Listen in as Jonathan Peters PhD, illuminates Johan Huizinga's "The Circle of Play," connecting magic 🔮 with science 🧪 on GAMELAYER.fm 🎲 David Kolmer takes the liberty of connecting Dr. Peters insights to his own experience training and working in the theatre world. Gamemaster Kolmer layers on the ideas of "the given circumstances" and the "Magic WHAT IF," as a means to pave forward into the domain of play. Steven Reiss pioneered research into human motivation, culminating in the creation of the Reiss Motivation Profile (RMP), which is widely used by organizations to understand individual motives and improve engagement through tools like the Reiss School Motivation⁠2⁠⁠4⁠.

Jonathan Peters, PhD, is a certified practitioner of the RMP and trained directly under Steven Reiss. He has served as Chief Motivation Officer at Sententia Gamification for over a decade. Peters applied RMP principles internationally, including in South Africa, to enhance instructor productivity and accountability. As the best-selling author of Cavemen Can't Market, Dr. Peters frequently discusses how the “RMP” influenced his transition from academia to marketing and then to corporate gamified learning environments⁠3⁠⁠7⁠.
