Tune in to hear:

- What is “flow” in a behavioral science context?

- How do you begin to measure and study something like flow, which seems very ephemeral and hard to pin down?

- Is it possible to reach a flow state performing a task/job you dislike?

- How to we push past the stumbling block phase, with a challenging skill like drawing or skateboarding, and eventually work to a level of expertise or ease where flow states become possible?

- We have a good sense of what flow looks like in athletics and fine arts, but how does it play out in financial professionals and what benefits does it accrue for them?

- Is it within the scope of a financial advisor’s job to help their clients find flow?

- If someone has never achieved a flow state, how might they begin to seek that experience out?

- Has Jordan come across any surprising findings in his studies of motivation?
