Curiosity Didn't Kill the Cat

Curiosity is the engine that powers everything in this fast-moving episode. Hosts Karina Kampe and Maria Wronski-Ellis trade enlightening sharp turns—from Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer’s “curiosity conversations” to a 1916 feminist poem remix—showing how better questions unlock creativity, accountability and everyday joy. Along the way you’ll learn the three scientific styles of curiosity, get a dopamine-driven tour of the brain, and pick up a 7-day micro-challenge that fits in your pocket. Whether you’re a startup founder, a side-hustler or a lifelong learner, this episode proves curiosity isn’t a cat-killer; it’s your nine-life superpower.Topics coveredCuriosity as “cognitive courage” and how it rewires creativityThe three evidence-based curiosity styles—and how to spot yoursBrian Grazer’s 35-year ritual of interviewing extraordinary peopleDopamine loops, information gaps and why cliff-hangers hook the brainTiny experiments: using 20-minute daily practices to spark insightEdith Södergran’s “Vierge moderne” and Karina's modern remixExternal resourcesBrian Grazer – “A Curious Mind” Grazer’s 3-min Curiosity Conversations video – Loewenstein G.
