The National Institute for Play

My guest today has spent her life inside the idea of play.

Mia Sundstrom is the CEO of the National Institute for Play, the organization founded by her grandfather, Dr. Stuart Brown.

She champions play as a public health necessity across the entire lifespan, grownups too.

Mia brings something rare to this work, the research and the science, but also the lived generational understanding and a real gift for storytelling.

... really have a full-bodied experience are my favorite kinds of places to be in.

Exactly.

So you are the CEO of the National Institute for Play.

Like, what does that mean? What do you do on a daily basis?
