Motivation is erratic, unpredictable and ebbs and flows —which means relying on motivation for consistency can leave you more frustrated and stuck than ever. Enter my latest guest on the Academy —Todd Henry —who is here to deconstruct motivation with his latest book, The Motivation Code. Todd Henry is the founder of Accidental Creative, a company that helps creative people and teams be prolific, brilliant and healthy. He regularly speaks and consults with companies about how to develop practices that lead to everyday brilliance. In this conversation, you're going to learn the myths of motivation, how to change your behavior long-term and why so much of the conventional advice around motivation leaves people worse off, as well as the special assessment Todd and his team at Motivation Code have created.

In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Ted Jackson encountered a half-naked drug addict sleeping under a bridge. After snapping a photo, Jackson woke the man. Pointing to the daily newspaper by his feet, the homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the eye and said, “You ought to do a story about me.” When Ted asked why, he was stunned by the answer. “Because, I’ve played in three Super Bowls.” Whoa, what a story. Today's Academy episode is about mastery of craft and embracing those "moments" in life where we know it's time to create something special. We discuss an incredible career, the creative process, how Ted Jackson came across the story of a lifetime —and so much more. We also discuss friendship, redemption and telling an emotional story unlike any other.

"You seem to push entrepreneurship hard —is that required for a fulfilling life?” Uh, no...of course not. But I  believe the tools, mindsets and strategies that make a great entrepreneur —those lead to a fulfilling life: They lead to self-reliance. They lead to creative solutions. They lead to exponential thinking. (And if you are a part of an organization —you become the Linchpin and those get paid and promoted fast.) Even if you are working for someone else and are fulfilled —adopting an entrepreneurial mindset is non-negotiable. Why? Because no employer is ever loyal to one person —they are loyal to profit shareholders and their own self-interests. And if we’ve learned anything from the COVID-19 crisis, it’s that: We can’t rely on employers. We can’t rely on the government. We can’t rely on faux leaders to save us. In Quick Hit #147 —I'll answer a question I receive on the regular —do you need to be an entrepreneur to live a rich, and fulfilling life?
