To celebrate February, Danielle invites her first guest to her podcast: her husband Dr. Ryan McGeough.

Danielle and Ryan talk about what dopamine is and why if you listen to a podcast on planning and goal setting you are probably more dopaminergic than most of the population. Dr. Ryan McGeough discusses the role of desire, dopamine, and self control in our brains and why the chemicals in our brains make being both ambitious and content challenging. They talk about novelty, value, and how your dopamine levels may influence your experience with goal setting and planning. Tune and see if this episode leaves you craving more! Or, maybe that's just the dopamine drip!
