# Podcast Episode Summary:
**Episode Title:** Motivation: The Key to Change
**Podcast Host:** Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes
**Key Points:**
- Motivation is the "why" behind our actions and behaviors.
- Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards or incentives, such as money, recognition, or praise.
- Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal factors, such as personal interest, enjoyment, or a sense of purpose.
- Desperation, rationalization, and inspiration are three fuel tanks that can propel us forward in our pursuit of change.
- Desperation is a powerful motivator, but it can be short-lived and unsustainable.
- Rationalization involves weighing the costs and benefits of a particular course of action and choosing the option that is most likely to lead to a desired outcome.
- Inspiration is a powerful motivator that can help us overcome challenges and achieve our goals.
- Finding the motivation within ourselves is the key to lasting change.
- Ask yourself if every decision you make brings you closer to your goals or further away.
**Actionable Insights:**
- Identify your intrinsic motivators and use them to fuel your pursuit of change.
- Don't rely solely on extrinsic motivation, as it can be short-lived and unsustainable.
- When you feel unmotivated, try to find inspiration in others or remind yourself of your sense of purpose.
- Make small, consistent changes to your routine and habits to build momentum and stay motivated.
- Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in you and your ability to change.
**Overall Message:**
Motivation is the key to change, and it comes from within. By understanding our motivations and using them to our advantage, we can overcome challenges, achieve our goals, and create lasting change in our lives.
