    Why We Feel Curious — But Never Follow Through | Omer & Cosimo | SC99

    Are we living through a curiosity crisis — or a curiosity renaissance? In this episode, we explore how curiosity has changed in the age of infinite information, dopamine-driven platforms, and constant stimulation. Cosimo Radler and Omer Gabbay break down why people feel curious but rarely follow through, how novelty is weaponized online, and why boredom — once essential for discovery — has quietly disappeared. We talk about curiosity as a muscle, why education often suppresses “why,” how attention hijacking pulls us toward shallow rabbit holes instead of deep learning, and what happens when curiosity is captured instead of forgotten. The conversation also dives into the origins of MindStash — a tool designed to help people hold onto sparks of curiosity and actually act on them. If you’ve ever felt curious but stuck, overwhelmed by information, or frustrated that you never follow through on what interests you, this episode will change how you see your attention.

    From Pro Football to Fighting for His Life | Mark O'Brien | SC

    At 16 years old, Mark O’Brien was told a routine medical screening might end his football career at Derby County. Months later, a surgeon looked him in the eye and said if he didn’t have open-heart surgery immediately, he would be gone. What followed shouldn’t have been possible. Mark returned to professional football, played for over a decade, captained Newport County, scored one of the most important goals in the club’s history, and defied every medical expectation placed in front of him. Then, at 27, he faced open-heart surgery again — this time ending his career and forcing him to rebuild his identity from scratch. This conversation isn’t just about football. It’s about fear, resilience, mental health, identity loss, panic, depression, purpose, and what happens when life forces you to start again. If you’ve ever had something taken from you — your career, your health, your identity — this episode will stay with you.
