    Podcast 1285: Question to Learn: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Career, Team, and Organization

    In this episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisin sits down with author and curiosity strategist Joe Lalley to explore why curiosity fades as we grow older—and how that quiet loss is costing individuals, teams, and organizations far more than they realize. Through stories from global companies, design thinking workshops, marathon running, and real-world leadership moments, this conversation challenges our obsession with speed, certainty, and solutions. Instead, it reveals how staying curious—just a little longer—can unlock better decisions, stronger cultures, and more meaningful innovation, even in an AI-driven world. If you’ve ever felt pressured to move fast without fully understanding the problem, this episode will change how you think about growth, leadership, and learning. What listeners will learn -Why curiosity naturally fades in workplaces—and how to bring it back -The difference between genuine curiosity and judgment disguised as questions -How seniority and hierarchy quietly suppress innovation -Why rushing to solutions often leads to wasted effort and poor outcomes -How “question-first” thinking leads to clearer, smarter decisions -The role of empathy and design thinking in solving real problems -When AI supports human insight—and when it replaces caring altogether -How curiosity strengthens relationships, not just performance -Why lifelong learning depends more on questions than answers Our Guest, Joe Lalley: ➥ Book: Question to Learn: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Career, Team, and Organization ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/afwrKx4 ➥https://www.joelalley.com/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelalley ➡️Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JoeLalley-QuestiontoLearn Learn more about your Inside Personal Growth host, Greg Voisen: ➥ https://gregvoisen.com ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidepersonalgrowth/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsidePersonalGrowth/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregvoisen/ ➡️Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/lvoisen/

    Podcast 1282: The New Human: Activating the Inner Architecture for Conscious Evolution by Richard Barrett

    In this deeply reflective episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen welcomes back Richard Barrett - founder of the Barrett Academy and author of The New Human - for a powerful conversation on consciousness, values, and what it truly means to come home to ourselves. Richard explores the idea that personal growth is not about becoming something new, but about remembering who we were before conditioning, fear, and performance-based identity took over. Drawing from decades of work in values-based leadership and human consciousness, he introduces a new language of transformation rooted in energy, frequency, emotional integration, and self-recognition. Together, Greg and Richard discuss the seven stages of psychological development, why growth is a spiral rather than a ladder, and how emotions are not obstacles to awakening but the doorway to it. The conversation also dives into nervous system safety, ego–soul dynamics, shadow integration, and how individual inner work contributes to the evolution of collective human consciousness. This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and reconnect with the essence of who you truly are - beyond roles, beliefs, and expectations. 🎧 What Listeners Will Learn Why personal growth is really about uncovering, not improving The difference between self-help and self-recognition How emotions act as a gateway to spiritual awakening Why growth happens in spirals, not linear stages How childhood conditioning shapes adult beliefs and behavior The role of safety, presence, and the nervous system in transformation What it means to live from alignment, frequency, and authenticity How inner work contributes to the evolution of human consciousness Our Guest, Richard Barrett: ➥ Book: The New Human: Activating the Inner Architecture for Conscious Evolution ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/7SkHfgP ➥https://www.barrettacademy.com/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/barrettacademy/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrettvalues/ Learn more about your Inside Personal Growth host, Greg Voisen: ➥ https://gregvoisen.com ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidepersonalgrowth/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsidePersonalGrowth/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregvoisen/ ➡️Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/lvoisen/

    Podcast 1281: Unconditional Remembrance: Your Connection to Source by Laurie Seymour

    In this deeply reflective episode of Inside Personal Growth, host Greg Voisen sits down with spiritual teacher, author, and founder of the BACA Institute, Laurie Seymour, to explore the profound themes behind her book Unconditional Remembrance: Your Connection to Source. Laurie invites listeners into a heart-centered conversation about forgetting and remembering who we truly are beyond ego, conditioning, and self-doubt. Drawing from decades of experience as a therapist, teacher, and spiritual innovator, she explains why healing is not about fixing what’s broken—but about remembering our inherent wholeness and connection to Source. This episode explores unconditional love as a lived, embodied experience, the illusion of separation, the role of doubt and contraction, and how surrendering personal will allows access to deeper creativity, guidance, and purpose. It’s a powerful dialogue for anyone feeling disconnected, burned out, or seeking meaning beyond striving. Listeners are guided toward subtle but transformative inner shifts—moving from head to heart, from control to co-creation, and from self-forgetting to remembrance. 🌱 What Listeners Will Learn What “unconditional remembrance” truly means—and why it’s not a concept but an embodied experience Why self-doubt and suffering are signs of forgetting, not failure How ego, personal will, and constant “healing” can block inner truth The difference between contraction as fear vs. contraction as creative gestation How to access inner guidance without belief systems or spiritual dogma Why emptiness and the void are essential stages of growth and creation How remembrance leads to clearer decisions, deeper connection, and authentic action Our Guest, Laurie Seymour: ➥ Book: Unconditional Remembrance: Your Connection to Source ➥ Buy Now: https://a.co/d/cf57kC5 ➥https://thebacainstitute.com/ ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurie.seymour ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laurie.seymour.5/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurieseymour Learn more about your Inside Personal Growth host, Greg Voisen: ➥ https://gregvoisen.com ➡️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insidepersonalgrowth/ ➡️Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsidePersonalGrowth/ ➡️LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregvoisen/ ➡️Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/lvoisen/
