What happens when you refuse to grow up completely? In this episode, we explore a simple but powerful idea: “Be 90% kid and 10% adult—just know when to act what.”

In a world that equates professionalism with seriousness, we challenge the notion that maturity means losing your sense of humor. From engineering offices to tense project meetings, we unpack how a little playfulness—like a harmless “Over/Under” bet on meeting length—can break down walls, build trust, and make work more human.

Because being responsible doesn’t require being rigid. You can be disciplined and joyful. Strategic and silly. A war general who loves to giggle.

Listen in as we talk about balancing competence with curiosity, leadership with levity, and why the best teams aren’t just productive—they actually enjoy working together.
