The Thing About Cigars...
Curiosity Habit
I invited my friends JD Tiner and Brett Taylor to come over for a smoke while they entertain my curiosity about things cigars. Just a heads up- we were sitting outside on my back house porch and the rain was INTENSE, so if you’re wondering who left the sleep machine on, it was God.

Barrett Ward is surrounded by women
Curiosity Habit
My guest today is one of my favorite people in the world. Equally hilarious, smart, and vulnerable, Barrett Ward is a really unique guy. If that name sounds familiar, then you might be a member of the Mocha Club, or maybe you own a FashionABLE- brand scarf. Barrett is the man behind them both. I sat down with Barrett to catch up on life and see what he’s working on now.

Pinball? Yes, Pinball (w/ Seth Steele)
Curiosity Habit
After spending a month in pinball-rich Portland, Oregon I began to get curious about all things pinball after returning home to Nashville, and ended up meeting Seth Steele, cofounder of the Nashville Pinball League, and owner of some 20-odd pinball machines. I thought he’d be the perfect person to offer a window into the obsession that is PINBALL.

Why Design Matters w/ Gavin Ivester
Curiosity Habit
I had been hearing about this ex shoe designer for Nike, who coincidentally also designed the first powerbook for Apple and now living in Nashville for a couple years before we were formally introduced. Because I had gone to college essentially to learn how to design sneakers, but then fell in love with Apple (among other great design-centric brands), I was all-too-eager to meet Gavin Ivester. I recorded our conversation, so without further adieu- here’s a couple guys nerding out about design.

Derek Webb is the reason I started writing songs
Curiosity Habit
My guest today is Derek Webb- one of the primary writers/front men of the band that inspired my first songwriting attempts, Caedmon's Call. He would later go on to foster a feather-ruffling solo career, as well as found the tribe-building platform, Noisetrade. Derek’s a fascinating guy, and I hope you enjoy our conversation, which you’ll be joining mid-stream…

Your pain might all be in your head (w/ Dr. Matt McClanahan)
Curiosity Habit
What if your back pain isn’t really anything actually wrong with your BACK? And what if your anxiety is really a ‘warning light’ signaling that something else needs attention? That’s what my childhood best friend Dr. Matt McClanahan is finding as he’s worked with his patients as well as his own pain.

Taylor Bruce wants you to travel like a local
Curiosity Habit
I’m pleased to be sharing my conversation with friend and fellow-curious person, Taylor Bruce. Taylor is one who shares my enthusiasm for people and travel, only he’s turned his into a business. In 2012, after suffering from writers block while penning a novel, he turned his love for travel, exploration and words into a series of beautiful and helpful field guides with a funny name, Wildsam. Enjoy!

Curiosity Habit
Not only is Judah Akers building an incredible music career in his band, Judah & The Lion, but before that, he was a star collegiate ATHLETE, playing baseball for the Belmont Bruins. If that weren’t enough to make you hate the guy, he’s really handsome AND genuinely kind too.

CEO/Songwriter/Singer/Entertainer Ben Rector
Curiosity Habit
Over the past 10 years, Ben Rector has been artfully carving out a career as a performing singer-sonwriter, amassing hundreds of thousands of fans all over the world, all while staying true to his ‘guy next door’ demeanor. Ben has been a friend since he moved to Nashville in 2009, and I have been impressed and, lets be honest, JEALOUS by how dang consistent Ben is-both in the quality and craft of his songs, but also how he runs his business.
