A Deep Dive Into Zootopia - A Story of Courage, Curiosity & Change We are under two week until Zootopia 2 hits theaters. However, before we delve into a new tale about our favorite city where "anyone can be everything", we thought we'd take a look back at the original film. That's right! This week we're taking A Deep Dive Into Zootopia - A Story of Courage, Curiosity & Change. We'll be discussing many of the twists and turns the Disney Animation team had to navigate in creating this phenomenal and very important film. Plus all sorts of interesting tidbits about what it took to bring Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde and many of the other Zootopia citizens to the big screen and into our hearts.  Disney Stories of the Week Once we complete our Deep Dive Into Zootopia - A Story of Courage, Curiosity & Change portion of the show it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week.

Kelley, a Woven client and Mental Health Counselor, joined me today to talk about her journey working with Woven Natural Fertility Care to make sense of her cycles and the effects of PCOS, but the conversation took a truly meaningful turn as we talked about the significance of understanding our mental, physical, and spiritual creation and how that impacts how we understand our female design. It was so rich that we've broken the episode into two parts so you wouldn't miss out on it. We explore the role of faith, the impact of mental health, the daily effects of irregular cycles, and more in this episode. It's a must-listen! In today's episode, we focus more on the mental health affects and spiritual benefits of cycle charting.NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.HELPFUL RESOURCES:Ep. 15: Dealing with fertility-focused anxiety, with Ashley Yeager, LCSWEp. 101: Medical trauma in fertility with Rebecca Henderson, LCSWFertility Trauma Resource from Woven Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

In a new miniseries all about the weird and/or esoteric we pull the thread back to The Law of One, a 1980s series of channeling sessions where researcher Don Elkins and collaborator Jim McCarty recorded Carla Ruckert in trance, speaking as an entity called Ra. From “intelligent infinity” to densities of consciousness and a sweeping claim that all is one, the material wrapped metaphysics in sci‑fi gloss and birthed phrases that still ripple through New Age culture, wellness spaces, and social media.We unpack how that language works: grand, elastic, and impossible to falsify. Ambiguity becomes power, letting seekers project their needs onto a system that can't be disproved and seldom has to be precise. That's a feature, not a bug—and it explains why “love and light” turned into a template anyone can remix into starseeds, vibrations, and cosmic downloads. Along the way, we examine the pattern that keeps repeating: disillusionment with institutions, the rise of alternative spiritual paths, and the backlash that follows. When meaning feels scarce, a generous cosmology feels like relief.But we also draw a line. The ancient aliens pipeline often bundled with this rhetoric can erase the achievements of ancient, non‑Western cultures by crediting outsiders for pyramids, astronomy, and engineering. We argue for awe without erasure—honoring human ingenuity while keeping a clear eye on how vague metaphysics enables grift and cultish control. Curiosity, compassion, and skepticism can coexist. If all is one, accountability belongs in the circle too.Stick around for a tease of what this rabbit hole led us to next, including Sunbow True Brother and other wild side paths.

In the latest installment of GMAC Zach's EA prep journey, Zach is joined by test prep expert Stacey Koprince for another candid conversation about tacking the exam. Fresh off completing the Foundations of Math book, Zach shares what surprised him, what clicked, and what still feels intimidating — from story problems that suddenly felt accessible to "age problems" that he hopes never appear on test day. Stacey breaks down the science of curiosity-driven learning, reveals which math topics appear more or less frequently on the EA, and offers practical strategies for prioritizing prep when time is short. The episode dives into one of Zach's biggest hurdles: memorizing fraction–decimal–percent conversions. Stacey walks him through how to derive conversions logically rather than rote-memorize long tables, giving Zach (and listeners) a more intuitive path forward. They also discuss leveraging AI carefully, using Foundations of Math as a reference tool, and maximizing the last few days before Zach's section practice exam — especially in Integrated Reasoning. About Stacey: Stacey Koprince is one of the most recognized names in test prep, with over 15 years of experience teaching the GMAT, EA, GRE, and LSAT. As Manhattan Prep's Director of Content & Curriculum, she has written countless articles, guides, and video explanations that thousands of students rely on. A former management consultant, Stacey now spends her days helping future business leaders master tricky concepts and find confidence in their prep—something she's passionate about seeing "click" for every student.

Practice tests help identify areas for improvement. Memorization of key math concepts is beneficial. Organization is crucial for solving complex problems. Focus on strengths rather than weaknesses before tests. Engaging with material through discussion aids understanding. Utilize study materials as references even after completion. Seek advice from test prep experts for common topics. Don't let external pressures affect test performance. Learning is a journey, and progress should be acknowledged.

Send us a textOne thoughtful question can flip a tense moment into a turning point. We dig into how genuine curiosity reduces judgment and defensiveness, invites deeper honesty and helps both coach and client see beyond the first story the brain serves up. Instead of pushing for quick certainty, we practice slowing down the mind's urge to fill gaps and we show how that pause creates better choices, cleaner relationships and measurable progress.We break down the science and the practice: why assumptions feel soothing but sabotage growth, how curiosity moves thinking from autopilot to awareness, and what happens to a client's nervous system when they feel explored rather than evaluated. You'll hear a real coaching moment where a partner's instinct to fix was replaced with a simple, clarifying question—“What do you need from me right now?”—and how that reframed support transformed the dynamic. We also share practical prompts that keep sessions focused and human, plus a method for noticing the quiet signals in tone, pauses and detours that reveal what matters most.This conversation is for coaches, leaders and anyone who wants better conversations at home and at work. You'll leave with a toolkit of short, powerful questions, a mindset for hearing what isn't said and a way to model curiosity so clients mirror it in their own lives. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves great questions and leave a quick review so more curious people can find us.Interested in elevating your coaching skills and accelerating your clients' growth?

The Heart of New Leadership is CuriosityMost of us are drawn to rules and limits. They give us a sense of safety. Structure and predictability offer comfort: we know what to expect, and what's expected of us. For a while, this feels like stability. But in truth, it often leads to stagnation.The artist doesn't value safety and smallness. The artist values discovery. To create something new, you have to step beyond the known.The same is true for leaders.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale meets up with friends and fellow podcasters KiKi L'Italien, Dave Will (PropFuel), and Joanna Pineda (Matrix International) for a lively roundtable recorded live at ASAE Annual 2025 in Los Angeles. The group dives into the intersection of technology, culture, and brand in associations, exploring how tools like AI and VR can either enhance or hinder human connection. From frustrating banking apps to virtual mini-golf team building, they share candid stories, laughs, and lessons on how to implement tech that truly serves people.Themes and Topics:Tech That Builds, or Breaks, TrustPoorly implemented tech can damage brand perception and member confidence.Frustrating digital experiences (like banking apps or chatbots) drive people offline.Associations must prioritize usability and member experience from the start.AI, Anxiety, and AdoptionAI can amplify human connection, but only when introduced with clarity and care.Staff need reassurance and transparency about how AI will impact their roles.Leaders must model curiosity and create space for experimentation.Play, Curiosity, and CultureWeekly AI showcases and VR mini-golf are helping teams stay creative and connected.Playful, low-stakes experimentation builds confidence and sparks innovation.Culture thrives when leaders encourage curiosity and celebrate learning.Usability Testing: The Missing LinkMany associations skip or underinvest in user testing, leading to failed rollouts.Even minimal testing can reveal major usability issues before launch.

Send us a textMe Before PMDD: Relationship Reset Toolkit-CouplesClick to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokEver feel like your relationship hits the same wall every month? We've been there, and we're unpacking why PMDD can turn a tiny spark into a wildfire—and how to stop living in the loop. We break down how surface fights about chores, texts, and tone usually point to deeper beliefs about safety, value, rejection, and abandonment. When PMDD heightens emotional sensitivity in the luteal phase, every delay, sigh, or raised voice can feel like proof of the worst story in your head. The fix isn't fewer conversations; it's better ones.We walk through a practical framework to move from reaction to repair. First, name the core belief driving the argument: “When voices rise, I feel unsafe.” Then take ownership of impact without blame, and invite your partner to accommodate the sensitivity—lower intensity, use clearer check-ins, and protect tone. We share the 90‑second pause to break the trigger–reaction cycle and a simple conflict plan that signals space without abandonment: specific words, timelines, and a commitment to revisit. Curiosity beats criticism every time; a question can save you from a spiral an accusation would guarantee.You'll also hear how past wounds resurface in present conflicts and how to map those links so you can heal instead of recycle them. Expect actionable prompts to identify your repeating fight, the primary emotion beneath it, and the earliest memory it echoes. By reframing arguments as mirrors—not battles—you'll start releasing the monthly pain pattern and rebuilding trust, respect, and intimacy. If you're ready to stop the PMDD argument loop and reconnect with steadier communication, hit play, save these tools, and share them with your partner. If this helped, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the one fight you're retiring this month.Neutral moments shouldn't feel like alarms, yet PMDD can make a delayed text or a flat “sure” feel like the start of a fight you've already lost. We unpack hypervigilance—the brain's threat detector stuck on high—and show how past blowups and the luteal phase can turn everyday signals into panic, pushing both partners into sleepless nights, silent treatments, and “roommate mode.” You'll hear why unresolved conflicts amplify anxiety, how catastrophizing takes over, and what it takes to feel emotionally safe again without walking on eggshells.We get practical fast. Learn the evidence check to separate fact from fear, the 90-second reset to ride emotional surges before you speak, and self-soothing routines that reduce dependence on constant reassurance. We talk about gratitude as a nervous-system tool that trains your attention toward your partner's efforts instead of fixating on flaws, and we explore how protective withdrawal—pulling back to avoid pain—quietly erodes intimacy. You'll also get two clear paths for defusing tone and text triggers: request small behavior tweaks when possible, or reframe intent and retrain your own response when it isn't.Throughout, we emphasize customized repair—agreements, phrases, and routines tailored to your personalities and schedules—so your mind has proof that the next hard moment won't become the last disaster. When your relationship has a plan, your body stops bracing for impact. If a thumbs-up emoji can send you spiraling, or you're tired of the “are we okay?” loop, this conversation gives you practical language and tools to find calm, rebuild trust, and strengthen

In this episode of Our Classroom, Roberto Germán shares a powerful testimony from community member Justin Luttrull about a moment that unfolded in a breakout session at Calvin University.

“Creativitry," writes legendary playwright Stan Lai in the preface to his new book of that name, "Doesn't exist as a word. Just as all creative things do not exist -- until they do. "Rhymes with Artistry, and Chemistry, and Sorcery. "The know-how, practice and mastery of creativity." The overlap, undercurrents and  interplay of creativity and curiosity come up a lot here, which only heightened my delight at being joined by creativity master Stan Lai, known as “the major contemporary Asian playwright of his time...perhaps of all time."

Turning Curiosity into Research Ideas, Questions, and AimsThis episode of the JACCP Podcast, featuring Drs. Michael Ernst and Gary Cochran, breaks down the often-intimidating process of generating and refining research ideas. The experts stress that good research stems from curiosity and deep background knowledge. They recommend using a structured format, like the PICOT framework, to translate broad concepts into precise, researchable questions and testable aims. The discussion concludes with essential career advice: seeking out mentors, leveraging collaborative networks, and being purposeful in professional development. Read the full manuscript.Key Issues DiscussedSources of Research Inspiration: Drawing ideas from clinical practice, intellectual curiosity, lectures/grand rounds, journal clubs, and informal "coffee rounds."The Importance of Background Work: Developing a deep knowledge of the literature to ensure the research idea is novel and adds value.Structuring the Research Question: Using frameworks (e.g., PICOT) to clearly define the population, intervention, comparator, and outcome.Refining Aims and Hypothesis: Keeping the number of aims simple and limited and understanding that a research question goes through an iterative refinement process.Advice for Junior Investigators: Identifying successful mentors, utilizing developmental programs (like ACCP's FIT and MERIT), and building collaborative networks.

From working on a dairy farm at age 10 to leading a major distribution company, Paul Kennedy's path to the C-suite is anything but typical. In this episode of the Driven by DCKAP podcast, Paul shares how he went from Navy intelligence analyst to plumber to President & CEO of DSG—all without a college degree. His secret? Curiosity, surrounding himself with people smarter than him, and being discovered by mentors who saw potential he didn't see in himself.Paul opens up about transforming DSG's growth from reactive to strategic, his unique approach to spotting talent (hint: it may have something to do with how fast someone walks), and why meeting people where they are is essential to great leadership. He also touches on DSG's approach to cultivating new talent in the industry, by offering scholarships for aspiring tradespeople and supporting Moorhead Career Academy's distribution and transportation track, giving high schoolers real exposure to careers they might never have considered. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or navigating your own unconventional career path, Paul's insights on intentional growth, delegation, and letting go of what no longer serves you will challenge how you think about success.

What if the fastest way to grow is to stop judging yourself and start studying yourself? We dig into the practice of curiosity over condemnation and show how small, honest questions can unlock big changes. Instead of letting a harsh inner critic call the shots, we walk through simple ways to observe your thoughts, track your emotions, and name the patterns shaping your choices, so you can respond with wisdom rather than default reactions.We share practical tools that actually stick: journaling to move tangled feelings onto paper, a thought-feeling-behavior map to reveal what's driving your actions, and a gentle body check-in to notice signals you've been ignoring. We also talk about formation in everyday life—how subtle praise for perfection or years on autopilot can sculpt anxiety and people-pleasing just as powerfully as obvious traumas. Through stories and candid examples, we normalize struggle and highlight how faith and forgiveness create a secure base for growth, especially when your lived experience clashes with truths like being fearfully and wonderfully made.If you've ever said that's just my personality, we'll challenge that resignation and invite you to reclaim agency. Learn how to design environments that support you, from leaving space to decompress after crowds to seeking life-giving conversations that refuel your energy. To help you start, we share a short weekly exercise: audit your mental loops, identify emotions that aren't serving you, and pick one small experiment to run tomorrow. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a kinder inner voice, and leave a review with your biggest insight—what did you notice when you got curious?

It's staggering that Jesus asked a total of 339 questions recorded in the four Gospels. He knew all the answers, yet focused much of His interaction with people by asking them questions. If the One who knew all things asked questions, shouldn't we be more curious? If we stop asking questions, we will find ourselves in the 'LAND OF SETTLE' and trust me, it's a dreary place.

This episode features Todd Hazen, Head of Technical Recruiting at Gusto, in a candid conversation about what it takes to move from non-tech recruiting into the world of technical hiring. Todd shares how he built credibility, developed deep connections, and learned to thrive in a space that demands both curiosity and humility. For talent professionals navigating transitions, this one is packed with lessons on leadership, learning, and trust. Key Takeaways • Curiosity beats confidence when entering a new domain. Ask questions, even when you're in a leadership role. • Building trust with stakeholders comes from honesty and follow-through, not from having every answer on the spot. • The "bar" for great talent is always shifting. Calibration is an ongoing process, not a one-time intake. • Vulnerability accelerates growth. Owning what you don't know helps open doors to learning and partnership. • Growth and comfort never coexist. Real development happens when you lean into discomfort. Timestamped Highlights 00:43 Todd explains how Gusto supports small businesses and why that mission matters. 03:36 How he navigated the move from non-technical to technical recruiting and what he learned from his team. 06:16 Finding the bar for technical talent and how calibration evolves with each hiring manager. 08:46 Why humility and curiosity are the fastest paths to growth. 12:43 How to handle tough stakeholder conversations when you don't have all the answers. 15:09 Taking career risks, betting on yourself, and embracing discomfort. 17:45 Defining the North Star and learning to master the craft before chasing the next title. One to Remember "It's okay to be humbled and vulnerable. You don't have to know everything, but you do have to keep learning." Pro Tips • Approach every intake meeting like a learning opportunity. • Build trust by following up fast—deliver before people have to ask. • Use data to frame conversations with hiring managers, not to replace judgment. Call to Action If you found Todd's perspective valuable, share this episode with a fellow recruiter who's looking to grow into new spaces.

Zennurgy is a manifestation of inqisitiveness. It was born from examined questions.1. How can I use quarantine to grow?2. What skills contribute to self development and becoming my full self?3. How can this self development journey become a community where people can contribute their journey and wisdom?We've now been on this journey 5 years.While often used interchangeably, inquisitiveness and curiosity have subtle differences. Curiosity is a general desire to learn and explore, while inquisitiveness emphasizes the active pursuit of knowledge through questioning and investigation. In essence, curiosity is the motivation, and inquisitiveness is the action driven by that motivation. Think of it this way: A curious person might be fascinated by self development, while an inquisitive person would actively try to understand what it is, how it works, and where it came from by asking questions and examining it. That's what we do here.And fostering inquisitiveness is important because it can lead to:1. Life long learning2. Empathy3. Deeper skill building and understanding and morePaul Edge is an indie author who writes SciFi predominantly because it allows him to test his characters' endurance and abilities when pitted against impossible situations.

In this episode of the Slow Style Home Podcast, I speak with Michal Silver, Creative Director at Christopher Farr Cloth, whose work is guided by curiosity, collaboration, and a deep respect for history. Michal shares how their textiles and wallpapers grow slowly from long conversations with artists, archives, and craftspeople around the world—allowing time for ideas to unfold rather than following fast-paced production cycles. She reflects on the joy of being pushed out of her comfort zone, the role of the hand in design, and the importance of creating interiors that feel personal and lived-in rather than perfect. Ultimately, this conversation is about embracing the slow evolution of home and creativity—letting spaces grow with us, layer by layer. Want to finally define your style?

Send us a textJames Chicano is a nationally recognized conflict resolution expert, facilitator, and leadership coach with over 25 years of experience. He specializes in helping leaders navigate high-stress and high-stakes challenges with clarity and composure. James has worked on hundreds of complex cases across both the public and private sectors, focusing on workplace conflict, organizational change, team dysfunction, and multi-stakeholder tension. He emphasizes the importance of being "conflict competent" as a leader and discusses the need to hone skills that many leaders often overlook, including negotiation, mediation, and coaching. Throughout the conversation, James imparts valuable insights into the nature of conflict and how it can be transformed into a constructive force for organizational improvement.James underscores the critical competencies required for effective conflict management, such as emotional intelligence, assertiveness, and deep listening. Attuned to the dynamics of modern workplaces, he also shares unconventional methodologies like breathwork to manage tension, encouraging leaders to explore new ways of fostering healthy communication and understanding.Key Takeaways:Conflict Competency: Leaders need to develop conflict management skills, including negotiation and facilitation, which are often underemphasized in traditional leadership training.Attitude, Process, and Skills: These three dimensions—attitude towards conflict, processes for resolution, and specific skills like deep listening and empathy—are crucial in managing disagreements effectively.Emotional Regulation: Techniques like breathwork can help leaders and employees alike manage emotions and maintain focus during challenging conversations.Curiosity and Listening: Staying open and curious, coupled with deep listening, can open pathways to understanding and resolving conflicts constructively.Owning the Approach: Leaders must decide and own their role in a conflict, choosing between engagement, coaching, or facilitation strategies to manage tensions effectively.Notable Quotes:"Conflict is a phenomenon of difference, and it occurs all over. The question is, what strategies are available to deal with it?""In my mind, we have to be very deliberate about how we engage in conflict.""Leaders are expected to have a multitude of different capacities when addressing conflict.""Effective communication is the creation of shared meaning—it doesn't mean we agree, but we have a sense of where we're each coming from."Resources:James Chicano on LinkedInUniversity of Victoria: Website (implicit reference)For more episodes like this and to remain updated, connect through the "Leadership Moments" podcast on Instagram and LinkedIn.All episodes and guest requests can be found at:www.leadershipmomentspodcast.comFollow Stacey Caster on Instagram @staceycaster_Follow Tracy-Ann Palmer on Instagram @tracy_ann_palmer

This week, we sit down with Liz Reeves, Director of Client Care Operations at a North Carolina-based healthcare software company backed by Bertelsmann, to unpack a deceptively simple question: how do you use AI to reduce admin work without diluting the human experience? We go deep on “human first, human last,” the realities of a highly regulated industry, and why agentic AI belongs behind the scenes—freeing teams to spend more time with customers and clinicians, not less.Liz shares how her org supports everything post-sale (customer education, community, chat, quality, and tooling for CS, Support & ProServ), plus concrete ways AI is elevating sales outreach (data-driven “next best” motions), implementation (shorter time-to-value), and support (less swivel-chair, more relationships). We also dig into hiring for the next five years—resiliency, intellectual agility, and relentless curiosity over narrow hard skills—and the downstream impact: when you remove administrative burden, patients ultimately benefit. Cameos include Sean's ultramarathons, Klarna's course correction on AI, and Lucy the very good dog. If you're thinking about AI in healthcare, customer experience, or building fast-moving post-sale teams, this one's for you.

Welcome to episode #1009 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). The future isn't something to predict... it's something to practice. Few people embody that idea more completely than Nick Foster, a designer, futurist and author whose work has quietly influenced some of the most innovative companies on the planet - from Sony, Nokia, and Dyson to Google X, where he served as head of design. In his new book, Could Should Might Don't - How We Think About The Future, Nick challenges the way we imagine what comes next. Rather than offering forecasts, he explores four mindsets - could, should, might, and don't - that shape how individuals and organizations approach uncertainty. In this conversation, Nick reflects on his evolution from industrial design to futures thinking, examining how curiosity fuels creativity, why nostalgia shapes our forward gaze and how responsibility must now sit at the core of every design decision. He questions the seductive influence of science fiction on our collective imagination and unpacks the cultural anxieties that accompany rapid technological change. What emerges is not a roadmap to the future but a framework for thinking. One grounded in humility, storytelling and the courage to sit with what we don't yet know. For Nick, futures design is not about prediction... it's about perspective. Enjoy the conversation… Running time: 1:01:27. Hello from beautiful Montreal. Listen and subscribe over at Apple Podcasts.
