#441: Mike Posner – The Journey Back Home

The Danny Miranda Podcast

Mike Posner is the light.

He's known worldwide as a Grammy-nominated musician. His songs like "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" and "Cooler Than Me" have been streamed billions of times.

But really, he's so much more than that.

His music helped pull me out of depression. His album – Keep Going – changed the trajectory of my life. Mike was the person I listened in September 2019 (when I started meditating and did 75 Hard).

I noticed there was something different about how he operated. He was acting in love. He was self-aware. He was willing to work hard but also trusted the flow of life. I didn't know what he was on, but I wanted it.

His impact on my life has been incredible. And then to sit down with him for 2+ hours... and have it go better than I could imagine?

What a dream come true.
