Seven Ways a Successful Ice Pop Company Makes Work Meaningful and How You Can Too

  • ✽

    Living out a powerful story
    Your job isn’t just a job—it’s part of your adventure. Let’s make it a good one.

  • ✽

    Finding freedom in your job
    Spoiler: It doesn’t come from quitting your job, it comes from changing how you see it.

  • ✽

    Taking pride in your work
    Because “good enough” is boring, and excellence is way more fun.

  • ✽

    Slowing down and enjoying the present
    Turns out, working slower can actually get you further (and keep you sane).

  • ✽

    Incorporating play into your workplace
    Who says creativity meetings can’t feel like recess?

  • ✽

    Creating a strong team spirit
    Work with people you’d grab a drink—or a pop—with after hours.

  • ✽

    Finding balance across changing business cycles
    Business has cycles, just like life. Learn to ride the waves instead of fighting them.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

    Gino Wickman
    Author, Traction and Shine, and Creator, EOS®

    Kat Cole
    CEO, AG1

  • “Work Is Fun takes the reader through an incredible journey of ups and downs, zigs and zags, and arrives at an inspiring conclusion: Work is fun. Work is creativity. Work is self-expression. And, in one of the most important distinctions, work is something we should enjoy doing. Steve outlines his vision and opinion on this like only a successful entrepreneur can.”

    David Cummings
    CEO, Atlanta Ventures

    Andrew Wilkinson
    Cofounder, Tiny, and Author, Never Enough

    Lisa Borders

  • "5 stars! Work Is Fun by is an inspiring and refreshing read that challenges conventional ideas about work. Carse's journey from corporate burnout to building a popsicle empire is both hilarious and deeply motivating. His honest storytelling, entrepreneurial insights, and emphasis on joy and creativity in business make this a must read for anyone looking to reimagine their relationship with work. Highly recommend!"

    Michael Rose

  • "What a fun book to read! Nick transitioned from corporate America to starting his own business, doing it his way. The author knew what he didn't like about big company culture and made it a point to be different. He graciously recognizes his family and employees' support and contributions to growing King of Pops to what it is now. And having fun while doing it!"

    Brian W. Powers

  • "Steve Carse obviously polished his skills as a sports writer before becoming the King of Pops. He shares many stories that convey the esprit de corps of a winning team and the secrets of a charismatic coach."

    Todd Peterson

  • "This book should be on every founder and entrepreneurs bookshelf, but also anyone who wants their work to be more fulfilling...and I think that's just about everyone (or at least it should be). What a thoughtful and important idea that Steve has that we all deserve to have fun at work. I so thoroughly enjoyed hearing the story of King of Pops and learning about his journey, and the way that he and the team always insured the culture at the company was it's driving force. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."

    Jeff Hilimire

  • "If you read one business book this year, make it Work is Fun! In Work Is Fun, Author and CEO Steve Carse sheds light on the ways managers and employees of all levels can and should make their work fun and meaningful. His book went past cliche ideals and spoke to actual actionable strategies to make this change in any job, at any point in your career. Carse is a captivating writing (his skills as a former journalist truly shine!) and I found myself unable to put this book down. This certainly ranks among my favorite business books such as Jim Collins' Good to Great and Joe Coulombe's Becoming Trader Joe. I recommend this book whether you are just starting your first job or you are an established CEO-- there are fantastic lessons for everyone in this book!"

    Samanta Caine
