Magic Like This – A C.S. Lewis Book Club Podcast Christina Wallace Magic Like This is a C.S. Lewis Book Club Podcast hosted by Christina Wallace. As we read the work of Lewis together, you're invited to engage your mushy creative side and your logical academic side (the two parts that probably feel like they're at odds with each other) to get curious about life, faith, God, and literature. Grab a cup of your favourite somethin' somethin' and join us for all the literary jollies. The Curious Learners Serhat Aydogdu I feel privileged to speak to so many great minds as part of my job. They are passionate builders, insightful investors, laser-focused leaders. They are all curious learners in their own way. It is their urge to learn more. That urge is curiosity. When I speak to these people, I hear fascinating ideas, solid business plans, genius growth hacking practices, relentless team building focus, unique investing strategies and many others. However, most of the time, key insights, business intelligence and inspiring stories shared in these conversations do not make their way to the outside world. The Curious Learners is an attempt to share the stories of those curious learners with those, who might find the inspiration that they were looking for or those who might get the encouragement for their own journey that they already started. Looking forward to a long journey together. The Animal Guide for Curious Humans Maureen Armstrong Concerned about the impact we humans are having on them?
