What Curiosity Can Teach Us About the People We Overlook with Andrew James Gregor

What if one conversation could change the way you see an entire group of people? Many of us move through life making assumptions without realizing it. We fill in gaps with our own experiences, form opinions from a distance, and often miss the humanity behind someone's story. In this episode of Thinking That Matters, Elizabeth welcomes author Andrew for a conversation about curiosity, compassion, and the thinking patterns that shape how we view others. Andrew shares his remarkable journey from growing up in Lebanon, attending boarding school in England, building an architectural career in Germany, leading a construction company in California, and eventually becoming an award-winning author. The conversation centers around his novel Roscoe, inspired by countless conversations with people experiencing homelessness. Rather than debating policies or statistics, Andrew invites us to examine something deeper: our assumptions. Elizabeth and Andrew explore: Why curiosity is one of the most powerful leadership skills we can develop How assumptions quietly shape the way we treat people The hidden stories behind homelessness What empathy looks like in everyday interactions Why changing our thinking often starts by listening first Whether you're a business owner, executive, leader, or simply someone seeking to cultivate thinking that matters, this episode is a reminder that transformation often begins with a single question: "What's the story I haven't heard yet?" Because when curiosity grows, compassion often follows. Loved this episode? Follow, rate, and review the podcast.
