#80: Optimizing Motivation


Listen Later

Why do some people stay consistent for years, while others burn out in weeks? It’s not willpower. It’s not hype. And it’s definitely not discipline in the way you think.

In this episode of The Supra Human Show, Ryan Stevens, Dr. Taylor Waters, and Ben Olliver dismantle the myths of motivation. Together they show how true consistency comes from designing your environment, aligning your identity, and understanding the hidden motives that actually drive action. You’ll learn the concept of the “motivation threshold,” the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic drivers, and why discipline is just motivation in disguise.

This episode is built for anyone committed to long-term transformation. Whether you're chasing fat loss, peak performance, or simply trying to stop quitting on yourself, this episode gives you the tools to win for the long haul.
