Best of: A Philosophy of Games That Is Really a Philosophy of Life: Today, we’re re-airing one of my favorite episodes of all time. It was originally recorded in February of 2022, but I've been unable to stop thinking about it ever since. When we play Monopoly or basketball, we know we are playing a game. The stakes are low.

Thi Nguyen, games and gamified systems are everywhere in modern life. Social media applies the lure of a points-based scoring system to the complex act of communication.

Don is an equally powerful leadership speaker and host of the Corporate Competitor Podcast. His sports knowledge is unparalleled, and his book writing process is fascinating. Don has an innate ability to get people to have the courage to open up and be truly vulnerable. To say he is a master at his craft would be an understatement. I first met Don at the National Speakers Associations annual conference in 2018 and have been a huge fan ever since.
