Joe and Erich have a discussion built around relationships, which morphs into how we connect. We talk about removing the buffer between the outside world and ourselves. When we remove the buffer, we allow meaningful moments to happen spontaneously. From there, we talk about the cynicism of our generation that seems to push back on authenticity or showing genuine emotion as a weakness if you don't connect whatever is on the same level. We can channel someone else's passion and allow that to fuel what each of us enjoys in the world. We need as many tastes and views in the world as possible. If we all thought and acted the same way, the world would get stale rather quickly. We spend a portion of our time on bringing Feeding Curiosity to a live format. Going live is in a seedling stage, but it will happen, and the reason it exists here is to keep ourselves honest. Finally, we close with thoughts on why remembering the past is essential. Joe shares stories about what his grandmother experienced and tokens from her life that have now been passed on to him. We brainstormed an idea of how to capture the lives and stories of others to allow future generations to get a sense of what it was like before them.
