What if lifelong learning wasn’t just about school, but about building a life full of curiosity, creativity, and meaning?

In this inspiring episode, Curtis reconnects with his high school best friend, Matt Rauscher, for a deep, wide-ranging conversation about what it means to stay curious, explore new skills, and live a hands-on life.

Matt shares his unconventional journey from the school halls of Edmonton to becoming a multi-skilled creative adventurer, learning welding, 3D printing, dual-sport motorcycling, music production, meat curing, beekeeping, raising livestock, and much more.

You’ll hear how Matt stayed connected to his creative spark, why he believes curiosity is a superpower, and how lifelong learning can give you the confidence to try anything, even when it’s unfamiliar or scary.

✅ How to reignite your creativity when you feel stuck
✅ Why building skills with your hands is a form of self-expression
✅ How curiosity fuels confidence and communication
✅ The connection between making, learning, and speaking English fluently
