Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

Question № 81 | Why not give it a shot? (feat. Kieran Folliard)

Do you have an idea you’re sitting on, but you’ve been hesitant to give it a shot? 

Maybe it’s new and you’re nervous. Maybe you don’t know where to start. Maybe you do, but the logistics seem daunting… Kieran Folliard knows what that feels like but thinks you should still give it a shot! 

Kieran’s name is synonymous with Irish pubs in the Twin Cities and he just released a new Irish whiskey called Red Locks. But our story doesn’t start there… almost 10 years ago, Sarah and I got our engagement photos taken at his pub The Local and his previous whiskey endeavor sponsored our wedding!

Join us for a conversation over Red Locks Irish Whiskey about how that came about, strapping up your knees to give your ideas a shot, and what stands in the way.

WSD! Pt. VI - Keeping A Log

Pick any day in the past 6 years... I can tell you EXACTLY where I was and what happened. It's not because I have the best memory in the world, far from it! It's because of something I do called "Logging" - It only takes a couple of minutes each morning and it's one of the most curiously rewarding habits or commitments I've ever made.

WSD! Pt. V - ”El Hitlist”

Two conversations have changed the way I look at To-Do lists. One, I had with my friend Cory Wong. The other, I overheard with writer/director Robert Rodriguez. But I don't feel like talking about it...

WSD! Pt. II - Taking notes on Podcasts & Audiobooks

In Pt. II of this mini-series I'm calling, "Write Sh*t Down!" I dive into the method I've developed of taking notes while listening to podcasts and audiobooks. It's totally different from when you're reading and this Sh*t's important! What you're listening to lately MATTERS and is a reflection of, not only your own curiosity but also your friends', and you'll want to keep track of it, here's why...
