The Curiosity Project

Exploration and curiosity go hand in hand. The recent success of the Space X ISS mission has of course triggered new interest, people are no talking once again about what is beyond the stars, whether we can live on mars and if one they 'they' can also visit other planets. However, a continuous stigma that has been attached to space campaigns is "is it worth it?" Why should we continue to fund space exploration when we are problems here on earth. 

In this episode we discuss whether the previous question has any credence and why it is important for the furthering of the human species that we continue to support and fund space travel. This particular subject goes beyond space exploration, to be curious is in our DNA, it is part of what makes us ambitious and thoughtful individuals, for future generation we must encourage the growth and expansion of the human existence!

I don't believe this episode needs much of a description. With the recent events following George Floyd's murder the world has now started to recognise the overt and covert discrimination of people of colour. This started off in the US but the message has now reverberated across the world causing action and conversations to happen around this subject. 

As two people of colour and from 2 different generations we experience racism on a daily basis in the UK. It is now time to have this conversation, to understand what us and many around the world have to deal with, how we deal with it and how it can change.

The heat in the UK seems to have finally gotten us, far too hot and bothered to actually be satirical about something we decided to put each others survival instincts to the test and grill each other on how we would fare in a cast away situation. What would we do? What would our priorities be? Since the entire pretence of this episode was primarily to poke fun at each other we want you to to think what you would do in a similar situation, would you be able to survive? Would you go mad? Or would you thrive?

From the success of the previous mineral water episode we were requested to explore a particular water we mentioned called Svalbardi, this is a glacial water that retails for £100! In this episode we give our feedback and opinions of that particular water and explore whether or not this luxury water is actually worth it. We also delve in to other luxury waters that go up to £100,000 a bottle, this is absolutely a world seldom talked about seriously but is extraordinarily interesting!

Music has always been something important for both of us and to have a great HIFI system thoroughly improves the entire experience. But where do you start? The speakers? The amp? The cables?

As hard as we try to avoid political discussion, every now and again there comes an event that is even too juicy for us to resist. The matter of Dominic Cummings is indeed a strange one. The master mind behind Brexit and the conservative election campaign clearly breaking lockdown rules and getting away with it. 

Apologies for being late to this one, it was scheduled to be uploaded last Wednesday but BLM took precedent.

I am sure the Easter eggs we have been dropping now make sense! We are no longer called Coffee and Conversations and have now rebranded as The Curiosity Project. In this episode we will be talking about why we decided to rebrand, how we did it, the people we worked with, our methods of growing the podcast and much more! 

What has become evident is being able to work efficiently and effectively in a collaborative way in perhaps one of the most important traits to have in todays work environment. Whether you are planning a barbecue with your family or in your final sprint on a project, or rebranding a podcast, being able to work with a team and balance your strengths and weaknesses is paramount to achieving a great result. We hope you like the new look and enjoy the future content!

Welcome to The Curiosity Project! 

We are both very excited to announce to both our current listeners and future listeners that we are no longer Coffee and Conversations. With our amazing growth - all thanks to you guys - we have now rebranded to The Curiosity Project with we find to be far more befitting and encompassing of our episodes! 

Black lives matter, say no to racism.

The word procrastinator tends to immediately conjure up prejudices of negativity. This is not your fault but yet something that has been ingrained in your brain since childhood. "Focus! concentrate! Stop slacking!" these are common phrases that people who procrastinate would encounter on a daily basis, so of course the entire idea behind procrastination seems like a terrible idea, but is it? We believe that the very definition of procrastination is flawed! 

We discuss what procrastination is, why it is perceived as a bad thing, what makes it a good thing and how practicing procrastination can in fact benefit your life. However, it is easy to get carried away with things, it is important - as with anything - that we remain diligent and use procrastination to our benefit.
