An 'Unstructured' conversation on how to keep an open mind with Eric Hunley

An 'Unstructured' conversation on how to keep an open mind with Eric Hunley

Author: travelwisdompodcast@gmail.com (Ladan Jiracek) June 20, 2018 Duration: 35:28

Eric Hunley is the host of the Unstructured podcast and Facebook page which is a bit of a spinoff of the Mixed Mental Arts Facebook page and podcast. Both of the podcasts take deep dives into ways of thinking and problems that we may have with seeing other people's point of view.

People think and act the way they do because of their culture our job is to understand their point of view

In this episode, we talk about the best way to evaluate arguments, how to listen to people and understand people by understanding their culture, and even a bit of politics. 


The Travel Wisdom Podcast explores the profound, lasting value hidden within our journeys. This isn't just about destinations; it's about how the languages we stumble through, the cultures we briefly inhabit, and the people we meet far from home fundamentally shape who we are and how we see the world. Host Ladan Jiracek draws from personal experience across more than eighty countries, examining how travel plants seeds of practical and personal wisdom that can grow into unexpected opportunities, deeper understanding, and even professional success. Each episode delves into the tangible lessons learned from foreign concepts, business practices, and social customs, arguing that the world is the most dynamic classroom available. Listeners will hear specific stories and reflections on turning global exposure into a tool for personal growth, improved communication, and a more nuanced approach to life and money. The podcast moves beyond the simple romance of wandering to consider how these experiences compile into a unique form of education, one that challenges assumptions and builds a resilient, adaptable mindset for navigating an interconnected world.
