From Submarines To Self-Discovery: Mastering Life With Curated Questions

Send us Fan Mail

Today, I reconnect with Kenneth Woodward, a U.S. Navy veteran and submarine radioman, to unpack how his journey under the sea led to a life driven by powerful questions and meaningful conversations. We kick things off reminiscing about the military, from shipyard shenanigans and midwatch love stories to the real cost of cleaning the bilge. Mr. Woodward shares hilarious and humbling stories from his time aboard the USS Alexandria and gives a behind-the-scenes look at what life on a submarine truly entails.

We then pivot to life after the Navy, where Mr. Woodward explains how he transitioned his technical skills into the civilian workforce, ultimately building a career in training, federal work, and now entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing your “meta-skills” and how to translate military experience into real-world opportunities. Whether you're still in uniform or navigating civilian life, his wisdom on career pivoting and reframing your experiences is invaluable.

Finally, we dive into his passion project: Curated Questions, a platform dedicated to life-changing inquiries. Mr. Woodward reveals how one powerful question—“What is the change you seek to make?”—transformed not only his own direction but also impacted others in profound ways. We talk about how asking the right questions can reshape interviews, heal trauma, and spark personal growth.

Additionally, I share my Navy experiences in regard to cleaning, as well as the singly question that formed my podcast.
