In this episode we delve into the fascinating world of the biology behind turning our dreams into reality. Our brains play a crucial role in influencing our behaviours and understanding the biological processes that lead to motivation is key to achieving our goals. 

Drawing on inspiration from Pavlov’s dog and the study of learning, we explore how associations are formed in our brains and how certain stimuli can trigger powerful responses. Just like the dog learned to salivate at the sound of a bell anticipating food, how can we condition ourselves to find joy in tasks that may initially seem daunting (see cold calling, door knocking…) but we know can lead to rewards. 

How can we find what makes us salivate?
