About the Podcast

I'd Like to Know More...
Curiosity isn't optional.
This is a long-form interview podcast hosted by Cameron Diehl, where we explore how the world really works β€” one conversation at a time. My mission isn’t to lecture, debate, or stay in one lane. I’m relentlessly curious about how people think, build, and create β€” across business, science, art, culture, and beyond.

Each episode is guided by a simple personal framework:
πŸ‘‰ Learn something new.
πŸ‘‰ Do something with it.
πŸ‘‰ Teach it to others.
