This episode explores the chase for dopamine in creative industries, touching on the burnout that comes with seeking constant validation through social media and career wins.

I offer advice for avoiding burnout and finding lasting fulfillment by prioritizing purpose over quick dopamine hits.  Follow Arrad (podcast host) here: https://instagram.com/arradLISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7eq3LPnwW0v2VptRWDy78PAPPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ourselves-podcast/id1788214492YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBobeWgRkYo&list=PLK6771Xzlj6ljfd-tLyBL_-EE9CjRx0RQCONNECT WITH US:✩ Ourselves (production team): https://www.ourselves.tv/ ✩ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ourselvespodcast/ ✩ Twitter: https://x.com/ourselvespod ✩ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ourselvespodcast ✩ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570639505831
