is beneficial for the well-being of employees and the success of the business. This can be done by creating a culture that values and prioritizes fun and encouraging employees to identify their own sources of fun.
In the final moments of the interview, Catherine plays the intro to a song on her guitar, expressing that it was ridiculously fun. The conversation ends on a lighthearted note, with Guy jokingly suggesting that Catherine should retaliate if someone else starts an interview by complaining about the temperature.
