60. Survivor Science Soundbites: Curiosity in Recovery: The Questions That Drive Us

Send us a text

In Survivor Science Soundbite #3, I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind all weekend—curiosity. For me, curiosity might be the most powerful driver in my stroke recovery, pushing me to ask deeper questions, try new things, and shape a path that feels right for me. But is curiosity really the key to recovery, or is this just my own way through?

Join me as I explore why curiosity can shake things up, especially when standard approaches fall flat. I’ll share my perspective, and I’d love to hear yours too—how does curiosity shape your recovery? I hope this episode gives you something useful, even fun, to think about as we kick off the week together.

00:00:01.739 --> 00:00:03.779
Welcome to number three.

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:05.759
Servers on sound bites.

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.109
Today is Monday, November 18th, 2024.

00:00:10.619 --> 00:00:13.439
And I have been thinking about a lot of things this weekend.

00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:14.580
I hope you had a good weekend.

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:15.779
I enjoyed myself.

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:20.460
I am fired up out the gate because I just finished the gym has I'm recording this.

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.910
And I literally got home and spilled my smoothie.

00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:26.339
All over the floor.

00:00:27.149 --> 00:00:30.120
Thankfully, I have a plastic mat underwear.

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.100
I'm sitting, filming this recording.

00:00:32.609 --> 00:00:35.729
And that caught most of it, but summit got on the carpet.

00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:38.670
So I am really fired up to start this little episode of.

00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:42.359
Survivor science soundbites, which are 10 to 15 minute discussions.

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.060
This one in particular on Mondays is to kind of kick off the week.

00:00:45.869 --> 00:00:47.969
What have I been thinking about over the weekend?

00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:49.649
I really.

00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:51.719
Think about a lot of things.

00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:52.890
That's why I enjoy running.

00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:54.750
It's a good time to clear my head.

00:00:55.619 --> 00:01:01.049
Sometimes those ideas that fumble around in my head while I'm running, they get lost in space.

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.890
They don't make it to a notepad or more, more likely my phone.

00:01:05.609 --> 00:01:06.269
I have.

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:08.069
10,000 thoughts a minute.

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:09.840
And yeah, so.

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.310
In preparation for the week, I was really thinking about what is.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.430
What's going on, what's kind of a theme.

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:18.599
What am I thinking about?

00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.310
And then I realized last night.

00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.040
I get the question a lot.

00:01:23.069 --> 00:01:24.060
How do I do it?

00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.500
How have I done it?

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:32.430
And I was reading a newsletter by Erica Schneider, who is a fantastic writer and editor.

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:34.260
Really like her stuff.

00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:36.900
And it got me thinking a little bit differently.

00:01:37.709 --> 00:01:38.430
Now I know.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.769
The load Bulsara was started because I'm a stroke survivor or living with Ms.

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.829
I, I still feel like the it's a good name.

00:01:46.829 --> 00:01:47.579
It's a good brand.

00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:48.569
It was a good start.

00:01:49.769 --> 00:02:00.209
I think, you know, a lot of the beginning was just me telling my story and I always going to tell my story, but it's share my perspective and share my journey.

00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.200
Survivors science is kind of that next step where I'm transitioning.

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:05.849
And I was thinking about that this week.

00:02:06.450 --> 00:02:10.349
So now my son is officially done with his first year of football.

00:02:10.349 --> 00:02:17.580
And the week, day nights are a little more calm for the time being until we headed into the next sports season.

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:24.750
So I am working on transitioning the entire brand to under the survivors science umbrella.

00:02:25.269 --> 00:02:28.900
So keep these episodes on Mondays and Fridays where I do the quick little sound bites.

00:02:29.949 --> 00:02:33.789
But anyways, and then the main show middle of the week, similar idea.

00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.240
Again, everything will kind of morph under the server science brand.

00:02:37.300 --> 00:02:40.180
Hopefully this week, definitely by the end of Thanksgiving.

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.699
Everything will be transitioned.

00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.569
It hopefully will be smooth, but more than likely we'll be a little bumpy.

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:47.710
We'll get there.

00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:48.310
We'll get through it.

00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:48.909
I'll get through it.

00:02:48.909 --> 00:02:50.199
We all served a stroke.

00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:51.789
It's not the end of the world.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.669
When it comes to things like this, it would be nice.

00:02:54.669 --> 00:03:00.550
And it would be lovely if everything was just super easy and smooth, but I suspect that will not be the case.

00:03:01.689 --> 00:03:03.699
Anyways, back to the question.

00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:06.939
I get a lot as a stroke survivor and you probably do too.

00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:09.460
If you're a stroke survivor out there, sharing your story.

00:03:09.539 --> 00:03:11.159
Talking with other survivors.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:13.710
I get it a lot.

00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:14.789
How do you do it?

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.800
Well, there's a lot of reasons.

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:18.240
It's pretty nuanced.

00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:20.159
I, you know, I have three kids.

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.889
I have a wife I've been fortunate to be able to.

00:03:23.310 --> 00:03:25.800
Spend a lot of time on my recovery.

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:28.349
But I was thinking about it.

00:03:28.349 --> 00:03:32.370
It's not, I can't pinpoint one specific thing.

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:35.550
There are definitely things that have been very helpful.

00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:37.599
That I didn't think it would be helpful.

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:44.830
There are moments in time looking back over the last five years and I'm sure another five years I'll have the same feeling and look back.

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.280
There's always going to be things we learn along the way.

00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:51.939
There's things that we all know internally, inherently.

00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:54.039
Sometimes we don't.

00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:02.740
Or at least I didn't, I didn't think to, you know, like somebody will tell you something and you'll be like, oh my God, I forgot that.

00:04:02.770 --> 00:04:03.699
That's so obvious.

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:05.530
Like, I should have thought of that sooner.

00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:12.189
And it's not that you didn't know it, you just forgot or I forgot, or, you know, these things happen.

00:04:12.189 --> 00:04:14.019
There's a lot going on stroke.

00:04:14.409 --> 00:04:17.980
Stroke is unfortunately just, it becomes part of your life.

00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:19.930
You kind of have to deal with it.

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.939
You could not deal with it, I suppose, but.

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.699
The majority of us are trying to deal with it.

00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:26.860
Life doesn't slow down.

00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:29.829
So it's you know, I think it's natural.

00:04:29.829 --> 00:04:31.389
We're going to forget things we're going to.

00:04:31.990 --> 00:04:35.290
Somebody will have said something along the way will have forgotten it.

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.660
Just like I was talking about where I had a million ideas running through my head running over the weekend.

00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:45.730
Some of them make it to, you know, my phone or a notebook or whatever, some of them don't.

00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:48.189
And it doesn't mean they're not important.

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:49.930
Doesn't mean I don't believe in them.

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.850
It's just, it's a lot.

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.230
So when I slow down and I think about everything.

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:01.420
I think for me, And this may be the case for you too.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:02.079
I hope it is.

00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:04.930
Or if it's not, I hope it will become the case for you.

00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:13.930
The thing that always is consistently helping me get better and continue to progress in my stroke recovery journey.

00:05:15.129 --> 00:05:19.060
Is that I'm just naturally a very curious person.

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:21.040
So.

00:05:21.819 --> 00:05:27.459
I don't want to make a declarative statement, but I think curiosity is a really big key.

00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:29.740
To soak recovery weather.

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.839
And I'll tell you why I think this.

00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.550
So I think this is for a lot of reasons, right?

00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:39.250
Is I was asking myself last night is curiosity the key to success in stroke recovery.

00:05:39.250 --> 00:05:40.930
And I think he kind of is.

00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:42.399
And here's why.

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:44.829
We all hear it all the time.

00:05:44.829 --> 00:05:46.000
Every stroke is different.

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.000
Every, every, every recovery journey is different.

00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:53.649
You can point to a lot of things are that are very helpful.

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.470
Like I think it's pretty common.

00:05:56.470 --> 00:06:04.329
I think it's, well-known like if you're able to get into an acute facility after your stroke and really start the rehab process.

00:06:05.170 --> 00:06:06.550
That is certainly helpful.

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:07.930
Not everybody's that lucky.

00:06:09.699 --> 00:06:12.730
So that's where curiosity kind of kicks in in the beginning.

00:06:13.389 --> 00:06:25.569
You know, Once the initial kind of wave of everything calms down and you wrap your head around the fact that you've had a stroke and that you're now a stroke survivor, not just temporarily for life.

00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:27.370
Okay.

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:29.170
Curiosity kicks in.

00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:30.279
How do I get better?

00:06:30.850 --> 00:06:32.889
What role does it really play?

00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:36.730
And I think it plays a big, big role because why.

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:39.550
Because again, we've heard it at nauseum.

00:06:40.029 --> 00:06:41.230
Every stroke is different.

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:42.069
Okay.

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.529
So, how does that relate to curiosity?

00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:49.100
Well, you know, for me, and I'm just going to share my perspective.

00:06:49.129 --> 00:06:53.089
Please try to extract what you can, from my perspective in this chat.

00:06:54.230 --> 00:06:56.720
You know, how can you apply it to your situation?

00:06:57.529 --> 00:06:58.310
I knew.

00:06:58.759 --> 00:06:59.240
Okay.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:01.370
I'm here.

00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:02.420
I can't walk.

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.459
How do I start to walk?

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:15.319
Like you have to sort of list out the things that you recognize, you know, I always say this too is like, We want to fix everything right.

00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:16.879
And that's super hard.

00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:17.810
You can't do that.

00:07:17.810 --> 00:07:18.439
I believe me.

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:19.129
I tried it.

00:07:19.129 --> 00:07:20.660
You can't fix everything overnight.

00:07:20.689 --> 00:07:24.589
You're probably not going to fix a whole lot, even in inpatient rehab.

00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:27.470
It'll probably take a year, couple of years.

00:07:27.740 --> 00:07:29.360
Um, again, everybody's different.

00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:31.370
But you sorta have to.

00:07:32.449 --> 00:07:33.560
Assess where you're at.

00:07:33.589 --> 00:07:36.769
Be honest about things with yourself, with your family.

00:07:37.459 --> 00:07:38.990
Make a long ass list.

00:07:39.050 --> 00:07:45.860
It's going to seem like an endless to do list and it probably is, but it just helps you kind of organize to get started.

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.829
Then you look at your list and your view.

00:07:48.829 --> 00:07:49.250
Okay.

00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:53.089
You know, this is work, curiosity kicks in as the driver.

00:07:53.089 --> 00:07:55.279
It's like, where do I want to start?

00:07:55.699 --> 00:07:57.199
Where do I think I can start?

00:07:57.769 --> 00:07:59.389
What's the most important thing to me.

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.360
Um, what can I do today?

00:08:02.389 --> 00:08:05.029
What is maybe a more long term?

00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:10.699
Again, this is kind of my insight to how I CA attacks my stroke recovery.

00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.040
And listen, I've gotten things wrong.

00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.560
I tried to do way too many things in the beginning.

00:08:16.730 --> 00:08:20.360
Which actually leads me to another thought, but I'm trying to stay on track with this.

00:08:20.509 --> 00:08:22.550
Um, yeah, so.

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.680
You know, I just got really curious cause I worked with my teams.

00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:32.750
I work with physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, all the therapy teams.

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:34.940
Even traditional therapy.

00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:38.929
Um, I explored cognitive behavioral therapy.

00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.649
Never actually wound up getting into a program specifically designed for that.

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.969
For a lot of reasons, because when I came out of inpatient COVID happened.

00:08:47.969 --> 00:08:49.139
Everything was shutting down.

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.308
Things were very weird.

00:08:50.308 --> 00:08:51.448
There were long lists.

00:08:51.619 --> 00:08:53.509
Just never got into it for some reason.

00:08:53.509 --> 00:08:56.178
I couldn't, maybe I could have exact re-examined it.

00:08:56.178 --> 00:08:57.739
But I think by the time I would have.

00:08:58.908 --> 00:09:02.178
And things were a little more opened up and there was more availability.

00:09:02.928 --> 00:09:06.528
I had just kind of gotten to a point where I felt pretty good about things.

00:09:07.308 --> 00:09:11.688
And I'll tell you, curiosity has been a real driver to this whole thing.

00:09:11.688 --> 00:09:12.499
Cause it's every time.

00:09:13.038 --> 00:09:13.639
I ask.

00:09:15.649 --> 00:09:29.239
I ask a shit ton of questions on a normal Tuesday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, whatever day of the week, I'm asking lots of questions to anybody that will answer anybody that will listen for any number of reasons, because I want to know.

00:09:30.438 --> 00:09:31.369
Why is this happening?

00:09:31.369 --> 00:09:32.269
Where's this?

00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:32.958
What is this?

00:09:32.958 --> 00:09:34.188
How could we do this better?

00:09:34.188 --> 00:09:44.178
I mean, if you looked at my chat history with the various AI platforms, I just ask a million questions and I ask a million more, how can we be better?

00:09:44.239 --> 00:09:45.259
How could I dig deeper?

00:09:45.288 --> 00:09:45.769
How could I.

00:09:46.249 --> 00:09:48.139
Re-examine this I'm thinking of this.

00:09:48.349 --> 00:09:49.548
Is there something I'm missing?

00:09:49.788 --> 00:09:50.749
Where could I look?

00:09:51.678 --> 00:09:53.899
You know, so I'm a really curious guy.

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.528
Naturally, it's annoying to some people.

00:09:57.558 --> 00:10:00.109
To me, I think it's kind of my superpower.

00:10:00.208 --> 00:10:01.678
I'm not the smartest guy in the room.

00:10:01.678 --> 00:10:05.698
Most of the time, I try to surround myself with pretty smart people.

00:10:06.178 --> 00:10:11.578
And I know that I don't know the answer to a lot of the things, but I'm really willing to do the work and dig it and find out.

00:10:11.578 --> 00:10:14.339
And I'm really good at that particular thing.

00:10:14.788 --> 00:10:16.259
Have the actual answers.

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:20.578
It takes me a lot more work than somebody who's just naturally brilliant.

00:10:20.668 --> 00:10:23.849
Um, You know, I'm lucky that people like that in my life.

00:10:24.509 --> 00:10:28.349
And they're always willing to help and answer the questions as long as I do.

00:10:29.548 --> 00:10:31.649
So it's not just about being curious.

00:10:31.678 --> 00:10:33.778
You can't be lazy when you ask these questions.

00:10:33.778 --> 00:10:36.839
In my opinion, I think you have to do a little bit of your own homework.

00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:39.389
That is getting harder, right?

00:10:39.389 --> 00:10:45.599
Because Google and other search platforms are less reliable as time goes on, because if you.

00:10:46.739 --> 00:10:51.089
You do a search in one area, you go to a coffee shop and do another search.

00:10:51.119 --> 00:10:55.048
Even if you have a VPN, like it all gets a little muddled.

00:10:55.889 --> 00:10:58.469
So you really have to become an expert at.

00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.099
Piecing together, different things from.

00:11:02.339 --> 00:11:05.038
You know, you take your curiosity and you do a big search.

00:11:05.458 --> 00:11:08.849
You almost have to become an investigative journalist at this point because.

00:11:09.509 --> 00:11:13.649
You can get a lot of answers, but are they, the right answers are the right answers for you.

00:11:13.678 --> 00:11:16.259
That's another thing about being curious and saying.

00:11:17.219 --> 00:11:18.839
Focused with your curiosity.

00:11:18.869 --> 00:11:25.589
Don't just, you can't be lazy just like you really, like if you really want to get better.

00:11:26.099 --> 00:11:27.149
As a stroke survivor.

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:29.188
You have to be open-minded.

00:11:29.188 --> 00:11:30.688
I think you have to be curious.

00:11:30.719 --> 00:11:39.058
You have to question yourself at times and not to a point where you're you're hindering yourself, but you really have to be honest with yourself, like.

00:11:40.078 --> 00:11:40.649
Okay.

00:11:41.548 --> 00:11:44.399
And again, curiosity kicks in where.

00:11:45.808 --> 00:11:53.068
The specifics around your stroke recovery, maybe you have right-hand deficits or right-side weakness your legs, right?

00:11:53.068 --> 00:11:54.749
Hopefully you're walking, but maybe.

00:11:55.948 --> 00:11:57.778
You know, your hand, doesn't quite do things.

00:11:57.778 --> 00:12:02.249
I saw some questions last week on Tik TOK, where people are like, well, I I'm trying to do this thing.

00:12:02.788 --> 00:12:07.048
And I'm lifting weights or I'm doing like leg press, but then my hand suddenly moves.

00:12:07.048 --> 00:12:09.418
And like that could be a lot of different reasons.

00:12:10.198 --> 00:12:10.438
Mike.

00:12:11.009 --> 00:12:19.499
My suspicion is that that particular question is around like, you know, your, your motor skills and just the misfiring us of things.

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.678
But again, it's it's about being curious.

00:12:22.678 --> 00:12:22.918
Okay.

00:12:22.918 --> 00:12:23.969
Why is this happening?

00:12:23.969 --> 00:12:25.739
Have other people had this issue?

00:12:26.249 --> 00:12:30.239
How, how do you get to the answers to the questions that you need?

00:12:30.239 --> 00:12:36.778
Because stroke is very individualized again, in the early days when you're working with therapists.

00:12:36.808 --> 00:12:40.528
And whether they're occupational or physical therapists that can give you a lot of good.

00:12:40.948 --> 00:12:41.849
Practical.

00:12:42.208 --> 00:12:44.068
General advice that they've seen.

00:12:44.938 --> 00:12:51.119
Tools and tips to help you get better, you know, but there does become a point in your recovery where.

00:12:51.989 --> 00:13:02.129
The finer motor skills and the finer, the recovery, the more you put in, the more you're getting out, you do sort of, I hate to use the word pie toe, but you will hit plateaus because.

00:13:02.629 --> 00:13:07.729
Plateau means you're doing the work and you're you you've gotten to a good point in a good place.

00:13:08.418 --> 00:13:09.859
But you need some refinement.

00:13:10.578 --> 00:13:17.119
And so I, again, I think that's where curiosity kicks in and that really helps propel you to that next level for yourself.

00:13:18.948 --> 00:13:21.528
Because yes, other people may have had experiences.

00:13:21.558 --> 00:13:23.509
You can learn a lot from that, but you got to be curious.

00:13:23.509 --> 00:13:32.208
You got to want to dig and to go ask people, you gotta be kind of unapologetic asking people when you see that they've had similar experiences.

00:13:32.928 --> 00:13:37.369
You know, Curiosity really creates that personal recovery path.

00:13:38.028 --> 00:13:43.369
And it really, you know, it's the more specific things get, the more curious you have to be.

00:13:44.058 --> 00:13:46.938
Because it gets harder and you know, a lot of therapists are great.

00:13:47.298 --> 00:13:48.168
Everybody's great.

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:50.448
Generally that wants to help stroke survivors.

00:13:51.229 --> 00:13:57.379
But they just, aren't going to have the specific answer for you and I'm not sure anybody does that's again.

00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:00.139
That's why curiosity is really the big connector.

00:14:01.249 --> 00:14:07.219
When it all comes together and stroke recovery, especially as you go on later in the recovery journey.

00:14:07.938 --> 00:14:08.479
And so.

00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:14.269
Um, I know this has been a really quick, I've been really energetic for the most part.

00:14:14.298 --> 00:14:15.229
I apologize.

00:14:15.229 --> 00:14:17.028
I just, you know, crazy day.

00:14:17.749 --> 00:14:19.038
I'm really into this topic.

00:14:19.038 --> 00:14:21.859
I think it's again like psychedelics last week.

00:14:21.859 --> 00:14:24.558
It's a very nuanced topic.

00:14:24.739 --> 00:14:26.989
I don't think there's any right or wrong answer.

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:27.918
I do think.

00:14:29.058 --> 00:14:36.318
I do think I could say with that a pretty good level of certainty that curiosity won't serve you wrong.

00:14:36.528 --> 00:14:39.948
When it comes to your shirt, covery, it'll only enhance your stroke cover.

00:14:39.979 --> 00:14:44.058
I think the curate, the more curious you are, the more questions you ask.

00:14:44.749 --> 00:14:50.749
The more, you're willing to put yourself out there and ask other people questions who seem to have similar experience.

00:14:51.948 --> 00:14:54.318
You know, curiosity again, it drives.

00:14:55.428 --> 00:14:55.818
Sorta.

00:14:56.178 --> 00:15:01.278
It should hopefully drive you to be curious, to figure out how to connect all the dots again.

00:15:01.278 --> 00:15:04.818
And because nobody's lived your exact life, nobody's had your exact stroke.

00:15:05.568 --> 00:15:09.229
This is where we, it definitely gets more nuanced.

00:15:09.229 --> 00:15:12.139
And I think, you know, It's not a quick fix.

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:12.499
It's.

00:15:13.489 --> 00:15:14.629
It's an attitude.

00:15:14.629 --> 00:15:16.099
It's, it's a, it's a.

00:15:16.668 --> 00:15:21.708
Sort of, um, habits, the wrong word, but yeah, I mean, it's just, it's for me.

00:15:22.788 --> 00:15:24.078
Curiosity is the driver.

00:15:24.078 --> 00:15:25.458
It's the thing that fuels me.

00:15:25.489 --> 00:15:30.318
It fuels me to become more resilient, to learn more, to grow more, to push more to.

00:15:30.528 --> 00:15:31.578
You keep learning.

00:15:31.578 --> 00:15:33.589
It's not an easy thing to get through.

00:15:34.219 --> 00:15:35.538
As we've said that an awesome.

00:15:36.408 --> 00:15:37.639
You know, there's challenges.

00:15:38.658 --> 00:15:39.589
There's a lot to it.

00:15:39.619 --> 00:15:43.219
I think curiosity will go serve you well in your show covery.

00:15:43.219 --> 00:15:44.178
So I'd be curious.

00:15:44.599 --> 00:15:44.928
Jeff.

00:15:45.428 --> 00:15:48.339
No pun intended to curious, to hear your thoughts, curious to hear.

00:15:49.028 --> 00:15:53.379
What you feel like if curiosity is helpful, do you think everybody has it?

00:15:53.379 --> 00:15:55.119
I'm not sure everybody has it.

00:15:55.119 --> 00:15:57.188
It's something that you can certainly build in you.

00:15:57.249 --> 00:15:59.649
It's never too late to get curious about anything.

00:15:59.948 --> 00:16:00.698
Ask questions.

00:16:01.418 --> 00:16:02.198
ASCA.

00:16:02.589 --> 00:16:03.879
See what other people doing?

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.349
What can you learn from other people?

00:16:06.249 --> 00:16:07.149
Again, curiosity.

00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:09.399
I think some of us are born with it, more innately.

00:16:09.428 --> 00:16:09.999
Some of it.

00:16:10.688 --> 00:16:16.719
Is developed over time and either way there's no wrong way, because the more curious you get starting today, the better you'll become.

00:16:16.749 --> 00:16:17.198
I think.

00:16:17.798 --> 00:16:20.769
Um, So, yeah, let's see.

00:16:20.828 --> 00:16:24.208
To wrap up this quick episode, which has already gone longer than I hoped yeah.

00:16:24.208 --> 00:16:24.599
This week.

00:16:25.229 --> 00:16:27.328
I'm trying to try to think about one thing.

00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:29.188
What's one thing you've been avoiding.

00:16:29.188 --> 00:16:30.958
What's one thing you have yet to ask.

00:16:30.958 --> 00:16:40.078
What's one thing you are really curious about, curious about, but have been too afraid to ask whether you asked me on Tik TOK asked me on Instagram, asking me any social media platform.

00:16:40.349 --> 00:16:41.519
You can email the show.

00:16:42.269 --> 00:16:42.869
Let me know.

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:43.979
We'll it's robber science.

00:16:44.009 --> 00:16:44.399
Dot com.

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.129
I'm definitely curious to hear your questions.

00:16:47.849 --> 00:16:48.538
I want to help.

00:16:48.568 --> 00:16:50.458
That's why, why I do this podcast.

00:16:50.458 --> 00:16:51.779
I hope you are.

00:16:52.708 --> 00:16:57.089
Giving it some thought, see where you could be more curious in your recovery journey and yeah.

00:16:57.119 --> 00:17:00.000
I hope you are having a great week off to a great Monday.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.289
And I will back with a episode on hopefully Wednesday or Thursday this week.

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.200
And we'll be back on Friday to wrap up with a, another episode of the server side in sound bite series.

00:17:10.618 --> 00:17:10.980
All right.

00:17:11.009 --> 00:17:13.710
Have a great Monday and take care and see you later in the week.

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.759
Bye.
