Outlier Profile - Karl Irons
back to Who Are These Guys?
| |
| Karl is, we believe, the original Outliers fan. And, for better or worse, also the original Outliers critic. But above all, he's always been the original Outliers friend. In the early days of the band, Karl was always present to cheer us on, offer praise (when deserved) and criticism (when deserved). While we didn't always want to hear it, nor always agree, we always knew we had a friend who cared about the band. Karl's interest in the band and perpetual desire to understand and explain the world at large led him to conceptualize the original "Irons' Band Analysis", which helped explain the unique Outliers' sound. Karl currently lives in Colorado (we miss you big guy) and works in the consulting industry. | |
