Why Your Inner Critic Killed Curiosity (How to Repair It) | Rediscover Episode Two

“You Don’t Grow Out of Curiosity—You’re Educated Out of It.” In the second episode of this Rediscover mini-series, Benji and Dave take a deep dive into how school, shame, and the inner critic shape our relationship to curiosity, risk-taking, and divergent thinking. You’ll hear stories about childhood embarrassment, fake Social Security numbers, monsters under the bed, and the atrophied muscles of adult imagination. We explore: • Why your inner critic might sound like a fourth-grade teacher • How school can accidentally kill innovation • Why most adults stop asking questions • The truth behind Sir Ken Robinson’s research on 5-year-old geniuses • How to train the muscle of divergent thinking • Why mocking the voice of shame might be the secret to boldness ⸻ About the Hosts: Benji Block helps people rediscover their core values and build lives of clarity and meaning.
