Motivational Quote by Jason Kilar

"There's nothing more intoxicating than doing big, bold things" is the kind of line that doesn’t just celebrate ambition; it tries to rebrand it as a chemical need. “Intoxicating” is a telling choice: it frames risk as pleasure, decision-making as an adrenaline ritual, and the pursuit of scale as its own reward. The subtext is almost a permission slip for overreach. If the feeling is the point, then hesitation becomes not prudence but deprivation.

Jason Kilar is best known in executive circles (Hulu’s early years, later WarnerMedia), and that context matters. In tech and media leadership, “big, bold” often functions as a euphemism for moves that can’t be A/B tested: platform bets, aggressive pivots, public gambles with other people’s capital and careers. The quote flatters the operator who wants to be seen as a builder rather than a caretaker. It’s also a narrative device: boldness reads well in retrospectives, even when outcomes are messy. When a strategy works, it’s vision. When it fails, it was at least “courageous.”

Why it lands culturally is that it matches a specific era’s moral aesthetic: the founder-CEO myth where scale equals virtue and caution equals stagnation. The line romanticizes the high of disruption while skirting the hangover: the human cost, the collateral damage, the quiet disciplines that actually sustain “big.” It’s motivation, yes, but also a subtle creed: if you’re not chasing the intoxicating, you’re not really living the work.
