I've been thinking a lot about motivation lately, and I've come to a conclusion: you don't need it. In this episode I break down the three things that actually drive action — interest, appeal, and possibility — using something as simple as going to the bathroom, and something as messy as a beat-making video I nearly had to redo from scratch. I get into why chasing your end goal beats white-knuckling through fear or obligation, and how reframing "I have to" into "I want to" changes everything about how the grind feels.
