It’s not often that you can have a Grammy-nominated artist, someone who walked across America, or someone who summited Mount Everest on your podcast…
But today, we did all three.
Mike Posner is a very wise, kind, and fascinating human being with an immense amount of knowledge to share, and a huge bank of accomplishments to his name.
We started off the podcast with some breathwork and continued by talking about personal growth, taking control of your mind and body, the challenges of manhood, relationships, and the spiritual journey that we call music.
Mike Posner's expansive, multi-platinum discography has earned him global recognition. His songs have been streamed more than 10 billion times, and his pop single "I Took A Pill In Ibiza” was nominated for “Song of The Year” at the 2017 Grammys. In addition to his own music, Posner has written hits for some of the world's biggest artists, including Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber.
In 2019, Posner walked nearly 3,000 miles across North America in an effort to inspire people to challenge themselves, surviving a rattlesnake bite along the way. He then made it to the peak of Mount Everest in 2021, raising more than $250,000 dollars for the Detroit Justice Center for his endeavor.
