The people that shape society are the explorers — the brave adventurers willing to take a voyage into the unknown to satisfy their curiosity, fulfill their purpose, and bring their ideas to life.
This is a show for those people.
The people that are relentlessly curious about themselves, their impact, their potential, the people they love, and the world around them.
The people who are CONSTANTLY asking themselves, “What if…”, “I wonder…”, “Why not…”, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for themselves and for society at large.
Join me (Brandon Fong) as every week I interview pioneering adventurers who have dared to go Beyond Curious™.
Past guests have included NYT Bestselling authors, main stage TED speakers, 7-9 figure entrepreneurs...
