Hey!

Here’s your by-weekly 4 minute read to kick-start your week! 


A quote that inspired me:

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” – Albert Einstein

Curiosity isn’t just nice to have it’s your competitive edge. In a world where everyone thinks they have the answers, the curious ones are asking better questions. They’re discovering what others miss. They’re staying sharp while others get comfortable. Curiosity is the difference between surviving and thriving.


A life hack: How to weaponize curiosity

Stop assuming you know everything. The moment you think you’ve figured it out, you’ve already started falling behind. Here’s how to stay dangerously curious:

Ask “What if?” instead of “I know.” Every situation has layers you haven’t explored yet. What if your biggest client is hiding a problem? What if that “obvious” strategy is missing something crucial? Curious people dig deeper when others stop looking.

Become a question collector. Don’t just ask questions, collect the right ones. “What’s working that we’re not talking about?” “What would make this impossible to ignore?” “What are our competitors not seeing?” Great questions unlock breakthrough thinking.

Challenge your own expertise. You’re good at what you do. But curiosity means questioning your own methods. What if there’s a better way? What if your “proven” approach is limiting you? The best performers constantly audit their own playbook.

Study your failures like a scientist. Don’t just move on from setbacks, get obsessed with understanding them. What really went wrong? What patterns are you missing? Curiosity transforms failures into fuel for your next breakthrough.

Stay hungry for feedback. Most people avoid tough conversations. Curious people hunt them down. They want to know what they’re not seeing, what they’re missing, what they could do better. Feedback is data. Data is power.


What’s on my mind:

Last week, I interviewed two sales leaders for an upcoming project. Both of them, independently, said the same thing: “Always be curious.”

It hit me like a punch to the gut, but in the best way.

It reminded me of my karate training. In martial arts, the moment you think you’ve mastered a technique, you’ve already lost. There’s always another layer, another angle, another way to improve. The black belts I respect most? They still show up like white belts. Eager, questioning, ready to learn.

The same applies to high performance in business. The sales leaders crushing it aren’t the ones who think they know everything. They’re the ones still asking questions, still experimenting, still learning from every interaction.

Curiosity keeps you sharp. Assumptions make you soft.

Here’s your challenge this week: Pick one area where you feel “expert” and approach it like a beginner. What questions haven’t you asked? What assumptions haven’t you tested?

The moment you stop being curious is the moment you start becoming irrelevant.

Enjoy your week!
