We've been gone for a while and it really isn't surprising at this point, but we do have our reasons and we talk about them in this episode.  Other than catching up with each other after our respective literal and figurative moves (Ryan to another country and job, Jika to another employer), we go into our newest finds, what we're excited about, and our most recent learnings too about what makes us do what we do or do not in this happiest hobby of ours. Yes, everyone, we're demotivated and that's actually been a good thing. :) Here are the usual links relevant to the episode:  Leonardo Memento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 unboxing on Pen Venture "The Science of Motivation" on The American Psychological Association "Missing Your Motivation" on Psychology Today And for our Pen Noobs Podcast Links: Instagram: @thepennoobspodcast The Pen Noobs Podcast Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thepennoobspodcast The Pen Noobs Podcast Episode 29 on Youtube: https://youtu.be/b5Nq-7KBWFM
