Face it – if you had a cheat code for everything you want in life, you’d use it. Right?

Last week, I wrote about burnout – how to spot it and what to do about it. It’s linked to motivation and behavior. But what if you had a way to understand not only your own behavior but the behaviors of others?

What if you had a cheat code?

This week, I’m highlighting Dr. Marcus Collins, a clinical professor at the University of Michigan and former Chief Strategy Officer at Wieden+Kennedy, the groundbreaking creative advertising agency. Not only is Marcus a friend, he’s a brilliant motivator who’s spent years studying what motivates and drives human behavior en masse.

Marcus shared a bit about his approach to what influences behavior and what drove him to write his powerful book For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want To Be.
