Last Sunday evening I hosted a #TwitterSpace with @sarahanoke
It was a simple topic that we tried to explore, Curiosity and Where It Has Led You.
We wanted to here people’s story of curiosity and most importantly where it has led them.

It will suffice to say, we were right to pick that topic.
It led us some deep rabbit hole that have never been explored before that day.
In fact, as often as Asemota tend to write and share his story, he share a never before shared story that they in the Space.

I think the haha moment for me was when I asked the alternate universe question from a lot people.
Imagine an alternate universe where you were not curious, what would your life look like?
I encourage you to also yourself this question as well.

The responses we got from asking this question were both humbling and satisfying.
One conclusion, curiosity is an advantage. A big advantage if I must say.
My cohost said “in such a universe, she would probably be working in a restaurant supporting Trump...

because that’s what they do in her environment”
Her curiosity made the difference.
@Samuel0X_ shared with us an amazing story but as amazing as it was, in such an alternate universe, he would probably be in 200L at a University in Nigeria and probably on strike now.

For me, such an alternate universe would be worse for me. I won’t be the David Alade that you all know, no doubt in that.
More so, I know for sure that I will be waisting away in a corner right now blaming government that there’s no job.
Curiosity for us made the difference.

There’s a lot to unpack on the topic and we have a lot more people willing to share their stories. I’m so grateful to them all.
In light of that, together with @sarahanoke we will be hosting another session same time on Sunday. 2pm WAT.

Let me tell you something that’s a bonus that happened, people new friends.
And when I say that, I don’t say it flimsily. While that was an unintended consequence of the event, in retrospect, it was inevitable.
Join us this coming Sunday.

Having seen what curiosity did for a lot of us, we contemplated on the question “what can we do to spark curiosity in others?”
Our conclusion was simple, curiosity can’t be taught but with enough exposure, curiosity may be inevitable.
So you should optimize for exposure.
