Why Most Leaders Lose Their Curiosity (And How to Get It Back)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the biggest thing holding you back… is the phrase “I could never”?

From entrepreneurship and education to Ironmans and ministry, this conversation dives deep into:
Why leaders lose curiosity over time
How fear quietly limits your growth
The difference between boldness and recklessness
Why identity in Christ unlocks real risk-taking
