When we get others to engage in curiosity and question answering with us, our success in so many ways is enhanced. Being connected to others in this way can become one of our superpowers.

Being curious about the parallels between diverse areas of engagement in learning brings about great insight. Solving that curiosity leads to much greater creativity. 

Solving the big questions is engaging. It is often the micro questions, the questions about the small things that lead us to the big breakthroughs. Here's how to engage that more. 

In this episode, we unpack the power of attention in shaping which of your beliefs take root, especially when they conflict. Most of us carry both empowering and limiting beliefs: “I can do anything” vs. “I’ll probably fail.” The question is, which one do you feed? Using the classic story of the two wolves, we explore how attention acts as fuel—strengthening the beliefs we focus on and filtering how we interpret our experiences. When you learn to consciously direct your attention toward the beliefs that empower you, you create the internal conditions to grow, succeed, and thrive.

Far too often we get overly comfortable with what we think we know. Curiosity breaks this out of this and expands our world.

In this episode, we explore how the quality of our attention can determine the quality of our experiences—especially in high-pressure situations like tests, work, or social interactions. When our attention fixates on what could go wrong, it pulls us into anxiety and past failures. But when we train our attention to anticipate positive outcomes, we create the mental conditions for success. Learn how to shift your focus from fear to possibility, and discover why disciplined attention is the key to unlocking the results you truly want.

The process of learning and curiosity begins with asking questions. The better quality of our questions, the better the quality of our answers and the more that we learn. This is essential.
