What Motivates You: From Purpose to Passion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Phil and Tomas move from their usual lighthearted banter into a thoughtful discussion about New Year’s goals and the motivations behind them. They explore intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, the challenge of balance, and how changing cultural and secular norms have reshaped what drives people today. Drawing on personal experience, they reflect on coming from modest beginnings, what success means now, and what truly motivates each of them. The conversation ultimately turns inward, leaving listeners with a simple but powerful question: what truly makes you happy—and why?
Let us know what you think.
