I am grateful to Evan and Haiko for their kind invitation to be a guest on their podcast Curiousaholic. Evan and Haiko describe their podcast as a place “where we question the past and imagine the future. Where we learn from people's stories, history's lessons and unveil some of the dangers that lie ahead in the future. Through various personal experiences and expert advice, our goal is to make the future better.”
Since they started their podcast in March 2021 they have explored topics ranging from the neuroscience of smart phones with Dr. Mark Williams, surviving a bear maul with Jeremy Evans, the lived experience of a Vietnam Veteran with Robin Bartlett and so much more.
