Discovery Requires Our Curiosity...and Our Openness

Do we have an interesting episode for you today? Well, we certainly think so! Ironically enough, we didn't intend to discover anything particularly new when we recorded this episode. Instead, we simply planned to share what we learned about the concept of discover through the workshop we've offered entitled "Discover: Exploring Needs as They Emerge In College Contexts." While we did share a bit from that experience, we got an invitation to really explore what it takes to be open to discovery when...a young man knocked on the door of the room we were recording in and asked, curiously enough, where he might be able to learn more about recording a podcast! You'll hear Cheri start to get distracted as she's finishing a sentence and then you'll be treated to Paul and Cheri debriefing the experience and using it as a tool to think through the things we agree one needs to accept if they're going to move into discovery mode! For quick reference, we provide them below here, but listen in to hear us talk through them - and for our most curious recording experience to date!

To become a discoverer, you must first meet and accept the following things:

• You do not know all there is to know.
• You do not currently see all that there is to see.
• Other beings know and understand things you do not.
• Other beings have occupied spaces and experiences that you have not.
• You are limited in your capacity to know, experience, and understand.
• Your current way of seeing may inhibit your ability to see as others do.

Depending upon your background, experiences, and abilities, some of these premises might be more or less difficult to accept.
