What we believe shapes how we approach our work—and the work we do often challenges us to test, refine, and reinforce our beliefs.

This intersection of beliefs and work is what we dive into on Work & Worldview—a podcast for the Infinitely Curious.

On this podcast we welcome guests from different backgrounds to discuss how their work and their beliefs intersect. We swap stories, share insights, and discover more about one another as humans.

Work & Worldview is a long-form, human-to-human, interview-style podcast. You can expect to hear from guests from a diverse set of backgrounds, industries, and experiences.

It's a rich conversation and whatever your worldview, I hope you'll feel welcome and will join us.
