599: Joy at Work in the Age of AI: The Pain Is Optional (with Bree Groff)

599: Joy at Work in the Age of AI: The Pain Is Optional (with Bree Groff)

"Most people can't remember the last time they went to bed and thought: today was fun."

In this conversation with Bree Groff, author of Today Was Fun, we recenter the conversation on joy, pleasure, and meaning at work. Bree shares why her mom always said, "I have the best days," what it taught her about how we spend our lives, and why fun is not frivolous, it's the driver of creativity, performance, and belonging.

We also dive into the future of work and AI:

  • "If the AI is a train speeding up behind you, don't try to outrun it. Step off the tracks. Be the most human version of yourself."

  • Why we should measure success not only in revenue and customers, but in whether our companies create good days.

  • Why Mondays are not a renewable resource and how leaders can treat each day as a responsibility.

As Bree says: "The pain is optional, and the fun is free."

128: How to eliminate bureaucratic red tape and bad excuses, with Martin Lindstrom

Martin's book THE MINISTRY OF COMMON SENSE: https://amzn.to/3962pE9 Meet New York Times bestselling author Martin Lindstrom (one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People). We interviewed Martin about his new book THE MINISTRY OF COMMON SENSE: How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses, and Corporate BS. Doesn't your workplace drive you crazy when you get cc'ed on irrelevant email chains, invited to unnecessary meetings, or forbidden by company policy to do the exact thing your boss commands you to do? These and many other frustrations stem from the same underlying cause: a lack of common sense! In an interview Martin discusses the most typical roadblocks to common sense: (Bad) customer experience Politics Technology Meetings and Power Points Rules, Regulations, and Policies Compliance and Legal And has remedies for all. Martin Lindstrom is the founder and chairman of Lindstrom Company, a global branding & culture transformation firm, operating across five continents and more than 30 countries. TIME Magazine has named Lindstrom one of the "World's 100 Most Influential People," and for three years running, Thinkers50, has selected Lindstrom to be among the world's top 50 business thinkers. Among the companies he advises are Burger King, Lowes, Boar's Head, Beverly Hills Hotels, Pepsi, Nestle and Google. Lindstrom is the author of seven books including several New York Times bestsellers that have been translated into 60 languages. The Wall-Street Journal praised his book Brand Sense as "one of the five best marketing books ever published," and his book Small Data as "revolutionary," and TIME called his book Buyology "a breakthrough in branding."
