This podcast explores the topic of motivation, with co-hosts Mike and Scott debating the primary drivers behind human behavior. Mike initially proposes pleasure and pain as the main motivators, suggesting that we are naturally drawn to activities that bring us joy and avoid those that cause discomfort.

However, Scott challenges this perspective, arguing that fear and greed are the underlying forces that shape our actions. He defines greed as pursuing our own self-interest, and explains that while we may be motivated by the desire for pleasure, it's ultimately driven by a selfish desire for personal gain.

Scott further elaborates that fear plays a significant role in our decision-making. We may avoid certain actions or make choices based on fear of negative consequences, such as embarrassment, disapproval, or financial loss.

The podcast concludes by highlighting how both fear and greed can influence our behavior in the realm of sales. Sales professionals may be motivated by the greed of achieving financial success and personal recognition, while also being driven by fear of failure or rejection.
