Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

“I apologize for such a long letter - I didn't have time to write a short one.” ― Mark Twain “I apologize for such a long podcast - I didn’t have time to record a short one.” ― Rob Morgan www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/catechismofconciseness

John Morley once said, “The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without, and to depart.” Today on the podcast, I ambush Sarah in the bathroom as she's getting ready, and we discuss what happens when we find ourselves in a period of "to do without." Specifically, when one doesn't naturally feel curious about life.  www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/thegreatbusinessoflife

I’m just getting over a month of some of the worst back pain of my life. It almost put me in the ER and I almost had to cancel a tour because of it. Naturally… I looked for advice. Unfortunately… most of it sucked. And that fact taught me a ton about the way the creative process works. www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/mostadvicesucks

My friend was given a crappy cocktail, and it could have been solved with more questions. I'm annoyed, and I don't have time to dry off. www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/fromtheshower

“What are my 5 to 10-year goals?” Those kind of questions have never resonated with me. But, “Who am I?” and “What do I want?”… those… those seem like they serve me a bit better at the top of the year. www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/whatdoyouwant

How badass would it be if we allowed 2024 to give us permission to say, “This is who I am, this is what I like, and that’s ok.” www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/2024permission

Nostalgia is my drug of choice, and New Year's Resolutions often fuel my anxiety about the future. It’s all too much. It’s all too big. Maybe simply giving grace for the now is all I can resolve for.  www.thecuriouspod.com/questions/nownewyears
