What happens when you mix Lego, business strategies, and playful creativity? Join us as we uncover the secrets with Tim Kroll, a seasoned business strategist and team-building expert who gained fame from season two of Lego Masters. Tim recounts his unique journey to the show, highlighting the special bond and collaborative spirit he shared with his son. Discover how Tim masterfully incorporates Lego into his workshops to break down barriers and nurture creativity, and learn how he teaches vital business concepts through engaging hands-on activities.

Ever felt like you don't fit into the cookie-cutter mold of traditional education? You're not alone! This episode dives deep into the value of individuality and the often restrictive nature of conventional schooling. Tim and I discuss how embracing unique problem-solving skills and adaptability can lead to more effective and innovative outcomes. Using metaphors like basketball plays and coat hangers, we illustrate how foundational principles can support dynamic, personalized strategies in life and work, encouraging you to balance structure with flexibility.

Transitioning from a secure corporate job to a creatively fulfilling career can be daunting, but Tim shares his journey that beautifully captures this emotional rollercoaster. We talk about the illusions of job security, especially highlighted during the pandemic, and the importance of following one's passion. Adding a playful twist, we engage in a fun game of "Survey Says" and share intriguing Lego trivia, all while emphasizing the balance between intentionality and fun. Tune in for a compelling conversation that champions the significance of serious play in achieving a purpose-driven and enjoyable life.
