Curiosity is the engine.Questions worth sharing
Curiosities is what I call the questions I keep coming back to about minds, behaviour, and performance — and the answers I think are worth sharing.
For years, most of those answers stayed in my own notes. That seemed a little pointless if they might be useful, or at least interesting, to someone else. So I'm starting to share them here.
Right now, that mostly means writing. Some questions are better talked through on the podcast. Others may become a tool or handout. For now, the questions are mine. Eventually, I'd like some of them to come from you.
