Podcasts about cultivating curiosity

Thomas Greek's leadership journey reads like a field guide for anyone who's ever struggled with the transition from boss to true leader. From his early days as a self-described "bossy boss" pointing at his metaphorical sheriff's badge, to becoming the youngest executive in his organization's history, Thomas reveals the pivotal moments that transformed his approach to leading others.The conversation turns on a single question from a mentor who asked him, "Do you think your team likes working for you?" His initial response—"Does it matter?"—captures the mindset many new managers bring to leadership positions. This moment sparked a curiosity that would define his leadership philosophy moving forward.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Thomas's willingness to share his vulnerabilities. He recounts landing an executive role running a multibillion-dollar credit card operation despite candidly admitting in the interview, "I'm not qualified for this job." His secret? Understanding that leadership excellence comes from building engaged teams and creating transformational environments, not from technical expertise alone.Throughout our discussion, Thomas reveals practical frameworks like his "Three Ps" approach (People, Processes, Possibilities) and shares his favorite coaching question: "Is it true?" These simple but powerful tools have helped countless leaders shift from controlling to empowering, from telling to asking, and from feeling isolated to creating genuine connection.Whether you're leading a small team or a large organization, Thomas's insights on psychological safety, workplace loneliness, and the integration of work and personal wellbeing offer a blueprint for more effective and fulfilling leadership. His parting wisdom? "Be kind. It's easy, it's free, and the world needs more of it."Ready to transform your leadership approach?

Are you a young married couple struggling to learn the essential ingredients for a thriving marriage? As a therapist, I know that we all have great intentions when we get married but may not know exactly how to make our marriage work. In this episode of the Always Hope Podcast, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Dr. Steve Call, a renowned marriage therapist and author. We have a wonderful conversation about his book, A Deep-Rooted Marriage, co-authored with Dr. Dan Allender. Dr. Call detailed what it means to have a marriage with deep roots and emphasized the importance of intentionality in nurturing a healthy and flourishing relationship. He often drew parallels to gardening and beautifully illustrated how tending to the soil of our marriages can lead to a thriving relationship. As someone who's killed a cactus before, gardening imagery only goes so far. Dr. Call shared many fascinating insights from his book, including the significance of continuous growth, the courage it takes to be vulnerable in a relationship, the need for play in marriage, and seeing conflict as a means for connection. (Not what you usually think). Overall, this episode was a treasure trove of insights and encouragement for anyone looking to cultivate a deep-rooted marriage.

Hey my beautiful friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into the topic of black and white thinking - that rigid, all-or-nothing mindset that so many of us struggle with. I know it was a huge challenge for me for a long time, and I'm so passionate about helping you break free from it too. I'll share my own personal journey of expanding my beliefs and creating new, more empowered ways of thinking. I was raised with a lot of rules and legalism, and it took me years to start seeing the gray areas, the both/ands, and all the possibilities in between the extremes. We'll also cover: - The latest update on my Facebook account drama (ugh, still can't get back in!) and how I'm staying connected with my community - An inspiring story from one of my coaching clients who's choosing not to drink during a really tough time - Practical strategies to challenge those pesky absolutes like "always" and "never" - The power of brainstorming without limits and getting diverse perspectives - Why taking breaks and reflecting on pros and cons can provide fresh clarity Wherever you're feeling stuck in black and white thinking - whether it's in your relationships, your career, or any other area of life - I'm here to help you cultivate more curiosity, openness, and possibility. So if you're ready to say goodbye to "this or that" for good, reach out to me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com.

Guest Bio:Carla Johnson is a world-renowned keynote speaker, author of ten books, and a master of connecting the dots between creative problem-solving, strategy, and customer experience. She is best known for helping leaders and organizations cultivate innovative thinking and apply it to everyday business challenges. Carla's innovative approach earned her the title of the world's leading innovation architect, working with Fortune 500 brands, startups, and associations to rethink how they innovate and achieve breakthrough results. Her latest book, Rethink Innovation, provides a roadmap for unlocking creativity and achieving bottom-line impact.Core Topics:Defining and Conquering Your "Three-Story Limit": Carla's concept of the "Three-Story Limit" is a powerful metaphor for the boundaries we often unknowingly impose on ourselves. Just as early architects believed buildings couldn't exceed three stories, people often set limits on their potential. By identifying these hidden barriers and confronting them directly, leaders and innovators can break through constraints and reach new heights, just as William LeBaron Jenney did with the world's first skyscraper.Cultivating Curiosity as a Strategic Advantage: Curiosity, according to Carla, is the foundational skill that drives all forms of creative thinking and problem-solving. By intentionally pausing to understand a problem fully and resisting the urge to jump to quick solutions, professionals can uncover unconventional insights. Carla suggests applying curiosity in structured ways, such as reframing problems, examining them from multiple perspectives, and exploring ideas to their extreme possibilities.Exposing the Hidden Costs of the Status Quo: Carla argues that maintaining the status quo often carries a hidden cost—stagnation and loss of relevance. She challenges organizations and individuals to evaluate whether their “safest” path is actually putting them at risk of obsolescence. By constantly questioning accepted norms and pushing for bold experimentation, people can unlock new growth opportunities and avoid the trap of complacency.Applying the Concept of "Expiration Dates" to Drive Continuous Reinvention: To prevent content and strategies from becoming stale, Carla introduces the idea of assigning “expiration dates” to everything from keynotes and speaker reels to messaging and business strategies. This practice encourages regular re-evaluation, keeping ideas fresh and compelling. It's not about change for the sake of change but rather about embracing a mindset of continuous renewal to remain relevant and impactful in a rapidly evolving world.Resources:Learn more about Carla Johnson:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramXLearn more about Josh Linkner:WebsiteYouTubeLinkedInInstagramXFacebookABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

We are revisiting a recent favorite episode this week…What are the “limits” of design software—and why push those limits? What makes Las Vegas, Nevada an untapped goldmine for BIM professionals? Join host Todd and guest Alain Michalak as they discuss recruitment of the next generation, the full rundown on StrucSoft, and striking a balance with being reactive, proactive, and responsive to industry demands. Alain Michalak is a BIM Senior Specialist at Performance Contracting, Inc. He is an Architectural and Construction Specialist with passion for practicing early architectural techniques and concepts to modern innovative technology. He has 17 years of experience in Architecture and Structural Design and 9 years of experience in the United States Army. Todd Takes Establishing Strong Rapport for Success Building a solid foundation with stakeholders and team members is crucial for the long-term success of any project. This involves taking the time to genuinely understand and connect with your team, listening attentively to their needs and concerns. Such efforts not only foster a positive working environment but also enhance efficiency and effectiveness, especially when navigating through change management processes. Establishing strong rapport lays the groundwork for a collaborative and supportive project atmosphere, where everyone feels valued and heard. Cultivating Curiosity and Innovation Embracing a mindset of continuous inquiry is key to driving innovation. Don't hesitate to question the status quo and explore new possibilities by asking "why" and experimenting with different approaches. This natural curiosity stimulates creative thinking, leading to the discovery of innovative solutions that might not be immediately apparent. Encouraging yourself and your team to remain curious and open-minded can significantly impact the project's ability to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing environment. Embracing Simplicity as Innovation Keeping things simple is often more challenging than it appears, yet it is a powerful strategy for innovation. In a world cluttered with complex solutions and processes, the ability to streamline and simplify can set your project apart. Simplicity leads to clearer understanding, easier implementation, and better user experience. By focusing on the essentials and removing unnecessary complications, you can achieve more efficient, effective, and innovative outcomes. Remember, simplicity is not just an objective; it's a mindset that can drive groundbreaking ideas and solutions.   Thanks for listening!

We're answering a listener question on the podcast this week: Have you always been so open minded? And if you […] The post Cultivating Curiosity [Listener Question] appeared first on Queer Theology.

Welcome to the ongoing mini-series The Orthogonal Bet. Hosted by ⁠⁠Samuel Arbesman⁠⁠, a Complexity Scientist, Author, and Scientist in Residence at Lux Capital. In this episode, Sam speaks with Eliot Peper. Eliot is a science fiction novelist and all-around delightful thinker. Eliot's books are thrilling tales of the near future, exploring many delightful areas of the world and the frontiers of science and technology. In Eliot's most recent novel, Foundry, he takes the reader on a journey through the world of semiconductors, from their geopolitical implications to their profoundly weird manufacturing processes. Sam wanted to talk to Eliot to explore this profound strangeness of the manufacturing of computer chips, but also use this as a jumping-off point for something broader: how Eliot discovers these interesting topics and those wondrous worlds that are incorporated into his books. They spoke about the importance of curiosity, as well as concrete ways to cultivate this useful kind of curiosity, which was fascinating.

Alessio Antoniolli, the visionary behind Triangle Network joins Ceri in this episode. Alessio shares his thrilling journey working with artists from every corner of the globe, revealing the trials, triumphs, and transformative lessons that have shaped his remarkable career. Prepare to be inspired and discover how embracing curiosity, resourcefulness, and a fearless approach to challenges can unlock your own creative potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS Immersing yourself in a community of artists can feed your passion and inspire you to pursue your work with unwavering dedication. Resourcefulness and a "yes, I can do that" spirit are crucial when figuring things out as you go, and reimagining possibilities with artists. Embrace trial and error alongside friends and peers, learning from mistakes and building resilience through tough love and honesty. Surround yourself with enablers who encourage you to take action without overthinking, and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. Dream big and wish for more; with enough determination, those wishes can become reality. View every challenge as an opportunity for transformation, and keep an open mind when encountering art that you don't immediately understand. Stay true to your practice and be motivated by your own research, other artists, and the process of making, rather than solely focusing on financial outcomes. Embrace the fear and discomfort that comes with transitioning to new roles or seasons in your life, as it allows you to redefine who you are and explore new possibilities. BEST MOMENTS  "I realised pretty quickly that what I enjoyed and where I got such satisfaction and my curiosity was fulfilled was to be around artists.” "I think the artists that in my mind are thriving and doing a very solid in their practice are those that don't stop being curious and don't stop thinking about process because, of course, the pressures of the market and the glory that comes out of the, you know, everybody needs to be paid properly." "I am very interested in artists that kind of through their work open new paths for different ways of living. Whether it's your response to the environment, whether it's, which of course it's a massive urgency, whether it's your response to politics, whether it's your, uh, response to gender and sexuality, whether it's your response to identity." "I genuinely value it. And I know that I'm not alone in this. So, if I can continue in some way, in a very small way to keep opening doors, then I'd feel I've fed myself, but I've also given something to something that is bigger than me." "I think the beauty for me of working with artists is that you start to unpick it and you start to have, ‘oh, here's an example of how you can think about yourself, here's an example of how you can think about that'." "I'm also trying to kind of keep a little time to feel the fear of who am I and and see if I can start giving different answers to it."

Questions come naturally to young children: Why is the sky blue? Where do butterflies go in winter? As they grow older, students need invitations to cultivate curiosity and teachers who are able to teach the skill of questioning. The Question Formulation Technique builds this lifelong learning skill, teaching students how to ask their own questions. In this episode, we're joined by Dan Rothstein, Luz Santana, and Sarah Westbrook from The Right Question Institute to discuss how the QFT works and what we can do to cultivate curiosity through questioning.

What does it really take to scale your business and leadership while staying true to your culture and values? Cybersecurity expert and CEO of ReachOut Technology, Rick Jordan, joins me, Craig Dowden, to tackle this complex question. Together, we dive deep into Rick's story to understand how a potent mix of leadership, branding and tenacity catapulted his company from a fledgling startup into a publicly traded company without a single penny of outside funding. The road to success is not a smooth ride. It is filled with setbacks and obstacles, which require more than perseverance to take us through. We must commit to learning the lessons that these experiences provide us. Rick opens up in a very personal way, even to his own surprise, to share some of his most difficult challenges, where he questioned himself and his vision. Rather than let these obstacles defeat him, Rick sees these inevitable moments as ones where we must ‘pay the dummy tax' so we can unlock the invaluable insights gained from those financial or emotional bruises. We also celebrate reframing setbacks into stepping stones, providing a roadmap for listeners to accelerate their growth by understanding and embracing the lessons in their own errors. We close our conversation with a powerful discussion about how rejection isn't the end of the road; it's just a detour on the path to achievement. The art of turning a 'no' into a 'yes' is something Rick knows very well, as he has done this throughout his entrepreneurial journey, where, through persistence, he has turned an initial refusal into extraordinary opportunity. We explore the necessity of taming one's ego and fostering curiosity in leadership and business to strengthen connections and enhance personal development. This episode is a mix of motivational stories and practical insights, aimed at arming you with the mindset and tools required for overcoming obstacles and cultivating success. What You'll Learn: - Scaling a business with integrity and innovation - Employee engagement is at the heart of growing a successful company. - How to make every team member an investor in your shared vision. - Leveraging the 'dummy tax' we pay to overcome setbacks - Turning rejections into golden opportunities Podcast Timestamps: (00:00) – Introduction and Origin Story – From Start-Up to Publicly Traded Company (13:52) - Personal Branding and Failure (24:42) – No Is Not Forever – It Means Not Now (35:48) - Cultivating Curiosity and Managing our Ego Key Topics Discussed: Mindset, Personal Growth, Vulnerability, Successful Founder, Scaling A Business, Leading with Integrity, Tenacity, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Personal Branding, Dealing with Failure/Rejection, Ego, Curiosity, Relationship-Building, Cybersecurity, Ethics, Digital Age, Learning from Mistakes. More of Rick: Rick Jordan is a tenacious problem-solver with a passion for hard work and Scotch whiskey. From building his first computer at age 10 to writing Best Buy's B2B sales playbook, Rick's journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of solutions. Raised in the Chicago suburbs, he learned the value of human connection and resilience from his family's struggles. After his father's passing, Rick became the head of the household, working at McDonald's and later at RadioShack, where he earned $30,000 in commissions by spotting system security issues. Today, Rick is the founder of ReachOut, a cybersecurity-focused MSP recognized for its excellence and innovation. As a sought-after speaker and podcast host, Rick continues to inspire and empower entrepreneurs worldwide.

JOIN THE BJDW COMMUNITY HERE Today we're excited to announce the launch of the But Jesus Drink Wine Community, born from the heartfelt requests of our valued listeners highlighting the need for connection with those who are following Jesus/those who are curious about Jesus and those on an alcohol-free journey. This conversation centers around some of the hardest, yet most rewarding growth “we get to do” on the sobriety journey and the importance of doing it alongside those traveling similar paths.   In this conversation, we first address the complex feelings of fitting in and the discomfort of outgrowing friendships. We emphasize the need to acknowledge and celebrate personal growth and the process of pruning in friendships. We also discuss the impact of FOMO and comparison on social media and the importance of exploring other possibilities beyond the “shoulds” with social invitations.    In this conversation, we're also digging into how to navigate emotional charges and discomfort and Meade shares her tried-and-true P.E.A.C.E. method. We emphasize the need to consider other possibilities and not assume what others think. We also highlight the importance of not basing actions on others' opinions and allowing oneself to feel and explore different perspectives. The conversation explores the power of living differently and being the first to make a change. This episode concludes with a discussion on drawing near to God and engaging with the community.   Takeaways:   Creating a community for Jesus-curious/Jesus followers and those on an alcohol-free journey is important for support and connection. Outgrowing friendships is a natural part of personal growth and should be celebrated. FOMO and comparison on social media can lead to feelings of lack and discontentment. It is important to explore other possibilities and challenge the shoulds in order to live with intentionality. Use Meade's P.E.A.C.E. method (Pause, Exhale, Allow, Consider, Engage) to navigate emotional charges and discomfort. Consider other possibilities and don't assume what others think. Don't base actions on others' opinions. Allow yourself to feel and explore different perspectives. Living differently can be a superpower and lead to personal growth. Be the first to make a change and inspire others. Draw near to God and engage with the community. Chapters:   1. Introduction and Announcement 2. Launching the But Jesus Drink Wine Community 3.

#321: Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself— Solo EP In this episode, I share my journey to embracing the change that has been seeking me, and embracing the unknown that I've been afraid of. For so many of us, we fear letting go of our familiar patterns, but also fear stepping into our fullest potential because we're afraid of what might happen or what lies ahead. But stepping into the unknown IS the key to our personal libration. I'm ready to leap, and I'm not f'ing around anymore. So with that said, allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Mark Groves.
