Performance vs. Performative: Who Are You Really Doing This For? -Ep.61
Somewhere along the way, a lot of what we do became more about being seen doing it than actually doing it well. In Episode 61 of Pursuit of Balance, Corey breaks down how performance turned performative: participation trophies, highlight-reel social media, races entered for the photos, fitness content built for views instead of results, and the research showing that announcing your goals can make you less likely to reach them. He shares his own past with chasing attention through physique, selfies, and ego, why business became his competition, and a simple framework to audit, subtract, and rebuild so your motivation comes from the inside. If no one was watching, would you still do it?
