The Catholic Pursuit of Excellence

#019- Today, we’re diving into dopamine—the chemical that drives motivation and the pursuit of goals. 

A lot of people think dopamine is just about pleasure, but it’s really the force behind why we act, why we chase after things, and how we stay motivated.

Whether you’re trying to build better habits, overcome burnout, or understand why some things seem more exciting than others, dopamine is at the core.”

By understanding how dopamine works, we can learn how to use it to our advantage—helping us stay motivated, avoid addictive behaviors, and thrive long-term.

In this episode, we’ll break down how dopamine works, why it’s so important for motivation, how it can help or hurt us in habit formation, and how to boost it naturally.

Here is a snippet from The Thriving Catholic Entrepreneur's Manifesto:

I am a thriving Catholic Entrepreneur. 

I know that my strength comes from the Lord and I rely on Him to lead me and guide me in my business and my life. I know that with God all things are possible, and I keep my eyes fixed firmly on Jesus while walking the path that He has set before me. By seeking God and his kingdom first, I know that everything else that I need will fall into place – including the success I most desire for my business.

#015 - This is the first in a series of episodes for Catholic Entrepreneurs!

Why did you start your business?

If you’re like most Catholic entrepreneurs that I know, you started your business because you wanted to use your gifts and talents to serve God and others. 

You wanted to do something meaningful that would impact the world, your family, and yourself in a profound way. 

It was about more than money – it was about mission. 

But chances are also good that, like many entrepreneurs, you’ve lost sight of that vision amidst the day-to-day grind of the seemingly never-ending tasks and stresses that come with running a successful business. 

In this episode, I refute some of the lies of "hustle culture" and also outline what you can expect from this series moving forward.
