In Episode 10 of Unfinished Minds, “Curiouser and Curiouser”, Amy and Ben tumble down the rabbit hole of their shared core value: Curiosity. They explore that undeniable itch - the one that makes some learners just gotta know how things work, even when the answers aren't easy.
Amy and Ben debate whether true learning can happen without that spark, or if we are just "going through the motions." The conversation expands into how curiosity acts as a form of bonding (holding hands while staring into the abyss), why "stocking the cupboard" with skills is the ultimate future-proofing strategy, and whether it’s possible to be too curious.
Finally, they discuss a powerful mental pivot: how to turn the anticipation of conflict into an opportunity for connection by simply asking questions.
