The Music Industry Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Want to understand the mysterious forces that fuel your motivation? Maddy and I, harness our contrasting work mentalities – her strategic, date-organized style and my ideas-driven approach – to dissect the multifaceted beast that is motivation.

Together, exploring how stress and fear of failure taint our motivation. We uncover surprising truths about how fear can warp our decision-making process and how the allure of financial success can sometimes be a motivation killer. But fear not, we also journey into the noble quest of maintaining motivation during the grueling times. We unlock the power of habits to keep us on track and probe into the curious ways our personal hygiene and appearance can affect our motivation. 

The motivational terrain is tainted with external influences – the opinions of others, societal systems – and we bravely challenge their sway. We put the popular motivational quotes under scrutiny, questioning their role in our professional lives, and warn against the fleeting nature of motivation that is rooted in comparison or competition. As we close this odyssey, we hand you a valuable treasure – the crucial lesson of rituals and habits as a sustainable source of motivation. So, prepare yourself for an enlightening journey through the dense forests of motivation, and let's conquer this together!
