It’s Olympics season, and we have a lot of questions: What motivates Olympic athletes to compete? Why is there such a pay disparity between professional athletes and Olympic athletes, or even the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? And why do bronze medalists often seem happier than silver medalists?
In this episode, we discuss all of this and more, attempting to answer them both from the inner and outer world perspectives.
