Curious Worldview Podcast
A charismatic mix of cerebral thinking with straight talking
The best things I consumed this week…
The Diplomat - Netflix
Best TV show I’ve watched all year! It’s a better West Wing if West Wing didn’t have Martin Sheen. The writing is incredible. Every line from Nickel Trowbridge lands. The characters are brilliant. 10/10.
Lev is the absolute man. At 24 he was leading 30 men in Britain’s most elite army unit. He left the army with nothing but experience at 29, slept a few nights on a park bench while trying to make ends meet. Then had the most exciting decade I could imagine. He wrote books, engaged in serious adventure, created documentaries, made loads of money and became a photography aficionado. He’s coming on the podcast next week, but in the meantime, the link will take you to his website where you can see everything he’s done.
It took me a while to get into Prof G, I was sceptical and thought he was a manosphere guy, but having just listened to this interview, I’m all in Prof G. If you are an employee in a business than the last 30 minutes of this ep is must listen.
Something I’ve produced …
David De Jong first appeared on the podcast a year ago to discuss his book, Nazi Billionaires - but today he’s back for an addendum to the story.
How one of the largest logistics companies, Kuehne + Nagal, has it’s origins deep in Nazi roots, and from the very top deny it until today.

I want to grow this newsletter and I want to grow this podcast. Typically, fellow creators in my position will offer you (my dear reader/listener) some reward whereby, if you refer x amount of people I will send you y reward.
For every 5 people you bring to the newsletter, I’d send you custom merch (or something along these lines)
Now, as you know, I work full time at Quartr which means after a long days work, I am booking, researching, recording, editing and publishing a podcast plus (everything on this newsletter), and therefore only left with a few minutes for everything else that makes up a life.
And as such, setting up some type of rewards program hasn’t eventuated. BUT with that being said, I would nonetheless try to do something to incentivise you to share the show.
For the sake of transparency - about 5000 people follow the podcast across both Spotify & Apple, and several hundred subscribe to this newsletter. Not everyone listens to every episode, but so far in a 4 year lifetime I’m extremely chuffed with every new person - and I notice every. single. new. person…
To get to the point where things are monetised I’d say tripling both of those metrics is necessary.
But for now, all I can offer is camaraderie - if you are reading this now you are, and will remain the most important viewership I will ever get… and this is because you are the early adopters. So all I can do is ask… if you enjoy this and if you know anyone who think might enjoy it as well - share it with them one at a time and share it on your socials to the masses. Follow the podcast wherever you listen to it and subscribe to this newsletter and bare with me, not everything will be directly interesting to you, but I endeavour that some of it definitely will be.
So pump your juice, send this to all your mates - and one day you’ll be able to say you were onto all this ‘Curious Worldview’ stuff from day 1.
