For David Bryan, founder/host of Curiosity Invited, September has always marked the end of summer fun … time to go Back to School. With the Curiosity Invited Podcast, David, lifelong teacher and co-founder and former head of New Roads School, has found a “classroom” with no bounds – a new way to inspire others to lean into their curiosity and open their eyes, hearts, and minds as they work, drive, or walk.

For Bryan – and happily for the rest of us – this year “Back to School” no longer marks the end of summer fun, but the beginning of a second season. Curiosity Invited invites us to “go to school in a different way.” You can tune in and listen to, among others: Emmy nominated Michael Abels (Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Us, Nope); educator/activist, Bill Ayers; ‘LA’s Jonny Appleseed,’ Brent Green;eco-warrior, Kelly Rigg; learning activist, David Boulton.
Soon to come: Collette DiVittio, disability activist, entrepreneur, CEO, (Collette was born with Down’s Syndrome); renowned filmmaker, Katalin Hanappi; award winning author, Omar Imady (The Gospel of Damascus; When Her Hand Moved, The Celeste Experiment):ordained Buddhist priest, Dan Burrier.
Bryan hopes the “school year” ahead will offer opportunities to speak with his former students: 2020 Inaugural poet, Amanda Gorman; award winning actress, Dakota Johnson (they are well acquainted – according to Dakota, she made “many trips to the principal’s office;”CEO and co-founder of Lyft, Logan Green (who somehow managed to stay out of the principal’s office); hip hop artist, Thebe Kgositsile, aka “Earl Sweatshirt.” …
