Curiosity Continuum

Join Brian and Josh as they discuss this very prescient topic about AI and how humans interact with the future of technology.

How do you envision the AI human construct and its integration into everyday life?

Listen to the discussion in this 2-part episode .

You have the power to change. How do you actively perceive the positive in other people? Are you passively consuming large amounts of negativity? Have your giftings been twisted? How do you stay attached to the realities of real world and become the change for good? 

Who is someone that complements you well, and you, them? How does trust factor into the level of collaboration? When has a partnership gone sideways, and why did it go that way?

How deep does your line of questioning go when you are curious? When do you feel like you can most freely ask questions? Do you allow yourself to be questioned by others? Why or why not?

Are you primarily a solo creative or a collaborative creative? What can you achieve better and faster with collaboration? What exercises do you need each for, and why?

Discover Victor Wooten's album, " A Show of Hands," that Brian mentioned on the episode.

Have you perceived differences in creative quality by being in the room together versus remote? Where do you want to be away? When do you want to be collaborating real-time? At what scale of project is this important?

Solo episodes are our chance for you the listener to get to know us separately without the confines of the other. In this episode, I (Josh) talk just very briefly about friendship. However, I delve deeper into the future of Curiosity Continuum as we know it, showing some of the inner workings of all of it.     

Do you have a special skill from childhood that you didn't fully understand until adulthood? What did you use to refine it? When did you realize it all?

How do you think about other people's stories? What do you do to let your heart listen to others? Why do we need both?

A special guest voice enters the conversation to add their perspective.

Who has spoken big words into you ears? How has that affected your life arc? What did they do? Why did it impact you?

How do you plan for the future? What are you dreaming about? Why?

Brian looks ahead in a solo episode for the future of Curiosity Continuum.

Is there ever really the perfect time for anything? How do you make your own opportunities? What is your key to making something happen? How do you prepare for what you don’t know maybe around the corner?

Have you ever traced the fruit of your inspiration back to the individual seeds? Does innovation happen all at once? What still inspires you after many cycles of life?

Did you ever find yourself somewhere and ask, "Why am I here?" Have you ever wondered how you can find yourself "there"? How much do you think about things before jumping off into something new?

A Special Encore Presentation, especially timely as people begin to imagine a new future for life, work, play, and new adventures.

Meet Kris Kelso, a person with a great track record of iterating and innovating their own life for decades. We sat down with Kris to discuss how his conversation with an executive coach years ago about imposter syndrome piqued his curiosity. That turned into more conversations, that turned into a talk, that turned into a keynote, that turned into a book. What do you have in your hands that could turn into something else that could meaningfully help others?

Roundtable adds people to the Loop to expand the conversation and explore topics through the voices and experiences of others.

Are you thankful? Have you stopped to think about what you have to be thankful for in the midst of a trying circumstances? Do you know what that can do for you as well as other people?

When you come back to a familiar construct after you have been away or the normal flow has been disrupted, how do you process the return to form? What does the return make you want to do? How does it work for others?

Josh replies to Brian: What do you think of when you think about balance? Are you good at it? How do you do it in the context of work/play/life? Josh provides his counter perspective and offers his way to balance his life of work and play.

Josh jury-rigs an old podcast setup in a makeshift post-Hurricane Ian broadcast rig to respond to Brian's Solo (B7) episode on The Aftermath.
