I spoke with legendary music producer Rick Rubin. We discuss everything from the importance of meditation, to geeking out with your community, and even being willing to continue pushing yourself when it feels like you aren’t moving forward.

The Power Points:

(01:07) - The process of making an album in an ever-shifting industry — “It keeps happening where people grow up with a certain kind of music, they get into it and then they realize that they can take it somewhere it’s never gone before.”
(08:16) - Classical music, a passion for magic and understanding how to manufacture experiences — “Following the things that got me excited was something that I always did from the time that I was young and something that my parents always supported.”
(14:36) - Feedback is a mistake: the power of meditation — “It allows you to get very quiet and still. There's a tremendous amount of acceptance. If you sit down and do it, you’ve succeeded.”
(16:36) - On curiosity, initiative and how to start a radio station at your school — “I was looking for ways to practice the things I was interested in doing either for myself or with an audience.”
(22:08) - How excitement and the need to share and connect with like-minded people defeats fear and contributes to confidence — “The hunger for that connection is the thing that gets you over the hunk to ask the question you don’t want to ask.”
(27:47) - A natural genius: how Rick built his acclaimed career in the music industry — “My interest was in making these things and putting them out. It was never about how big they could get and how much money I could make, I never considered that.”
(37:50) - On starting over and what to do when your art collides with real life obstacles — “Any of the things that we think of as struggles or difficulties or fears, they could also be drivers.”
(45:16) - How the smallest things can make a world of a difference — “The universe conspires on our behalf to tell us what we need to know.”
