Sarah and I ran into two of our friends, Laura Lou and Seth Linard (of Fretless marketing) at Northbound Smokehouse while grabbing beers this evening. I stopped by for a Belgium ale, but ended up getting a conversation that helped me to think… this Daily Guinness thing just might be something I could keep doing this time around.

David Jackson is a professional photographer who’s shot portraits of Butch Vig, Lemmy Kilmister, Garbage, Tommy Stinson, Chase Bryant, Machine Gun Kelly, and Garry Clark Jr… and Rob Morgan ;) just to name a few.
Right before I turned off the microphones after last week’s episode (Q68) he sat down for a couple minutes to talk about his role in the pop-up-shop that I stumbled on and ended up giving me some advice that’s applicable for anyone creating something that requires interacting with someone you just met for the first time.
Join me as I sit down with David and stick around till the end, as I riff about the four biggest takeaways from our convo and I’ll share some mistakes I’ve made with guests on this podcast that could have been avoided if I would have had this convo sooner.

Scott Watzlawick is the owner of an oddities shop in Appleton, Wisconsin called “Forty Three Skulls”. I was in town for a music festival called ‘Mile Of Music’ and was walking around town with Nate Babbs and André Rodriguez (close friends who happen to be curious people and past guests) when we stumbled on FTS’ pop-up-shop. One convo with Scott’s daughter, Kayla, and I knew this wasn’t your ordinary oddities shop.
Why does Scott consider himself a teacher and an artist? How’d he get into this buisiness? What does the industry and process of collecting, cleaning and selling bones look like? And what can I learn from Scott and his skulls about the importance of looking past the exterior of people we meet on a daily basis?
Join me as I sit down with Scott over iced coffee as he answers these questions and more for a conversation that ended up bringing me to tears.

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.

Started recording some thoughts while drinking coffee in our backyard in case you find yourself getting hung up on seeking other’s approval of your work… or even more dangerous and even less talked about… getting hung up on your own judgement of it…

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.
