Be Curious

By Joe Templin · July 6, 2026 · 1 min read

“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.” Bill Nye

The Science Guy I know a lot of stuff, but I certainly don’t know everything there is to know and never will.

Even in areas that I am a world-class expert I still pick up new things from others, like using Venmo as a way to generate names for feeder lists (an idea from a 24 year old agent).

Balancing certainty of your expertise with a curiosity and willingness to question your own knowledge and beliefs is a dynamic situation that provides just enough doubt to keep you hungry for knowledge and growth.

Approach every meeting with curiosity and you will be amazed at what you can learn, about them and yourself.
