Understanding Your Motivation with Todd Henry

<p>Have you ever needed and even wanted to do something, but struggled to get into action to get it done? When I look at the way my energy for activities shifts— it can seem so illogical. There are things that I can't wait to get out of bed to do, and there are other things that I can't get myself out of bed to do.<br /> <br /> Why is that?<br /> <br /> Today on the podcast, we get to dig in and attempt to answer that question. My guest today is Todd Henry — author, podcaster, and creative director. He's the founder of the Accidental Creative podcast — a show that has more than a million downloads. He's also the author of a handful of books, including his most recent: the Motivation Code, which comes out the day this episode releases.<br /> <br /> I really enjoyed my conversation with Todd for many reasons. He's a great conversation partner and knowledgeable in all the areas I enjoy: creativity, psychology, business, and more.<br /> <br /> We dive into his work journey, and his new book. You'll have some good take aways for your own work and life, including a better understanding of how you're motivated and how to use that to your advantage.</p> <p><strong>In this episode you'll learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li>What Todd does</li> <li>How he got into what he's doing</li> <li>The back story behind the name “Accidental Creative”</li> <li>How Todd thinks about his identity in all the different roles he holds</li> <li>What are his thoughts on the process of identifying and naming his "white hot center"</li> <li>How does Todd thinks about purpose, meaning and calling in his work</li> <li>Todd shares about his new book “The Motivation Code”</li> <li>What are the Motivational Themes and how do they impact our day to day work life</li> <li>What is the impact he wants to make with his new book</li> </ul> <p><strong>Show notes at: <a href= "https://themeaningmovement.com/?p=13203">https://themeaningmovement.com/todd</a></strong></p>
