Description

Brilliant people-CEOs, entrepreneurs, artists - a r e often known for one big thing. But behind the headlines, they're just as curious as the rest of us. What internet rabbit holes, childhood fascinations, or weird obsessions keep them up at night? In each episode, a high-profile guest gets to nerd out with a real expert in a field they're fascinated by - but know nothing about. They ask al their "dumb" questions, and listeners get to learn alongside them. It's unscripted, surprising, and refreshingly human.
