Start With Wow: Why Wonder Is the Beginning of Wisdom


Listen Later

What if the thing you’ve been missing isn’t more information…but more wonder?


In this first episode of The Wisdom of Wow Podcast, Harris and Kate share the story behind the show — why it exists, why now, and why they believe wonder is not a luxury, but a necessity for living a grounded, meaningful life.


We’re living in a world overflowing with answers, opinions, and noise — yet so many people feel overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected. In this conversation, we explore a counterintuitive idea: that wisdom doesn’t begin with certainty or solutions, but with curiosity. With awe. With wow.


This episode is an invitation to slow down, ask better questions, and reconnect with the story you’re living — not just the one you’ve been told.


In this episode, we explore:

  • Why wonder fades in adulthood — and what that costs us
  • The difference between knowledge and wisdom
  • How wonder shapes our stories, relationships, and sense of meaning
  • Why “starting with how” often shuts down clarity and peace
  • How reclaiming wonder can change the way you see your life

A reflection to carry with you:


Think back to the last time you felt genuine wonder. What was different about you in that moment?


If you’re feeling tired, stuck, or unsure what story you’re living — this episode is a place to begin again.
