About this listen

Episode 1: “The Spark – Understanding What Drives Us” explores the science and psychology behind why we take action—or don’t. The episode breaks down intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, revealing how dopamine, reward pathways, and brain chemistry influence behavior. It examines motivation through an evolutionary lens, from survival instincts to modern ambition, and revisits Maslow’s hierarchy with a contemporary perspective. By challenging common myths—like waiting for inspiration or believing motivation should be constant—the episode reframes motivation as a learnable skill. Listeners leave with a clearer understanding of their own drives and a foundation for building sustainable motivation.
