When you're having fun or working in your genius, time speeds up. Have you ever gone to work and said, I can't believe how fast this day has gone by? It's usually because you're working in your genius, and that means you're having fun. If your employees aren't having fun, it's like, well, let's give them more perks or have more social time. Those are the generic surface level fun. But when you give people the opportunity to have fun in what they're doing, everything changes. It's like, how do I, by understanding somebody's working genius, make their job fun for them? Welcome to the Working Genius podcast, where we discuss anything and everything having to do with the six types of working genius and how it impacts your work and your life. I'm Pat. I got Cody here.

All right, I'm your co host. Joined by my co host. Okay. Working genius is fun. What a lame title, right? It sounds so obvious, and yet it's not. This is really interesting because the point here is that when you really think about it, when we say fun and people think about amusement parks and, like, you know, generic things, one person's fun is another person's misery. And a great way to look at life is that we are meant to have fun as much as we can. And. And it's usually your working genius that helps us figure out what that is. Right, Cody?

Yeah, I actually like kind of leaning into this angle a little bit more, Pat, because we often talk about the joy and energy. I think even in the world of work, people are using. They use different language for this. Some people, I think, call it like, oh, there's a flow state, or there's a. We're all trying to find the right language for saying, what is it like when you are working, what's supposed to not be necessarily fun, but you're enjoying it? And I think it Has a lot to do with working genius and the type of work that you're doing.
