    Whether you manage a team or just want to enjoy Mondays again, this episode will show you how to engineer your own motivation from the inside out.

    🎧 Topics covered:

    • Why external rewards can actually decrease motivation

    • The science of intrinsic motivation (Deci & Ryan’s Self-Determination Theory)

    • How to build ownership without rebellion

    • The flow state and the psychology of mastery

    • The surprising link between connection and fulfillment at work
