The Games We Play with Guest Scott Tibbitts

Welcome back, rebels! 

Today’s episode is all about the power of play - and we’re not talking about office politics. 

Instead, we’re exploring how play can transform workplace culture, foster real connections, and create environments where people want to show up. 

Our guest, Scott Tibbitts, has built a legendary people-first culture in the most unexpected of places - space technology!

From launching a company with just $7.20 in hardware store parts to achieving a 99% employee retention rate, Scott knows a thing or two about making work work. 

Highlights:

(4:07) Scott's Career Journey

(35:52) The Role of Play in Business Success

(38:09) Specific Games and Activities

(39:20) Challenges and Adaptations in a Modern Workplace

(43:04) The Role of Leadership in Creating a Playful Culture

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion
Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
