Curiosity Continuum

(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.

What are the hallmarks of a healthy community? What do you nerd out about that you would love to find others who share your nerdery and nerd out together? 

Did you receive proper validation as you grew? Where are you looking for that high fidelity feedback loop? How does it impact your life? What does it all mean? Whose words are big in your ears and why?    

A personal episode with Josh, quietly ushering our fifth year of the podcast.  Josh gives listeners a much asked for catchup on his reality, related to his house rebuilt after Hurricane Ian (it's a months long process, and still going!). He also leans in with expectation for the roadmap ahead for the continuing Curiosity Continuum adventures. As always, sign up for email updates and drop us a note...

Join Brian and Josh as they discuss this very prescient topic about AI and how humans interact with the future of technology. How do you envision the AI human construct and its integration into everyday life? Listen to the first part of the discussion in this 2-part episode.

You have the power to change. How do you actively perceive the positive in other people? Are you passively consuming large amounts of negativity? Have your giftings been twisted? How do you stay attached to the realities of real world and become the change for good? 

Who is someone that complements you well, and you, them? How does trust factor into the level of collaboration? When has a partnership gone sideways, and why did it go that way?

Solo episodes are our chance for you the listener to get to know us separately without the confines of the other. In this episode, I (Josh) talk just very briefly about friendship.
