About this listen

Are you waiting for motivation to strike before you take action? You’re not alone, but you might be waiting forever.

In this episode of Brain on Purpose, Oliver dives deep into the neuroscience behind motivation: why it fades, how your brain conserves energy, and what actually gets you moving when motivation just won’t show up.

You’ll learn:

  • Why dopamine spikes before the reward, not after

  • How your brain’s habit system often overrides your goals

  • The science behind taking action before you feel like it

  • A simple 30-second technique to get started on anything — even when it feels daunting

  • How to lead with your values, not your moods

Whether you're avoiding a budget, a workout, a job search, or just an overdue conversation, this episode is your call to action.

Because you don’t need to feel motivated to take action.
You need to take action to feel motivated.
