👂🏽 How to See the Humanity in Anyone 🤝

Ever feel like the world is getting more divided? Scott Shigeoka says curiosity is the key to breaking barriers and finding real connection. 🌍✨
In his deep dive on “deep curiosity,” he challenges us to move beyond stereotypes and assumptions. Whether it’s politics, religion, or personal identity, true understanding comes when we stop seeing people as “them” and start seeing them as individuals. His secret? A four-step framework:
🔹 Detach – Let go of assumptions and biases.
🔹 Intend – Approach conversations with purpose and openness.
🔹 Value – Recognize the dignity in every person (including yourself).
🔹 Embrace – Lean into discomfort and allow curiosity to transform you.
Shigeoka’s yearlong road trip—meeting people from all walks of life—proves that when we seek to understand rather than judge, we unlock real relationships. ❤️
Want to start strengthening your own curiosity muscle? Try this: Next time you meet someone new, instead of focusing on differences, ask them something small but personal—broccoli or carrots? 🥦🥕 You might be surprised where the conversation leads!
