Across the country, people are finding unexpected ways to bridge divides, strengthen their communities, and solve problems together.
In this episode, Dr. Paul Zeitz sits down with curiosity expert, author, and creator of the Curiosity Mobile Scott Shigeoka to explore what Scott discovered traveling across the country in search of people making meaningful change in their communities.
Scott shares stories of neighbors rebuilding after Hurricane Helene, young lawmakers working across party lines, and Republicans, Democrats, and independents navigating whitewater rapids—and political differences—together. He also introduces his DIVE framework for practicing deeper curiosity and explains why approaching people with a genuine desire to understand can open possibilities that judgment cannot.
Together, Paul and Scott explore the connection between curiosity, imagination, and democratic renewal and why changing the stories we tell about America may be essential to believing that transformation is possible.

What is Revolutionary Optimism Podcast?
To respond to the challenging times we are living through, physician, humanitarian and social justice advocate Dr. Paul Zeitz has identified “Revolutionary Optimism” as a new cure for hopelessness, despair, and cynicism. Revolutionary Optimism is itself an infectious, contagious, self-created way of living and connecting with others on the path of love. Once you commit yourself as a Revolutionary Optimist, you can bravely unleash your personal power, #unify with others, and accelerate action for our collective repair, justice, and peace, always keeping love at the center.
