from Upgrade Glitches · host Podcaster
We've been sold a lie that motivation comes first, then action follows. But neuroscience reveals the opposite is true — and this backwards thinking is why most people stay stuck waiting for inspiration that never comes. Host shares embarrassing stories of motivation-chasing and breaks down the research on how action actually creates motivation, not the other way around. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
