I think it's fair to describe first-time author and long-time educator Scott Shigeoka as a curiosity activist. His debut book SEEK: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life & Change the World focuses on what Scott calls “deep curiosity” -- the search for understanding that leads to connection and transformation and, in so doing, makes people feel seen and heard...reminding them that they matter.

That's no small thing in a time of profound incuriosity.

In the first episode, we dig into some of my favorites among his many curiosity practices, like: "Be an admitter" -- seeing the joy in saying "I don't know" and centering on the relationship, rather than being right. I've found "Visualize yourself being curious" really helpful in those moments when I just don't feel the least bit curious. And, I've got some bonus content from his book and other recent writing as well!
