Have you ever felt like work is designed to drain your energy rather than build it? What if instead, your job could leave you feeling energized, focused, and in flow?
On this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert®, I'm joined by Josh Allan Dykstra, the world’s leading expert in Human Energy™ and Founder & CEO of The Work Revolution. Josh is dedicated to transforming how we think about work - from an exhausting obligation into a regenerative source of energy, performance, and fulfillment. Sounds good right?!
In our conversation, Josh shares practical insights on why knowing your strengths alone isn’t enough - you also need to understand exactly what activities energize you. We dive deep into how to identify your personal energy drivers, shift from simply avoiding burnout to optimizing your energy, and why we need a work revolution to truly transform workplaces into places that fuel us rather than drain us.
You’ll hear how to:
- Identify the specific work activities that put you into a state of energized flow.
- Understand why the current work paradigm feels exhausting, and how to shift it to one that regenerates your energy.
- Overcome the belief that work has to be difficult to be valuable, and adopt a more intuitive approach.
- Create an "energy journal" to track which tasks energize you (and do more of them).
- Experiment with your "aspirational identity" to align your work more closely with your energy goals.
If you're ready to stop feeling drained at the end of the day and start feeling energized and inspired at work, which I know so many introverts are, this episode is for you.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
