Let’s get one thing straight: just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you have to act serious all the time. That suit doesn’t come with a clause that says you must abandon joy and only smile on weekends.
Mike Montague, author of Playful Humans, is here to remind us that not only is laughter allowed in the workplace—it’s necessary. In a recent podcast interview, he shared how humor, silliness, and a little structured chaos can actually help you do your job better.

Here’s how I am using AI as a podcaster to create clips and shorts from my long-form interviews… It is super easy and fun! Thanks to vidyo.ai for featuring me in their Creator Spotlight. There are two significant aspects to consider. First, Playful Humans is designed to be experiential and fun, given the company’s name. It can’t be dull. By showcasing unique moments like jokes and games on my podcast, I can demonstrate the difference in experience compared to other thought leaders or keynote speakers. These moments help establish the brand’s distinctiveness.
