For curiosity’s sake. Just because. Because we’re interested. Because we’re fascinated by so many things. Because why not? On this podcast, we amplify all kinds of stories, people, experiences, and make them relatable no matter who you are or where you come from. We want to encourage people to dream big, to practice empathy and understanding of those who are unknown, and to ask questions of those around us, to recognize that everyone has value and everyone has a story. Join us as we seek out people that inspire curiosity and make us want to learn more about who they are and the lives they lead.
