In this boundary-breaking episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice Chism is joined by innovator and mindset disruptor Jared Jennings to challenge a common trap—conformity.Jared shares his journey of rejecting expectations, embracing creative thought, and building a life that defies the rules others try to impose. From business to belief systems, he explains why thinking outside the box isn't just a mindset—it's a way of life.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone tired of fitting into molds that don't match their purpose. If you're ready to live boldly, create differently, and redefine success on your own terms—this one's for you.

In this episode, Devin McNulty, founder of Funmentum Labs and creator of Funware, joins us to explore what happens when you treat fun not as fluff—but as a powerful lever for doing serious work.After 15 years of leading high-stakes strategy and innovation workshops for Fortune 500 teams, Devin set out to scale his approach. The result: Funware, an AI-powered facilitation tool that helps hybrid teams run faster, more creative workshops—without needing a pro facilitator in the room. He shares how it works: from AI that rephrases vague challenges into crisp prompts, to bots that throw out just-bad-enough ideas to unlock new thinking.We dive into the deep end of design choices—why Devin treats AI like a co-facilitator, not a thought partner, and how he builds in levity and timing to shift posture in skeptical rooms. He talks about “pre-training” AI the same way you'd brief a human teammate, and what it means to productize your own facilitation brain.The conversation is also a blueprint for AI-first entrepreneurship: how to turn creative intuition into software, how to build with (and not for) users, and how to design tools that spark real interaction—not just outputs.Whether you're leading workshops, building internal tools, or trying to make your team more idea-generative, this episode is packed with insights on creative AI, team dynamics, and the future of facilitation.Key Takeaways:Fun Is a Strategic Tool—Not a Distraction – Devin challenges the assumption that “fun” and “serious work” are at odds. His facilitation method uses play to unlock alignment, compress timelines, and spark better ideas—especially in rooms that normally resist creative approaches.AI Can Facilitate, Not Just Assist – Most teams use AI as a solo tool or sidekick. Devin flips the script—designing AI to act like a group facilitator. Funware injects prompts, rephrases challenges, and even drops well-timed bad ideas to shift group dynamics and drive progress.Pre-training Your AI Is Like Prepping a Human Teammate – One of Devin's biggest insights: treat your AI agents like collaborators. Build them with clear intent, layer in prompting strategy, and fine-tune them for the moment they'll be used—just like you'd brief a co-facilitator before a workshop.Productizing Yourself Is the New Playbook – Devin's journey is a case study in AI-first entrepreneurship—turning deep craft into software. His advice? Start with your workflow, atomize it into repeatable components, and build tools that deliver value with the push of a button.Website: Funmentum™ LabsLinkedIn: Devin McNulty | LinkedIn00:00 Intro to Funmentum Labs & Funware00:38 Why Fun Is a Powerful Work Strategy01:41 Overcoming Skepticism in Serious Workplaces02:27 Techniques to Engage Resistant Teams06:32 Can AI Be Funny?

What if the key to innovation lies in embracing the absurd? In this episode, we sit down with David Carson, creator of Dumbify, to explore how “thinking dumber” can unlock powerful creative breakthroughs. Challenging conventional notions of identity and intelligence, we examine how embracing the fear of looking foolish fosters curiosity, adaptability, and deeper problem-solving skills.Together, we navigate the societal constraints that suppress unconventional thinking, uncovering how a beginner's mind and unresolved psychological patterns influence creativity. From Montessori classrooms to cutting-edge tech spaces, we discuss the environments that nurture curiosity, allowing us to accept uncertainty and reframe “I don't know” as a launchpad for discovery.Expanding beyond creativity, we explore the role of identity, vulnerability, and discomfort in reshaping how we approach challenges. Like an athlete refining their craft, we discover how stepping into the discomfort of new ideas can transform not just our metacognitive processes, but our sense of self. We also examine the balance between humor and harsh judgment, cooperation and competition—revealing how innovation thrives in the middle ground.Through David's insights, we uncover a metacognitive approach to creativity—one that celebrates inquiry, welcomes the unexpected, and redefines intelligence as the courage to process differently.Tune in and discover how exploring “dumb” ideas might just be the smartest move you can make.Highlights(04:03) Embracing Dumb Thinking for Success (114 Seconds)(07:52) Embracing Dumb Ideas for Mindfulness (123 Seconds)(12:06) Overcoming Fear of Looking Stupid (96 Seconds)(21:18) Montessori Education Impact on Learning (71 Seconds)(27:56) Fostering Creativity and Trust in Workplace (100 Seconds)(35:05) The Essence of Mediocrity (49 Seconds)(39:08) Creative Collaborations in Fashion Industry (56 Seconds)(53:25) Innovating Through Frustration and Context (75 Seconds)(57:36) Originality Through Diverse Perspectives (75 Seconds)(01:07:35) Approaching Problems With Fresh Eyes (55 Seconds)Chapters(00:00) - Thinking Dumber(07:29) - Embracing Mindfulness for Creative Thinking(13:19) - Reimagining Identity and Productive Thinking(17:37) - Fostering a Curious Mind(21:18) - Creating a Curious and Collaborative Environment(27:22) - Navigating Judgment for Creative Innovation(35:55) - Exploring Middle Ground and Creativity(46:11) - Navigating Self-Identity in Problem Solving(01:00:16) - Embracing Dumb Ideas for InnovationKeywordsDumbify, Thinking Dumber, Innovation, Creativity, Mindfulness, Beginner's Mind, Curiosity, Identity, Self-Improvement, Judgment, Middle Ground, Humor, Collaboration, Improv, Coopetition, Internal Family Systems, Decision-Making, Iteration, Mistakes, Business CultureJOIN US ON INSTAGRAM: @thelightinsidepodcastSUBSCRIBE: pod.link/thelightinsideCredits:Featured Guest: David CarsonExecutive Producer: Jeffrey BeseckerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzMixing, Engineering, Production and Mastering: Aloft Media Studio

In this conversation, Jim talks with Paul Davis talk about the journey of business ownership, emphasizing the transition from being self-employed to becoming a true business owner. They explore the challenges business owners face, the importance of having a clear exit strategy, and the need for accountability and mentorship. The discussion highlights the significance of defining personal and financial goals, as well as the necessity of follow-through in achieving business success. 3 Key Takeaways: Self-Employment vs. Ownership: If you're still running daily operations, you own a job, not a business. Build systems and a management team to escape the grind and create real wealth. Smart Exits, Bigger Payouts: Selling outright often leaves money on the table. Seller financing and structured buyouts can maximize long-term returns and preserve wealth. Profit First, Growth Second: Scaling too fast without strong profits is a recipe for disaster. Lock in financial discipline and operational efficiency before chasing expansion. Paul breaks down how to shift from self-employment to true business ownership. Scaling isn't just about working harder—it's about building a system that runs without you. Are you working in your business or on your business?

hurried into the gymnastiksal.Sv: Det var dags för den årliga vetenskapsmässan.En: It was time for the annual science fair.Sv: Snön låg tjock utanför, men inom dessa väggar var det varmt och livligt.En: The snow lay thick outside, but within these walls, it was warm and lively.Sv: Elin, en tolvårig flicka med ljusblå ögon och hår uppsatt i en lös fläta, bar med sig en kartong full av sina

bästa.En: She was nervous but determined to do her best.Sv: Hennes mål var klart: vinna vetenskapsmässan.En: Her goal was clear: to win the science fair.Sv: Men det fanns ett problem.En: But there was a problem.Sv: Lukas, en klasskamrat som alltid vann tävlingar, hade också deltagit.En: Lukas, a classmate who always won competitions, was also participating.Sv: Hans projekt hade ryktet om sig att

didn't hold.Sv: Hjärtat dunkade i bröstet, men något inuti henne sade att hon inte skulle ge upp.En: Her heart pounded in her chest, but something inside her said not to give up.Sv: Direkt i stunden ledde hon presentationen in på ett annat spår.En: Right in the moment, she guided the presentation in another direction.Sv: "Det här är en möjlighet att visa hur viktiga misstag är i experiment," sade hon till sina åhörare.En: "This is an opportunity to show how important mistakes are in experiments," she said to her audience.Sv: "Det är så vi lär oss och förbättrar våra idéer."En: "It's how we learn and improve our ideas."Sv: Lärarna och eleverna var imponerade av hennes förmåga att hantera situationen.En: The teachers and students were impressed by her ability to handle the situation.Sv:

impressed.Sv: Efter presentationerna närmade sig en av lärarna henne.En: After the presentations, one of the teachers approached her.Sv: "Elin, vi är imponerade av ditt sätt att hantera problem," sade

glad.En: She felt proud and happy.Sv: Lukas gratulerade henne, och hans erkännande kändes nästan som en seger i sig självt.En: Lukas congratulated her, and his recognition felt almost like a victory in itself.Sv: När hon lämnade skolan den dagen kände sig Elin starkare.En: As she left school that day, Elin felt stronger.Sv: Hon insåg att det inte bara handlade om att vinna utan om att våga försöka och att lära sig av sina misstag.En: She realized it wasn't just about winning but about daring to try and learning from her mistakes.Sv: Och framför allt insåg hon vikten av vänskap och samarbete.En: And above all, she realized the importance of friendship and collaboration.Sv: Snön knarrade under hennes fötter när hon gick hem.En: The snow crunched under her feet as she walked home.Sv: Hjärtat var varmt av glädje, precis som värmen inne i skolans gymnastiksal.En: Her heart was warm with joy, just like the warmth inside the school's gymnastiksal.
