Haven't watched those videos but I do thin, that's an important point. Motivation and interest comes from doing something, not the other way around. This applies at small and large scales for me. I get more motivated to climb if I go climbing a few times, rather than needing motivation to start going. Similarly, I got far more invested in my PhD work after having a few years in the problem space, rather than starting from some passion. Cal Newport writes about this fairly well.
