Ep. 63: Mike Montague, Chief Instigator at Playful Humans

Today on Be The Good with Kate, I am thrilled to introduce you to Mike Montague, Chief Instigator at Playful Humans. At the end of this episode, I am thrown into a game show! So be sure to play along with me :) Mike is also  the Director of Community Engagement at Sandler, game show host, public speaker, podcaster, and more – And this is a big part of this episode: You don’t have to choose a singular path for your whole life at 17, or 27, or whenever– because you can and will change, grow, learn over the years. Playful Humans is a community designed to help the burned-out and bored get re-energized and engaged with life. Mike’s mission is to help adults discover the power of playing for a living and how to avoid burnout, quiet quitting, or a midlife crisis. Other Takeaways: -Embracing your multiple talents and becoming a unique mix of skills that can market you -Awareness in filling each of your 'tanks', finding a balance-- for Mike, for instance, the human connection vs a lot of alone time behind the computer-- needs to be sure a balance of both. "Watch your energy buckets", even when it comes to working in your passions. - Introvertedness and Extrovertedness - What is a game show battle room?! - How Mike became a game show host - Fun fact: Megatron from The Transformers and the "And now this" voice from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver are the same person, and Mike knows him 😁 -Second week in a row ‘Yes, and’ is referenced! So here’s to rediscovering the power of play in your life. I am looking forward to recording an episode on Mike's podcast in January!
