#66: Daniel Pink Talks Productivity, Motivation, and Regret

For the first time, CULTURE goodr has a guest who doesn't work for goodr!!! In episode #66, Stephen interviews New York Times bestselling author, Daniel H. Pink. (Pink wrote To Sell is Human, When, A Whole New Mind, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward, and Drive, which heavily influenced the culture at goodr.)

They discuss:

- how Dan's childhood was shaped by growing up around libraries

- Dan's day-to-day writing routine, and why you shouldn't wait for inspiration to create

- why you should use David Allen's GTD to get stuff out of your head and into a system

- what culture means to Dan, and how companies can foster a meaningful, emergent culture

- how companies like goodr can support night owls, instead of just early birds and larks

- Dan's thoughts on working remotely vs. in-office, and why companies should be 'scientists'

- the perils of 'if, then' reward systems, that appeal to extrinsic motivations, not intrinsic ones

- Dan's thoughts on goodr's AMP (Autonomy, Master & Purpose) evaluation system, which was influenced by his book Drive

- Dan's new book, The Power of Regret, and how one can be totally satisfied with their life but still have regrets.

- what kind of company culture Dan would create, and what current status quo we need to challenge the most
