Podcast 1285: Question to Learn: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Career, Team, and Organization

In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisin sits down with author and curiosity strategist Joe Lalley to explore why curiosity fades as we grow older—and how that quiet loss is costing individuals, teams, and organizations far more than they realize. Through stories from global companies, design thinking workshops, marathon running, and real-world leadership moments, this conversation challenges our obsession with speed, certainty, and solutions. Instead, it reveals how staying curious—just a little longer—can unlock better decisions, stronger cultures, and more meaningful innovation, even in an AI-driven world. If you’ve ever felt pressured to move fast without fully understanding the problem, this episode will change how you think about growth, leadership, and learning.
