Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person

Chris Koza (@chriskoza on Instagram) is a composer and performer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His music appears regularly on ABC’s General Hospital and 60 Minuets. His song (with his band Rogue Valley) The Wolves and the Ravens was featured in Ben Stiller’s film The secret Life of Walter Mitty and has become the soundtrack to the majority of my road trips across Europe with Sarah ever since we...

Right before walking on stage, my friend Joe Beier and I got into a fascinating conversation about him having perfect pitch and what that looks like... literally. There was only one thing to do… put the convo on pause… go rock out… and then press record once we got back to the green room.     Podcast Hotline: (612) 584-9330      Website | Map | iTunes | Instagram | Intro Song

Andrew McMahon is a singer-songwriter best known for his bands Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. Earlier this month, it just so happened that Andrew and I were both performing on a floating music festival called “The Rock Boat”. Neither of us felt like we wanted to waste a perfectly good evening recording a podcast indoors, so we did the only thing that ma...

I ambush Sarah to talk about why this daily podcasting is so damn hard for me, her advice and to talk about the need for solidarity over solutions in a marriage relationship. 

We've all heard "There's no such thing as a dumb question” but I think that’s a load of crap… Often times we have questions that we’re afraid of coming across as dumb or annoying, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ask them anyways. In this episode, I talk about the importance of ‘Framing’ your question in a way that endears the other person to you instantly and makes them want to give you a well...

I'm back home, trading the sand for a snow-storm and I'm reminded of a conversation I had with someone a few days ago that helps me look at life (if not for a split seccond) through the eyes of someone else. That said, I really would love to have you reach out, call the hotline and help me define what it means to live more curiously. ------------------------------   Call The Official Podcast Hotli...

“In Praxia” is Latin for “In Practice” In this follow up to yesterday’s episode about something I’m calling “The UBER Challenge” I sit down with one of my closest friends, Aron Johnson, in Tampa Florida to talk about our recent UBER ride and how much we learned from our driver in 15min. I have a feeling this challenge is here to stay. (Reach out and let me know if this is cheesy as hell… or maybe...

I hate small talk. If I’m sitting next to someone on a flight or in an UBER, I’m most comfortable with my headphones in, minding my own business. But this year is different, I’ve committed to living a more curious life and that means being more generous with my attention and conversation on a day to day basis. Because of that I’ve come up with something I’m calling my UBER Challenge. Two things I...

It’s officially colder at this moment where we are in Minnesota than it is in Antarctica. At these temps, frostbite sets in within five minutes of exposure, the US Postal Service has canceled their routes and my flight out of town tomorrow has been canceled. That said... the news is telling everyone to stay inside, but I’m curious what -24 feels like so I convinced Sarah to bundle up with a Guinne...

My friend, Danny Warnock, and I are in the middle of a gig but we stepped out of the green-room long enough to talk about the company he started making hammocks and (like the majority of our convos) it ended up going way deeper talking about fear setting, taking on risk, and the real meaning of the phrase, “It’ll all work out ok in the end.” Recording Location: Anoka, MN Danny's Company: www.super...

If you ever visited Minnesota in the winter, you’re bound to notice constant activity happening on any number of the, now frozen over, lakes. I’m not originally from here, so this seasonal icebound cold leveraging is still new to me and I’m fascinated by anyone braving the elements and not letting -14 degree windchills stop them from enjoying the outdoors. Apparently, the US Pond Hockey Championsh...

I’m so tired of hearing artists I play with get asked, “So… what’s that song about.” I mean… I know it has it’s place in life, it’s a direct question and an important one at times, but I guess I’m just bored with it. I’ve been hunting for a more interesting question to ask when it comes to songwriting and I may have finally found one!!!   ------------------------------     Call The Official Podcas...

When you spend a year and a half listening to yourself talk to other people... it's hard to not become discouraged when every mistake you make is constantly right there naked in-front of you. What's surprising is, by choosing to learn from them, it has massively impacted even my music and even the artists I stand behind. In this episode, I take a moment before walking into a rehearsal to push thro...
