Curiosity Continuum

Join us for an informal-ish Part 2 where Josh shares some back of house leader stories. This builds on a key episode (People as a Resource) in talking about how people show up for their work, which is an even hotter topic than when Brian and Josh first talked about it over 3 years ago.

You can listen to the original episode here.

Questions:

Are you a boss, a manager, or a leader? Why do people trust to you?

Do you implement what is important, and show up with your actions to back it up? 

Where do the highways and byways of your mind take you in your thinking? Have you considered the condition of those paths? Are there new paths you have yet to try?

What have you learned from the older generations? Josh and Brian discuss their grandparents and what lessons we can glean and apply today.

Youth-centric cultures are quick to dismiss the adaptive expertise that was required to live in a pre-digital world. Josh and Brian talk about their grandpas as they pick up the conversation about the enduring wisdom of the older generations.

What wisdom do you carry that was caught from someone older than you?

How does boredom affect you? How do you rest? Do the dreams you have change when you have adequate fallow mental moments? How do you solve it?

Nobody died from being bored. In fact, it can spark curiosity. That's a good thing!

Heroes travel many different kinds of arcs across timeless stories. What is a hero? What kinds of hero stories resonate with you? Why? Who tells the stories? Who is impacted?

Context is key in properly perceiving and understanding people and the world around us. Listen to this conversation about Contextual Awareness, with a special guest intro by Sabrina.

What is your power dynamic? How does that work with others? Can we learn something about power by studying animals? Are you ready for power transitions? Are you scared of someone else's power? 

If something is common, does that make it normal? Who defines normal? How are you adapting to new norms and adjusting your normal to integrate with the changing world?

One of the most powerful topics discussed on Curiosity Continuum, contextual awareness brings deeper understanding and knowledge on every topic. How do you take a step back to understand your own frame and the assumptions it is built upon? How do you break apart the components of context during your intake of information?

What is a mobius loop? How does it relate to learning and knowledge transfer? How are you giving and receiving information?

Just like exploring the open world of The Legend of Zelda, Brian and Josh pick up their conversation on one of their most popular episodes, The Lessons of Zelda, and unpack more strategies for real life gleaned from one of their favorite game series of all time.

Conversations are an art form that everyone can become a better artist. Learn how to have better conversations during your daily adventures.

How does the order of power and authority express itself in your life? Are you prepared for future responsibilities? How have you shared knowledge and opportunity to train up the next generation to thrive at life?

What are the hallmarks of functional, meaningful knowledge transfer between diverse communication and learning styles? What are the outcomes that spring from effective understanding of ideas between people? What should leaders remember when transferring knowledge to those they lead?

This riff tackles the real “adult situations,” the need to unplug, tuning out, tuning up, and how work cadence and productivity changes and stuff gets done as you move along your timeline. 

What do you just geek out about and find yourself unable to contain your enthusiasm in a conversation? Do you share it with the world, or do you keep it to yourself? What piques your curiosity now?

What are the hallmarks of a healthy community? What do you nerd out about that you would love to find others who share your nerdery and nerd out together? 

Collaboration is a word often used, rarely practiced. How do we actually work together? How can we find a way forward?
