The Curiosity Project

CBD is not something that either of us have ever been exposed to as neither of us have ever been marijuana smokers. However, after a friend of mine exposed me to the wonders that CBD has performed for him I became curious. It was not until Access CBD reached out to us for a collaboration where we decided to take a deep dive in to this industry and what we found was pleasantly surprising. 

In this episode we will be discussing some initial research and discoveries we have made on CBD, what it is, why it is used and how it can benefit you. We want you to join us on this journey we take to uncover the intricacies of CBD.

We have received many messages asking why we haven't been posting any new episodes, well unfortunately I tested positive for Covid-19 and have been self isolating. 

We decided to record this episode where I explain the symptoms and feelings I experienced during this ordeal. We implore you to accept the fact that this is far more then a 'bad flu'. This is a virus that can make you extremely unwell and in some cases lead to death. We must come together to fight this and make sure that we don' subject one another to the pain and discomfort I experienced. 

As we have discussed in our previous episodes we are huge believers in unleashing your creativity and always exploring what helps you do that, whether its blogging, building, painting, videography or photography, we encourage you to try it all! However in this episode we talk about a hobby we have been practicing for several years and that is photography. 

We talk about the beauty of photography, what we love about it and why it is important to use a dedicated camera as opposed to your phone. Of course there is no doubt you can get great shots with your iPhone, however photography is much much then just getting great shots. This is part one in a series of episodes all about photography, helping people to get in to it  or appealing to those of our audience who are more seasoned!

As avid home cooks and self proclaimed foodies we found ourselves discussing the ethics or certain farmed produce and naturally Foie Gras came up! Due to the prohibitive price point of Foie Gras it seems that this mysterious food has managed to travel under many peoples radar, however, it is not so much the food itself that we shall be discussing but the farming techniques. There is great debate on whether or not the farming of Foie Gras is ethical so here is our take on that subject.

As podcast hosts we value great quality conversation, however, what does great conversation mean? The "what is your favourite" question seems to be a hallmark of conversation and relationship building. In fact I would use the question myself to strike points of interest and further a conversation but why do we use that question so profusely? Is there a secret meaning behind that question? Are we asking it hide our true intentions? 

We discuss why this question is used and the numerous settings and situations it is used that subverts our understanding of this innocent question. The key question is is the your favourite question a good thing?

On a more serious note, time travel has always been something that fascinates me, in fact, when I was 15 the first speech I made was on stellar mathematics! However today we are playing doctor who, if we had a time machine where would we travel to and why? 

We would love to know what you guys would do so feel free to let us know!

As you are well aware we are both practicing minimalist, we only keep things in our life if they suit a certain criteria and conclusively provide happiness and value to our lives. Of course this applies to everything, however, clothing is easily something many can get carried away with, owning clothes that still have the tags on months later is a common occurrence! 

In this episode we discuss what to look for in a pair of trousers/pants and what to avoid. How can you get the greatest bang for buck for style and quality? We use Artisan Lab's fantastic new trousers and a prime example of what brands should be aiming for and what consumers should be aware of.

Movies have been a big part of our episodes from day 1. Both being movie buffs means that we tend to see many movies together, one in particular seemed to stand out to us and we of course we reserved discussion until we got to the studio! 

We discuss the socio-economic ideas that are explored in this movie and tackle the question whether or not the ideas were portrayed effectively and entertainingly. 

Constructing a great CV is easier said then done, some spend a lifetime without perfecting the nuances of what makes a CV stand out. As the job environment changes like never before and the arena becomes more competitive there has never been a better time to jazz up your CV. Having been on both sides of creating and reviewing CV's we have decided to create the second part to our 'interview' episode. 

We explore what makes a CV unique, what you can do to improve the content, format and layout of your CV and what to avoid.
