Great post -- re: exploring new vocabularies, Ted Gioia touched on this in regards to cultivating music taste which I found helpful.

"So what you need to do, if you really want to broaden your horizons as a listener, is to get exposed to new things. Pick somebody. [...] Find somebody who you trust as a guide, and let them open your ears to these new experiences."

So what's the best way to find new guides?
