Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

Have you ever heard someone use a word or phrase that you didn’t know the meaning of but you were too embarrassed to ask what it meant? Me too. But here’s the thing, living a CURIOUS life means not letting our ego get in the way of the opportunity to learn something new. I was hanging out today with my friends Jeffry Willis and Rob Czech when it happened again… this time I’m grabbing a microphone and leaning into it.     podcast hotline: (612) 584-9330      website | map | itunes | instagram | intro song | YouTube

Last week, I posted on social media that Sarah found round-trip flights to Switzerland for $1 ($280 after taxes and fees) and booked us a surprise trip. Almost immediately, my inbox got flooded with questions about how she finds deals like this... so much so, that I decided to sit down to interview Sarah and dive into her process so YOU can head out on a Curious Endeavor.     podcast hotline: (612) 584-9330      website | map | itunes | instagram | intro song yo| YouTube

John Fields is a record producer and musician best known for his work with artists including the Jonas Brothers, Switchfoot, Pink, Har Mar Superstar, Miley Cyrus, Andrew W.K. and Demi Lovato. Personally, I know him as one of the most requested guests by our mutual music friends and for his badass bass prowess.    How is producing artists like buying a lottery ticket? Why is speed so important when it comes to a pro recording session? And really… Why the hell will John never hire me as a bassist for a session?    Join me as I sit down with John over iced coffee in his recording studio in South Minneapolis to answer these questions and more.   Recording Location: Creation Studios, South Minneapolis.      ------------------------------ Call The Official Podcast Hotline: (612) 584-9330  Visit Recording Locations: www.thecuriouspod.com/map Subscribe on iTunes: www.thecuriouspod.com/itunes Subscribe via RSS: www.thecuriouspod.com/rss Like us on Facebook: www.thecuriouspod.com/facebook Follow us on Instagram: www.thecuriouspod.com/instagram

Jonathan Palmer is the president of one of the midwest’s largest sci-fi/fantasy conventions, CONvergence. I’ve never been to a sci-fi/fantasy convention before and when a friend told me it was taking place while I was in town, I knew I had to check it out!   I reached out to Jonathan to sit down and learn more about the convention, but what ended up taking place was a conversation that taught me about community, solidarity, identity, and how, if it weren’t for racism, a map of Minneapolis' highways would look entirely different.    Join me as I sit down with JP, over Scotch, for a conversation that is… the reason I do this podcast.   Recording Location: CONvergence Convention, (The Hyatt Hotel) Downtown Minneapolis.    ------------------------------   GUEST LINKS:   http://www.convergence-con.org/ http://www.convergenceevents.org/ https://www.facebook.com/CONvergenceConMN https://www.rondodays.net/ http://www.hallieqbrown.org/site/   ------------------------------   Call The Official Podcast Hotline: (612) 584-9330  Visit Recording Locations: www.thecuriouspod.com/map Subscribe on iTunes: www.thecuriouspod.com/itunes Subscribe via RSS: www.thecuriouspod.com/rss Like us on Facebook: www.thecuriouspod.com/facebook Follow us on Instagram: www.thecuriouspod.com/instagram

John Mark Nelson is a songwriter & producer living and working in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Well… For now.    Why’s John moving to LA?

I’ve had this flight to Nashville booked for the past two months. It leaves in five hours… and I’m not sure I’m gonna get on it.   All of a sudden, I realize what’s holding me back isn’t rational decision making just because I don’t know where I’m going to sleep the next few nights, it’s actually my insecurity about the uncertainty of life and desperate subconscious attempts to force things to work out the way I planned.   That’s not the way life works and I need something to help me let go of my need to have it all figured out.   I need a curious endeavor.   Screw it… I’m boarding the damn flight.     podcast hotline: (612) 584-9330      website | map | itunes | instagram | intro song
