Mike Posner: ON How Fame Ruined His Life

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Mike Posner is the musician behind the hit songs I Took A Pill In Ibiza and Cooler Than Me. But behind the flashing lights and sold-out shows lies a very unique mind, one that has learned to deal with fame and fortune and most recently—the loss of his father. On today’s episode, Mike shares his insights on how to deal with loss, why moments of epiphany must be processed, and what the difference between the mind and intelligence is. Mike even turns the table on Jay—and asks him many profound questions about his own experience unpacking mindfulness.  Tune in to this episode to catch a glimpse of the mechanics behind this singer-songwriter’s brain.
