Listen "The Art of Obsession: Merrick Watts on Failure, Focus and What’s Next"
Episode Synopsis
Merrick Watts has never been one to sit still. From radio and stand-up to SAS: Australia, wine judging, and now launching a hydration drink, he’s built a career out of reinvention — powered by what he calls “self-diagnosed obsession.”In this episode, Merrick joins Amy and Jono to unpack what drives him: his obsession with goal-setting, why he thrives on discomfort, and how he views failure as fuel. He opens up about the real reason Merrick & Rosso ended, why he treats weekdays like a Rolls-Royce and weekends like a rental car, and how he balances ambition with family (or doesn’t).You’ll also hear the wild story behind his new Roman-inspired hydration drink, why he talks to his Great Dane like she’s human, and how emotional control on stage separates great comedians from the rest.This one’s funny, honest and full of wisdom from a man who has no plans to slow down — and probably couldn’t if he tried.Follow Jono & Amy:http://www.instagram.com/jonocastanoacerohttp://www.instagram.com/amycastanoFollow Merrick:https://www.instagram.com/merrickwattsFollowCuriousMedia:https://www.instagram.com/curiousmediahqhttps://www.curious.media
