edit data

Ross Scafidas is a former globe-trotting corporate renegade turned relentless question-asker. After years in the business world, he now spends his time chasing the strange truths hiding in plain sight—about people, power, science, history, and why we do what we do.

He’s the author of Random Curiosities, a book that explores everything from capitalism and desire to black holes and designer shoes—with wit, irreverence, and genuine wonder.

Ross lives in Perth, Australia, with his family and remains curious about almost everything—except small talk.
