The Importance of Drummers in Music

I’m honored to welcome the incredibly talented and inspirational Mike Posner to the show. You might know Mike from his multi-platinum discography. His global hits like “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” have been streamed over 10 billion times, earning him a Grammy nomination and a revered spot in the music world. Mike's also the mastermind behind chart-topping songs for icons like Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber.

But what truly sets him apart isn't just his musical prowess; it’s his remarkable humility and relentless pursuit of growth and self-discovery.

In 2019, Mike embarked on a near 3,000-mile trek across North America, a life-changing journey that included surviving a life-threatening rattlesnake bite. This extraordinary feat was followed by scaling the heights of Mount Everest in 2021 while raising over $250,000 for the Detroit Justice Center. Through these endeavors, Mike's not just challenging his limits but also inspiring others to explore their potential and discover true freedom and purpose.

In today's episode, Mike and I delve into the profound lessons learned from his incredible experiences. We discuss how challenges and pain can be powerful catalysts for growth and evolution. Mike shares his insights on reaching the pinnacle of success in the music industry, the inspiration behind his monumental walk across the United States, and how a rattlesnake bite reshaped his perspective.

We also get into the nitty-gritty of his songwriting genius, our shared love for great music, and what’s left to conquer on his dream to-do list. And – for the first time on The Life Stylist Podcast – Mike performs a song, live, bringing his soulful sound right to your ears.

His journey, from the peaks of musical fame to the highest peak on Earth itself, is a testament to living life with intention, humility, and love as guiding forces. This episode is packed with life lessons about finding fulfillment, staying grounded, and embracing life’s gifts. So tune in, get inspired, and let’s explore the power of transformation with the one and only, Mike Posner.
