Past, Present and Future of Feeding Curiosity - Episode 100 Special

Reflections
Written By Erich Wenzel

Today's episode is a special one that I've been honestly planning for quite some time. We've now reached, well, frankly, over a hundred episodes of Feeding Curiosity instead of doing the typical interviewing Q&A. That didn't feel like it captured the spirit of what Feeding Curiosity has been for me and what it has evolved into over the last two years.

And the last a hundred plus episodes. What I thought would be more interesting and more fulfilling would be to pull in the people behind the scenes or the most frequent guests who have been here since day one.  I had with each of the main people who helped shape what Feeding Curiosity is becoming and evolving into. We pull back the curtain and evaluate or reflect on the past, present, and future of Feeding Curiosity.

To all the guests and listeners of the podcast: This wouldn't be what it is without each of you. I'm blown away by the response I receive and the encouragement from those who come on the show.

It's incredibly rewarding to connect with curious people, resonate with what we believe about human nature, and lead a more fulfilling life.  So once again, thank you all for joining me on the journey that is Feeding Curiosity.

In this episode of Feeding Curiosity, host Erich Wenzel reflects on the journey and insights from training for and completing two marathons. He discusses the challenges and sacrifices involved, including balancing marathon training with a full-time job and transitioning to a new career. Erich emphasizes the importance of building new experiences, pushing personal limits, and the mental and physical discipline required for such a demanding goal. He shares practical tips on endurance training, managing expectations, and the broader life lessons from this transformative experience.

I was reflecting on four years of podcasting and creating content for Feeding Curiosity! I wanted to share how I think about this project and how it impacts my life and those I connect with! Thank you to everyone who's been a part of this project for the past four years.

Today, my guest on the podcast is returning friend Jordan Criss. As always, Jordan jumps on the podcast and is off to the races. This episode was recorded on new year's Eve, a couple of hours before 2021. We took this time to reflect on the year. This year was a whole bunch of changes for all of us personally outside of the podcast. We dove around the different things we learned about ourselves and what changed in 2020.

I've spent the last two weeks reflecting on what is most important to me. This short episode was born from contemplating what I am most grateful for in 2020. We could talk endlessly about what could have been better in the last year, but what were the rays of light shown through this year?

In Pursuit of Goggins
In Pursuit of Goggins

For many, David Goggins is seen as inhuman or, as he has said, uncommon amongst the uncommon, sure that is true. But I look at it a little differently. If he can forge himself into something extraordinary, why can't I? Why can't the person next to me? In this video, I discuss what it means to be In Pursuit of Your Greatness.
