Welcome to The Thought Department — where curiosity gets its own desk.  Every week, we ask five small questions that somehow lead to the big ones — Where have we been? And who or what has inspired us? What have we noticed and when did it hit us? And in the end, why does it matter?  It’s thoughts, culture, emotion, and the best examples of positives that we can find, week on week. We’ll share the concepts, people, ideas, and revelations that have got us thinking. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
