Drop the F-Bomb in Your Business is a book that delves into the impact of a company’s culture on productivity and employee retention, as well as how to create a positive and enjoyable work environment. What motivated you to write this book?

My love for business and all things fun and silly really drove me to write this book. I constantly reflect on the common themes among successful businesses and I’ve discovered businesses that have the most fun, are the most successful and healthiest. I knew that if I could frame that concept as a business strategy, it would not only be easy and exciting to implement, but could begin to positively impact the business community for generations to come.

The need to move away from traditional corporate culture in order to remain relevant in today’s world raises the question of why this shift in corporate mindset is necessary. What do you believe are the reasons behind this change from the established norm?

Our new workforce is demanding the change. We see those demands in the form of memes, videos, and social media posts. Work behaviors and trends like “quiet quitting”, firing your boss, and “ghosting” are becoming normal and shows us that traditional business cultures and themes aren’t resonating. In order to keep up with the trends of our incoming workforce, companies need to prioritize workplace happiness and mental health benefits and there’s not better way to do that then with a dose of no strings attached fun!

What is one measure that businesses can start with to establish a conducive work environment that attracts talented employees and encourages their long-term retention while minimizing turnover using The Fun First Strategy™?

The principle of P.L.A.Y. is a core concept of The Fun First Strategy and encourages leaders and business owners to “Prioritize Laughter And Youth.” What that means is to encourage an environment and culture that is centered around laughter and positive expression, recalling games, activities, and events from your youth that can built into fun engagements with your team and colleagues.
