Be Radically Authentic: Chasing Curiosity and Sharing Boundless Insights from Ideas that Matter
Manage episode 470679108 series 3550946
Today we talk to Bob London, or as I call him, "Mr. Curious." Bob is basically a professional listener. He is an expert in helping people connect and understand one another, and is the mastermind behind the concept of Radically Authentic Discovery. The idea of curiosity is something I’m incredibly passionate about and is the core idea behind this podcast. So this conversation meant a lot to me. I talk to Bob about chasing our curiosity in both our personal and professional lives, and he shares practical tips on building richer relationships by embracing awkward silences and simply shutting the fuck up.
