[Podcast] Episode 274: The Galileo Effect with Noah Alsamman

Curiosity is one of the most overlooked disciplines in leadership. In this episode of the AVAIL podcast, we sit down with Noah Alsamman, digital media associate for Four Rivers Media and contributor to the AVAIL Journal, to explore what he calls the Galileo Effect: When Faithful Conviction Collides with Institutional Resistance. Drawing from history, Scripture, and personal experience, Noah explains why leaders often suppress questions out of fear and how cultivating curiosity can open the door to deeper thinking, healthier systems, and renewed spiritual and organizational growth.
