Martellus Bennett - Living Playfully

What this episode covers

At what point do you stop reading self-help books and just start helping yourself? Most people grow out of the playground. Martellus (Marty) Bennett built a life philosophy around it. In this episode, Imamu Tomlinson, MD sits down for an honest conversation with artist, author, and Super Bowl champion, Marty Bennett, a man who turned play into a way of life. He's crafted children’s books, designed worlds, drawn swords (yes, real ones), and founded Tomonoshi (a state of play), Marty has redefined what it means to live, lead, and be a maker. He opens up about why he doesn't consider himself just an athlete, how a spiritual pilgrimage to Japan changed his life, and why the playground teaches us everything we need to know about the world. This is how Martellus Bennett disrupted creativity and play. Welcome to the world of Tomonoshi where play is the way of life. Visit www.imamutomlinson.com to learn more!
