Curiosity Continuum

Do you overcomplicate things? Who do you know that can clearly and concisely convey thoughts and direction masterfully? Why should we care about such things?

Do you fear being wrong? What happens when we don't learn from it? How do you treat others when they are wrong?

Why do we need to modify models in the real world? What do you do to adapt something to make it practically work? How do you approach adaptation in your life and career? What's an example in your life of the impact of the iteration of the model?

Exploring how an old high school science project went down, your hosts talk about how they made it work and adapted along the way. What blast from the past project do you remember that made you learn a lot? Who did you work on it with, and what roles did you play? How did the project turn out?

Rest is not a four-letter word. Well, it is, but not a bad one. It's a good thing, and increasingly scarce, in today's world.

EDITOR'S NOTE: (Josh here) This episode is a very selfish one as I feel both Brian and I need to hear this again. Thank you for your continued support!

(Learning the new recording platform - thanks for listening for content!)

How has your position on the timeline of your life affect your wisdom? How has your perspective changed over time? What can you share with others that will help them leap in understanding beyond their years?

How do you think about the future - Dystopia or Utopia? Have you noticed how much you can stay in dystopia without the hope of utopia to drive you forward? Explore the hope of the endless good more expansive than the cosmos as we talk about the realities affected through the experience of Brian and Josh and their love of Star Trek.

Unepisodes capture the in-between talk of recording “real" episodes. Topics are fluid. Any takeaways are caught instead of taught. Come eavesdrop on our conversation!

Touching on: Speaking less, the cover of words, real-world processes, emotional objections to logical answers, filtered synthesis of improvement, acknowledgement of contribution of others, deferring change for reflection.

How can we disagree and still remain friends? Have you ever changed your mind drastically after humbly and actively listening, contemplating, and arriving at a very different answer?

For an example of a drastic change of mind, be sure to check out the case of J.Warner Wallace. 

Brian interviews Josh on the leadership principles and approach he used to become one of the best in the world for Gears of War 2, when he was under resourced and at a tactical disadvantage.
