A bit of a philosophical ep on the cards today team, but not before we debunk all the rumours spreading about Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth (nothing like a bit of media literacy to start the ep!). TikTok has gone WILD with big unsubstantiated claims (what's new) about Liam's behaviour during their relashe - and people have been taking it as fact??? Not on this pod!

Then, we get into intrinsic vs extrinsic motivations - and what makes us do what we do. Is it for us? Is it for money? For praise? For likes? How do we make sure we're doing things for the right reasons?? All of this and more in this weeks ep!!
