  • Building Bridges: Curiosity, Capacity & the Human Pulse

    Building Bridges: Curiosity, Capacity & the Human Pulse
    Sep 28 2026
    #GetCurious #Podcasting #CommunityBuilding #HumanConnection #Entrepreneurship #Curiosity #Leadership❓ Can you build a bridge without ever knowing who will cross it?Alex Sanfilippo is a podcaster and the founder of PodMatch, a platform that automatically matches podcast hosts and guests for interviews. Through PodMatch and his podcast, Podcasting Made Simple, Alex helps independent podcasters grow their influence and revenue so they can better serve their listeners.Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur and podcaster, Alex spent 15 years in the aerospace industry. His entrepreneurial journey began much earlier, when he started his first business selling used golf balls at age 10.Episode SummaryJLPalmer and Alex explore what it really means to build bridges between people.The conversation moves far beyond podcasting.We talk about the people who build bridges for us before we ever build them for someone else, why community has to be both built and earned, why entrepreneurs need to stay connected to the people they serve, and what gets lost when technology replaces human interaction.And underneath all of it is a simple idea:The bridge matters because of the people who cross it.Alex’s experience building PodMatch has taught him that solving a problem is only the beginning. Once you know the people you serve, you have an ongoing responsibility to understand what they need next.That requires curiosity.It requires conversation.And it requires staying close enough to the people you’re serving to actually hear what they’re telling you.Alex talks about being deeply involved in his own community, meeting people rather than relying entirely on scalable tactics, and using those conversations to inform the future of PodMatch.We also explore the tension between technology and human connection.AI can provide information quickly. Automation can remove friction. But Alex points to something that can’t be automated without changing the experience itself: the human-to-human interaction.His word for what’s missing?Pulse.A conversation about podcasting becomes a conversation about community, leadership, entrepreneurship, connection, and what it means to build something that still feels human.🤔 Reflection Questions* Who built a bridge for you before you ever started building bridges for others?* What would change if you spent more time talking directly with the people you serve?* Are you building a community, or simply creating a place for people to gather?* What part of your business have you automated that might actually need more human interaction?* Where are you trying too hard to scale something that would benefit from a personal touch?* Who are the people you are genuinely curious about?* What is A for the people you serve? What is C? What could your B be?* Where has technology made your business more efficient, and where might it be removing the pulse?🔗 Guest Links & ResourcesVisit Alex: Alex Sanfilippo’s official website: alexsanfilippo.com/aboutPodMatch:Connect podcast hosts and guests through PodMatch. https://www.joinpodmatch.com/jlpalmerPodcast: Podcasting Made Simple https://podmatch.com/episodesPodMatch Free Resource: A free resource with nine quick ideas for podcast hosts and guests. https://podmatch.com/freeBook Recommendation:The Business of Friendship by Shasta Nelson https://link.amazon/B08uFZjkGHave Alex as a Guest: Connect with Alex through his PodMatch Guest Profile. https://podmatch.com/guestdetail/alexContinue The ConversationWho has built a bridge for you?Who are you building one for?And what might happen if you stopped worrying about whether you’ll ever get credit for it?Join the conversation and share your biggest takeaway from this episode.Alex Sanfilippo, Thank You For Being Our Guest.🔊 Listen & SupportIf you enjoyed learning about bringing humanity back to business, let us know!Subscribe to Get Curious *Substack https://jlpalmerconsulting.substack.com* Leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-curious/id1896310446Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/033gBPugG42VQ2gLbxiaBd Amazon Music/Audible https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/385573a1-19f5-4c55-9d51-9f28c40f170d/get-curiousYouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o* Apple, Spotify, , YouTube* Join the Get Curious Community https://www.skool.com/getcurious-9367 - Courses coming soon* To be a guest on the Get Curious podcast.

  • What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?

    What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?
    Sep 25 2026
    What Happens When AI Is Better at Exploring Than We Are?Episode OverviewAI is getting better at exploring, creating, acting, and even helping build better AI.But what happens to us when the thing we're curious about becomes better at exploring than we are?In this episode of Get Curious, we look beyond the headlines about AI superintelligence and ask a more human question: what happens to our agency, curiosity, creativity, and humanity as AI becomes increasingly capable?From recursive AI development to Mark Zuckerberg's vision of personal superintelligence and Elon Musk's comments about AI becoming increasingly involved in improving future AI models, the technology is moving quickly.But perhaps the bigger question isn't how capable AI becomes.It's what we choose to remain responsible for.Key TakeawaysAI is moving from answering questions to exploring possibilities and taking action.As answers become increasingly abundant, the ability to ask meaningful questions may become more valuable.AI can generate enormous numbers of creative possibilities, but humans still decide what matters and what is worth pursuing.Increasingly capable AI agents raise important questions about delegation and human agency.AI is increasingly being used to help develop AI, raising questions about how much of future AI development humans will remain directly involved in.The future of AI isn't only a technology question. It's a human question.The Four QuestionsCuriosity:What happens when AI can explore more possibilities than we can?Creativity:If AI can generate almost endless possibilities, what becomes uniquely creative about choosing, shaping, and giving meaning to an idea?Agency:If AI increasingly acts on our behalf, what do we continue choosing and doing for ourselves?Humanity:When intelligence becomes abundant, what remains distinctly human?A Question to ConsiderWhat happens to human curiosity, judgment, creativity and agency when the thing we're curious about becomes better at exploring than we are?Keep ExploringWhat should we delegate to AI?What should we never delegate?What should AI help us explore?And what should we insist on exploring ourselves?I'm curious what you think.Follow the curiosity.

  • When Business Gets Too Automated

    When Business Gets Too Automated
    Sep 21 2026
    What happens when making business more efficient starts getting in the way of being human?Stephan Bajaio is the CEO and Co-Founder of VibeLogic and has spent more than 25 years working in SEO and digital marketing, helping major brands navigate the changing world of online visibility. He also co-founded Conductor, an enterprise organic marketing platform that reached a half-billion-dollar valuation.Episode SummaryWhat happens when technology, automation, AI, and digital efficiency begin to lose sight of the people they’re supposed to serve?In this episode of Get Curious, JLPalmer sits down with Stephan Bajaio to explore the human side of modern business.We talk about the growing distance between people and businesses, including what happens when job seekers have to get through an “AI firewall” just to reach a person. Stephan shares his perspective on people-first leadership, using the expertise already inside your organization, and why solving a customer’s problem matters more than simply trying to sell to them.The conversation also gets practical about websites and visibility. Use the words your customers actually use. Make important information easy to find. Think point, paragraph, page. And remember that your website is something you control, while much of your social presence exists on borrowed land.Ultimately, this conversation isn't just about SEO, AI, or marketing. It’s about how we adapt to a rapidly changing business environment without losing the human part of business.🔗 Guest Links* Visit VibeLogic.com https://www.vibelogic.com/* Connect with Stephan on LinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/stephanbajaio* Follow Stephan on X https://x.com/stephanbajaio* Connect on Pinterest https://ca.pinterest.com/sbajaio* Have Stephan as a guest on your podcast visit his PodMatch Guest Profile https://podmatch.com/guestdetail/stephan_bajaio 🔊 Listen & SupportIf this conversation made you think differently about automation, AI, marketing, or human connection:Subscribe to Get Curious *YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o&si=gvv79eeS_Cji_nVj*Substack https://jlpalmerconsulting.substack.comLeave a review Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-curious/id1896310446) | [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/033gBPugG42VQ2gLbxiaBd) | [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Aje3THfcOPtkNcMbeme7hhL-QL0uT6o)* Join the Get Curious Community https://www.skool.com/getcurious-9367 - Courses coming soon* Want to be a guest?

  • What Should We Really Be Optimizing For?

    What Should We Really Be Optimizing For?
    Sep 14 2026
    What should we really be optimizing for?More productivity? More growth? More certainty?Or something else?In this conversation, Andrew Ackerman and JLPalmer GET CURIOUS about what actually helps entrepreneurs make better decisions when there isn’t a clear answer.Andrew has founded startups, invested in more than 70 early-stage companies, directed accelerators, and mentored hundreds of founders through accelerators and in the classroom.He’s lived through the messy reality of building companies, investing in them, teaching entrepreneurship, and helping founders figure out what comes next.Throughout our conversation:You don’t need to know everything. You need to stay curious enough to question what you think you know.We explore:* Why Andrew considers empathy a core entrepreneurial skill* The difference between confidence and certainty* How to hold a well-reasoned opinion without becoming attached to being right* Why entrepreneurs should test assumptions before building* What an “index-card website” can teach you about validating an idea* Why Andrew chose to write The Entrepreneur’s Odyssey as a story rather than another traditional business book* Why stories are easier for humans to remember than lists of advice* The personal-brand lesson Andrew wishes he’d learned earlier* What his experience with AI taught him about the technology’s possibilities and limitations* And the bigger question: what should we actually be optimizing for?It’s not about remembering every lessonAndrew doesn’t necessarily want readers to remember every lesson in his book.He wants them to remember that there was something there worth going back to find.This stands out.Because maybe that’s what good knowledge does.It doesn’t always give us an answer we can immediately recite.Sometimes it gives us a story, an idea, a question or a connection that sits somewhere in the back of our minds.Then three months later, something happens and we think:Wait. I remember something about this.And we go looking.That’s a different way of thinking about learning.And maybe it’s a pretty good way of thinking about curiosity too.About AndrewAndrew Ackerman is a startup founder, VC, author, professor, and corporate innovation expert.He’s founded startups, invested in 70+ early-stage companies, and mentored hundreds of founders. His latest book, The Entrepreneur’s Odyssey, turns years of startup advice into a story designed to make entrepreneurial lessons memorable.Connect with AndrewWebsite: https://www.andrewbackerman.com/Get your copy of The Entrepreneur’s Odyssey https://link.amazon/B0ig0zzicLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewbackerman/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/andrewbackerman/X: https://x.com/andrewackermanAndrew Ackerman, Thank You For Being Our Guest.🔊 Listen & SupportIf you enjoyed learning about bringing humanity back to business, let us know!* Subscribe to Get Curious so you never miss an episode.* Leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.* Apple, Spotify, YouTube* Join the Get Curious Community - Courses coming soon* To be a guest on the Get Curious podcast visit PodMatch and create a guest profile.

  • Why Curiosity Beats Judgment

    Why Curiosity Beats Judgment
    Aug 30 2026
    #EricRobinson #HumanBehavior #HumanNature #Leadership #Trust #Resilience #BetterQuestionsWhat happens when we replace judgment with curiosity?Eric Robinson spent 12 years in Christian ministry before spending 24 years as an FBI Special Agent. Along the way, he learned that two very different careers had something important in common: people.In this conversation, Eric and JL Palmer explore human behaviour, trust, judgment, curiosity, bias, trauma, resilience and what it means to understand someone without excusing their behaviour.Eric shares how curiosity became a powerful tool in difficult situations, why treating people with dignity can change a conversation, and how experience can sometimes create assumptions we need to challenge.We also explore what happens when difficult experiences accumulate, why reflection matters, and what Eric learned about identity and resilience after leaving a career that had become such a significant part of who he was.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy judgment can close the door on learningHow curiosity helps us understand people without necessarily agreeing with themWhy understanding someone's behaviour does not mean excusing itHow listening and creating safety can build trustWhy treating people with dignity can lead to better outcomesHow experience can create bias and assumptionsWhy reflection is necessary when difficult experiences accumulateHow humour and storytelling can help us process difficult experiencesWhat retirement can teach us about identity and purposeWhy being wrong doesn't necessarily mean you've made a bad decisionHow resilience helps us recenter, rebound and move forwardQuestions to ConsiderWhere am I leading with certainty instead of curiosity?Who have I reduced to a label instead of a person?What assumption deserves another look?Can I understand someone's motivation without excusing their behaviour?Where do I need to build trust before expecting honesty?What "mud flecks" am I carrying that I haven't stopped to notice?And perhaps the biggest question:What do I actually think will happen if I make the wrong decision?About Eric RobinsonEric Robinson is a former FBI Special Agent and former pastor whose experiences have given him a unique perspective on human behaviour, trust, leadership, difficult conversations and resilience.Eric is also the author of the upcoming memoir From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI.🔗 Guest LinksConnect with Eric Robinson, Instagram.com, Threads, Linkedin.comVisit PreacherToBreacherInvite Eric to Guest on your podcast PodMatch Guest ProfileEric Robinson, Thank You For Being Our Guest.🔊 Listen & SupportIf you enjoyed learning about how curiosity can change the way we understand people, consider sharing it with someone.Subscribe to Get Curious so you never miss an episode.Leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.Join the Get Curious Community - Courses coming soonTo be a guest on the Get Curious podcast visit PodMatch and create a guest profile.

  • What If Your Next Teammate Isn’t Human?

    What If Your Next Teammate Isn’t Human?
    Aug 30 2026
    We tend to think of artificial intelligence as another tool.A faster search engine. A better spell checker. Something that helps us write emails or summarize meetings.But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question?What if AI isn’t another piece of software to learn?What if it’s a teammate waiting to be built?That shift in thinking sat at the heart of my conversation with Chad Owen. Rather than talking about AI replacing people, Chad explored something much more interesting: how curiosity shapes the way we work alongside technology, how we design systems that amplify our thinking, and why the future belongs to people who ask better questions.Because technology has never been the differentiator.People have.Curiosity Before CapabilityWhen a new technology arrives, it’s easy to become consumed by features.Which model is best?Which app should I use?What’s the perfect prompt?Those questions matter, but they’re not where transformation begins.Transformation begins with curiosity.Curiosity asks:* What problem am I actually trying to solve?* What work drains my energy but still needs to be done?* What kind of thinking, do I alone contribute?Only after answering those questions does AI become genuinely useful.Otherwise, we’re simply automating noise.Build a Team, Not a ToolbeltOne of the most compelling ideas from our conversation was treating AI as a collection of specialists instead of one all-purpose assistant.Think about your workplace.You wouldn’t ask your accountant to design your website. You wouldn’t expect your graphic designer to manage legal contracts.Each person has a role.The same can be true for AI.Instead of one generic chatbot, imagine creating specialized teammates:* a researcher who gathers evidence* an editor who challenges your assumptions* a strategist who spots patterns* a teacher who explains complex ideas simply* a project manager who keeps work movingThe technology becomes less impressive than the system you build around it.The Human AdvantageAs AI becomes more capable, many people ask what skills will remain valuable.The answer may be surprisingly human.Curiosity.Judgment.Empathy.Context.Story.Technology can generate information. People generate meaning.The organizations and individuals who thrive won’t necessarily be the ones using the most AI. They’ll be the ones who know when to trust it, when to question it, and when to rely on distinctly human experience.Systems Create FreedomAnother theme that surfaced throughout our conversation was systems.Not rigid processes.Helpful ones.Systems reduce friction.They free mental space.They allow us to spend less time remembering and more time creating.AI can strengthen those systems, but it can’t replace the intention behind them.A thoughtful workflow will outperform a clever prompt every time.Curiosity Is the Competitive AdvantageIt’s tempting to believe success with AI comes from mastering technology.Perhaps it comes from mastering ourselves instead.The people who continue asking better questions will always discover better possibilities.Curiosity isn’t becoming less valuable in the age of AI.It’s becoming the skill that makes every other skill more valuable.That’s why conversations like this matter.Not because they provide all the answers.Because they help us ask better questions.🔑 Key Takeaways* Curiosity is the foundation of successful AI adoption. Better questions lead to better outcomes.* Think beyond using AI as a tool—design it as a team of specialized collaborators.* Systems create consistency, allowing creativity to flourish where it matters most.* Human strengths like judgment, empathy, context, and storytelling become even more valuable in an AI-enabled world.* The future belongs to those willing to experiment, learn, and continually adapt.💼 Business AdviceBuilding an AI strategy isn’t about finding the perfect prompt or the latest platform. It’s about understanding your business well enough to identify where technology can remove friction, increase capacity, and support better decision-making.Start by documenting repetitive tasks. Then ask where AI can save time without sacrificing quality. Finally, invest the time you’ve reclaimed into the work only humans can do: building relationships, solving complex problems, making thoughtful decisions, and creating meaningful experiences.Technology should amplify your strengths—not replace them.❤ Memorable MomentsOne of the most memorable ideas from this conversation was imagining AI as your next teammate rather than your next software subscription. That simple shift changes everything. Instead of asking, “What can this tool do?” you begin asking, “What role does my business or personal life need filled?”The conversation also reminded us that curiosity isn’t a soft skill. It’s a strategic advantage. Every innovation begins with someone willing to ask a better question than everyone else.Perhaps the most encouraging takeaway is ...

  • Every conversation

    Every conversation
    Aug 3 2026

    Every conversation leaves something behind.

    Sometimes it’s a new perspective. Sometimes it’s a question that lingers. Sometimes it’s a completely different way of seeing the world.

    Over the past few months, Get Curious has become much more than a podcast. It has become a collection of stories, ideas, lessons, and human experiences that continue teaching long after the recording stops.

    This special August episode is an opportunity to pause, celebrate the first twelve conversations, reflect on what we’ve learned together, and share where Get Curious is heading next.

    As we revisit these conversations throughout the month, my hope is that you’ll discover something new each time you return to them.

    Because the best conversations don’t end when the recording stops—they continue to grow through reflection, curiosity, and the conversations we have next.

    I’d love for you to read, listen, and join the discussion.

    Which conversation has stayed with you the longest, and what question are you still curious enough to ask?

  • Second Chances, First Steps

    Second Chances, First Steps
    Aug 3 2026
    What if you haven’t run out of chances?What if the life you’re living right now isn’t the end of your story?Bryan Blackmon knows what it means to believe you’ve gone too far to start over.His story includes addiction, homelessness, sleeping in his car and years of trying to find a way forward.Then came a moment that changed the question.Standing in front of a mirror, Bryan heard four words:You are worth it.It wasn’t a magic fix.It was a beginning.And instead of accepting the life he’d been living, Bryan did “Get Curious” about what might happen if he tried something different.That curiosity became sobriety.Sobriety became rebuilding.Rebuilding became a series of unexpected relationships, small daily choices and eventually a community called Crab Crew Life.And somewhere along the way, Bryan discovered something that would become central to his message:Sometimes getting out of the hole starts with believing you’re worth climbing out of it.The moment everything started to changeBryan’s transformation wasn’t one dramatic overnight event.It was a collection of moments.One of the biggest involved Elaine, an older woman who became his landlord while he was struggling and sleeping in his car. Her willingness to see something in Bryan that he wasn’t yet able to see in himself became part of the foundation for what came next.Then Bryan began sharing pieces of his life publicly.A story that started as something personal unexpectedly became something much larger.People connected with it.The audience grew.And the Crab Crew began to take shape.But the interesting part isn’t the viral success.It’s the question underneath it:Why did people connect so deeply with this story?Because Bryan wasn’t presenting a polished version of transformation.He was showing the rebuilding process.In real time.What does a crab have to do with starting over?Quite a lot, as it turns out.Bryan uses the crab as a metaphor for resilience and adaptability.A crab doesn’t move through life by following one perfectly straight path.It adjusts.It navigates.It keeps moving.For someone rebuilding a life, that matters.Because starting over rarely looks like a straight line.There are setbacks.There are uncomfortable days.There are moments when the old story about yourself comes roaring back.The question isn’t whether those moments happen.The question is what you do next.The CRAB frameworkBryan has built his philosophy around four pillars:C — CleanClear the chaos. Start examining the things you’ve been carrying — the habits, stories and patterns that keep you stuck.R — ResilienceLearn how to keep going when things don’t go according to plan.A — AdaptabilityRecognize that you may need to change your approach without abandoning your destination.B — BeliefBelieve that you’re worth the work.For Bryan, this is the foundation.If you don’t believe you’re worthy of a different life, why would you keep doing the work required to build one?Change isn’t always dramaticBryan’s story is about how much of transformation happens through small things.A morning routine.Coffee.Getting cleaned up.Meditation.Gratitude.Affirmations.Being present.Celebrating small wins.None of these sound particularly revolutionary.That’s the point.A different life is often built through ordinary decisions repeated long enough to become a new way of living.Bryan’s story makes the case for something we don’t talk about enough:Redemption isn’t necessarily one giant moment.Sometimes it’s a routine.What story are you still living?This may be the question underneath the entire conversation.We all carry stories about ourselves.Some came from our families.Some came from things that happened to us.Some came from things we did.Some came from other people’s opinions.And some we’ve simply repeated to ourselves for so long that we’ve stopped questioning them.But what if the story isn’t finished?What if you’re allowed to change it?What if you’re allowed to become someone you couldn’t have imagined five years ago?That’s where curiosity becomes useful.Not curiosity as entertainment.Curiosity as a willingness to ask:What else might be possible?Key Takeaways* Your past can be part of your story without being the final chapter.* Self-worth can become the foundation for meaningful change.* Curiosity can open a door when certainty has convinced you there is nowhere to go.* Resilience isn’t avoiding setbacks. It’s learning how to get back up.* Adaptability means changing how you move forward when the original plan no longer works.* Small daily practices can become the structure that supports a completely different life.* Community can make transformation less isolating.* Sometimes the person holding us back is ourselves.* One act of kindness can create a ripple far beyond the original moment.* You don’t have to have the whole path figured out to take the next step.Questions to ConsiderWhat story have you been carrying about...
