from Ascend Altitude Sessions · host Ascend Motivation
This episode explores why products, goals, and communities can feel strangely empty when they’re too easy, from the Betty Crocker cake mix flop to the IKEA effect and Duolingo’s smart use of friction. The hosts dig into the psychology of ownership, completion, and rewarding effort—and why the right amount of struggle can make results feel earned.
