During COVID, there was one “game night” that changed my life.
We were sitting down to learn a new game, when my wife, Leah, made a comment:
“It’s so funny and a bit frustrating playing board games with you, because you’re too good at figuring out how to win at them.”
(Though the last two nights, Leah has kicked my ass in DC Deck Building)
Anyways…
For some reason, Leah’s comment eventually triggered a question in my mind:
“If I’m so good at figuring out how to win at new games, what would it look like if I designed a game for myself (as a player) to play?”
This SINGULAR question changed my life.
More on that another day, but that’s why I’m SO excited to introduce you to today’s guest, Yu-Kai Chou.
Yu-Kai JUST released a brand new book called “10,000 Hours of Play: Unlock Your Real-Life Legendary Success”
TLDR: It’s the ultimate manual for turning your life into a game that you’ll never want to stop playing.
If you’ve never heard of Yu-Kai, I’ve been a fan of his work for over a year now.
Yu-Kai…
- Is considered the leading authority on gamification in the world
- Has impacted 1.5 BILLION users around the world
- Was knighted (and eventually promoted to a duke) by the Joseon Imperial Family of Korea
Today we go DEEP into his work on gamification, focusing specifically on his new book.
If you’re someone that wants to (1) create the biggest impact you’re capable of making and (2) have TONS of fun in the process of doing so…
This is an episode you will NOT want to miss!
