How important has "play" been in your daily life? Today's guest is the king of play (& shimmies), Jeff Harry, and as a coach & international speaker, he travels the world talking to major companies like Google, Amazon, and Southwest Airlines about how to tap into their true selves while embracing their happiness and fulfilling lives. We as adults spend a lot of time pretending to be important, serious grownups, but it's when we let that facade down and just play, that the real magic in our lives begins to happen.Jeff & I, get into how play and travel mix, the importance of unleashing our inner child on both our physical and mental health and how play can help you find your purpose in life.
