Curiosity isn’t optional. It’s a leadership superpower — and most leaders don’t use it nearly enough.

In this episode, Josh Anderson and Bob Galen unpack what real curiosity looks like in leadership. They explore how fake curiosity shows up (leading questions, hidden agendas, performative listening), and how authentic curiosity creates space for collaboration, innovation, and trust.

You’ll learn practical ways to assess your own curiosity, how to reawaken it in your team, and why the ability to say “I don’t know” might be your most powerful leadership tool. It’s not about having the answers — it’s about creating space to find them, together.

In this future-facing episode, Josh Anderson and Bob Galen make the case that great product leadership is more important than ever—especially in a world of AI-driven development, vibe coding, and accelerating speed. They argue that no matter how fast you can build, if you’re not building the right things for the right reasons, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

Josh shares lessons from his own real-time experience building a product with AI, discovering that clear context, product thinking, and human leadership remain the key unlocks for success. Together, they explore how to maximize the value of every line of code, why clarity is the real differentiator, and how product leadership is everyone's job—not just people with the title.
