S4 E3: Make Hard Work Fun
In this episode, Dale and Brian dive into the axiom: Make hard work fun. They talk about how making work enjoyable is key to staying motivated and avoiding burnout. When you find ways to enjoy what you're doing, it’s easier to keep going, push through challenges, and come out on top.
Dale and Brian break down why it’s all about balance. Hard work and no fun is drudgery. All fun and no work is a vacation. If you can find a way to combine the two, that’s the sweet spot.
They also open up about how, when building ForeverLawn, they made sure to create a workplace that didn’t just feel like a job—it was a place they actually wanted to be. And of course, they stayed committed to working hard to make it all happen.
Tune in for some real talk on why work can—and should—be fun if you want to keep going the distance!
