This week on the podcast, we discuss our takeaways from reading Daniel H. Pink's book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.

The book challenges traditional views of motivation based on rewards and punishments.

Daniel Pink argues that intrinsic motivation - driven by autonomy, mastery, and purpose - is key for creatives.
