ABOUT CURIOUSER

Curiouser is stories and interviews for the perpetually curious. We embrace voices from the world of science, history, faith, arts and culture to spark conversation and drive innovation in business leadership.

Curiosity, in our view, is a renewable resource and one of the single greatest attributes a leader can possess: it’s a gateway to empathy (seeking to understand others), creativity (seeking to understand alternative paths), and innovation (seeking to understand — and break — limits).

Get “Curiouser” about life and the world will always be fresh and full of potential.
