Summary

In this episode, Scott Shigeoka shares insights on the power of curiosity and its ability to transform our lives and the world.

Scott Shigeoka is an internationally recognized curiosity expert, speaker, and author. He has taught courses on curiosity at The University of Texas at Austin and explored its role in positive well-being and relationships at U.C. Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. Scott has taken a 45,000-mile road trip around the country to delve into uncomfortable situations and bridge divides through curiosity.

In our conversation, Scott emphasizes that curiosity is not just a personality trait but the foundation of connection, growth, and healing. He introduces his "DIVE" model, which helps activate deep curiosity by guiding us to detach from assumptions and biases, intend to prepare our mindset, value the dignity of every person, and embrace the hard times in life.

Some highlights we explore:

The importance of curiosity in navigating societal challenges and building connections
How curiosity can transform our lives and help us understand different perspectives
The "DIVE" model and practical strategies to cultivate curiosity
and so much more!

Enjoy!
