We’re excited to have him back on the show, check out out first interview with him in episode 93, when he discussed the difference between real work versus fake work. 

He’s the host of the Accidental Creative podcast and author of several best selling books including The Accidental Creative and Die Empty. 

His most recent book, The Motivation Code, explores 50+ years of research about what motivates us and as you’ll soon hear, it’s different for each one of us.
