We discuss how we can create this sort of environment for our kids.Mike’s book is Playborhood.Mike’s website.Mike Lanza on Twitter, @PlayborhoodDescribe your play as a child.Give a little bit of your background moving from PA to the Bay Area.When you were about to become a dad, you began to search for a way to let your kid (and now kids) have a similar experience.
