8 Core Drives of Human-Focused Design

Motivation isn’t about willpower—it’s about design. In this thoughtful walkthrough of Yu-kai Chou’s Octalysis framework, Kevin and AI assistant Claire explore the 8 core drives of human-focused design: from epic meaning and accomplishment to creativity, ownership, and even fear of loss. Through stories, examples, and personal reflection, this video reframes motivation as something deeply human, not just mechanical. Great for educators, creators, and anyone trying to keep moving through complexity.
