In this episode of the Building Better Humans Project, I want to challenge the way you think about fun.

Most people spend their lives chasing what is known as Type One Fun—the things that are enjoyable in the moment. Good food, comfortable weekends, nights out with friends, holidays, entertainment and all the things that make us feel good right now.

But what if the best moments of your life aren't found in comfort?

What if the moments that shape you the most are actually the ones that suck while you're doing them?

In this episode, I unpack the difference between Type One Fun and Type Two Fun. Type Two Fun is the kind of experience that feels hard, uncomfortable and sometimes downright miserable while you're in it. It's the challenge you almost didn't take on. It's the adventure that pushed you to your limits. It's the difficult conversation, the tough workout, the mountain climb, the business risk, or the moment you chose courage over comfort.

I've seen it countless times on the Kokoda Track, on Mount Kilimanjaro and through years of working with people who are trying to become the best version of themselves. The experiences people complain about the most while they're happening often become the stories they treasure the most afterwards.

Because growth doesn't live inside your comfort zone.

We live in a world that has become obsessed with convenience, comfort and instant gratification. The problem is that comfort rarely changes us. Challenge does. Adversity does. Pushing yourself beyond what you thought was possible does.

Throughout this episode, I share some personal stories and lessons from the adventures, challenges and experiences that have taught me this lesson time and time again. More importantly, I challenge you to look at your own life and ask yourself whether you've become too comfortable.

If you're looking for more confidence, resilience, growth and fulfilment, the answer may not be found in making life easier. It may be found in deliberately choosing the harder path.

The truth is, the best stories of your life are rarely written when everything is easy.

They're written when you decide to embrace a little more Type Two Fun.

Enjoy the episode.
