Just had to explain "type 2" fun to my boss while...funny because that's pretty much what we're offering to our clients... If you're not an outdoors freak or otherwise familiar with the concept it sums up the experiences that are tough and hard going while you're in them but offer a reward at the end erases those memories, leaving you with a sense of achievement and a desire to do it all over again. Type 2 fun is the learning sweet spot. It challenges you without putting you in danger - it’s often uncomfortable but in ways that also make you feel alive, standing with a grin on top of the mountain you've just scaled. When we work with veterinary practice owners to address the issues that are holding them back, they will often go through a difficult phase as they pull apart and reset their teams and processes. It's a ripping off the band aid moment. It's certainly not fun at the time but the rewards to their practices and employees afterwards are always worth the effort. Running a vet practice is rarely going to be the hedonistic "type 1" fun but we can certainly help bring the benefits of the other kind!

That pretty much describes Muay Thai, my “type 2”! Love the comparison with resetting teams and processes.
