Welcome to the rabbit hole
“The most interesting people are the most interested”
- Someone, somewhere surely once
Welcome to The Curiosity Code, where curiosity gets weaponized.
What started as a way to stay in touch with my students is quickly spiraling out of control as a newsletter that has the hot takes too spicy for my haunts at Forbes, Fast Company or Psych Today.
There are only two prerequisites for this course: intellectual curiosity and a willingness to engage life without blinkers.
Let’s get curious.

What you’re getting
Each issue breaks open a new idea I’ve either been unable to shake off or otherwise deem dangerous enough to curse you with the knowledge of. Also a shameless dumpster for all the things I can’t post elsewhere.
You’ll get:
Essays that blend my writing at Forbes, Psychology Today and other outlets
Sneak peeks and cutting-floor items from my chats with, now 550+ CEOs and thought leaders
Ideas you’ll quote and pretend you knew well before
Updates on my research, including our longitudinal range study, and opportunities to get involved
Who’s behind it?
I'm T. Alexander Puutio, a Finn whose been let roam way too far from the Arctic Circle, currently teaching leadership to undergrads, grads and executives at Harvard, Columbia and NYU Stern. A triple-PhD in the (slow) making, an ex-BCG troublemaker, a former advisor to the top of the food chain at the UN and Forbes columnist among many other things.
What readers are saying:
“It’s like if Scott Galloway and Malcolm Gladwell had a Substack baby raised on Dan Ariely before the Data Colada incident.”
– If my mom read Substacks
“I feel smarter and more dangerous after every post.”
– A recent subscriber who most definitely isn’t a student that was fishing for an A
Join the thinkers, misfits, and next-gen leaders

New essays drop as often as I have great ideas. Curiosity required.
