Jared & Valerie Luhman were both raised on farms in Minnesota and loved that upbringing. Now married, they live on the family farm, Dry Creek Red Angus, where Jared farms with his dad producing organic crops, and raising beef cattle. "Our goal is to farm in a way that leaves the land in better condition than how we received it, to produce high quality and healthy products, and to generate enough income to provide the opportunity for any member of the family to have the opportunity to work on the farm if they desire."
What does the future of farming and agriculture look like in Minnesota? How the temptation to use too much “Industry language” make communication harder for all of us no matter what industry we’re in? And what does it mean to be an ‘organic’ farm?
Join me as I sit down Jared & Valerie Luhman outside on a hill overlooking their family farm to answer these questions and more.
Recording Location: The Family Farm, Goodhue MN

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.

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.

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.

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.
