EP—#13: When last did you learn something that didn’t promise a reward?

Something That Didn’t Promise a Reward?

When was the last time you learned something without expecting a reward—no certificate, no promotion, no applause?

In this solo episode of the FoodiePEDIA 365 Podcast, Patrick O’Aryee reflects on how modern life has trained us to learn only when there’s something to gain, and why some of the most meaningful growth happens when there is no immediate payoff.

You’ll explore:

• ​ How rewards quietly replaced curiosity
• ​ The difference between learning for gain and learning for growth
• ​ Why intrinsic motivation builds depth and resilience
• ​ How to reclaim learning as a personal discipline

If you’re interested in personal growth, career transitions, and becoming better—not just busier—this episode is for you.
