Listening for the Questions Podcast - Big ideas. Bold questions. Smart AF conversations.
We don’t have the answers. But we’re darn good at listening for the right questions.
Let’s be real: Does the world really need ANOTHER podcast?
Well, we're making one anyway, because most conversations skip the questions that really matter.
Most podcasts give you answers. We give you better questions. Questions that make you rethink the future of AI, burnout, culture, and connection. And yeah - some fun detours into sandwiches and magicians. Because life is too short to only ask "strategic" questions.
This podcast is for curious leaders, thoughtful creators, and people who are done with surface-level conversations. If you are craving honest dialogue, fresh thinking, and a regular reminder to listen before you act - you're in the right place.
Listening for the Questions Podcast - Big ideas. Bold questions. Smart AF conversations.
Why do kids ask the best questions - and why did so many of us stop?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the wisest questions aren’t asked in boardrooms or think-tanks — but in kindergarten classrooms, minivans, and sticky-fingered breakfast tables?
In this episode, Dr. Patti Fletcher, Dan Ward, and Lynne Cuppernull dive into one of the most delightfully disruptive prompts we’ve ever explored:
Why do kids ask the best questions — and why did so many of us stop?
From “Why is the sky blue?” to “Why don’t grown-ups play more?” children constantly challenge assumptions, dismantle logic, and push adults into the kind of curiosity we forgot we needed.
Together we explore:
- What kids know instinctively about curiosity and wonder
- When adults begin filtering and performing instead of asking
- Why little-kid questions make us squirm (and what that says about us)
- What changes when we listen instead of rush to answer
- Whether curiosity might be a form of presence — and maybe, leadership
- How reclaiming childlike wonder could transform the way we work, parent, and connect
This episode is a sandbox of ideas — playful, profound, occasionally messy, and full of those “Wait… that’s a really good question” moments.
Bring your beginner’s mind. Leave your certainty at the door.
The world gets bigger and more beautiful every time we dare to ask like a kid again.
