The Real Reason You Feel Empty (Even When Life Looks Good) with Musician Mike Posner

Are you teaching people to be okay with being uncomfortable? Because you talk about it, that that pain is a teacher. I realized that I was 30 years old. I was trapped under the weight of my own success. I've got a few hits, got a few million dollars, and I'm just sort of looking around like, is this it?

Cause I got all the stuff I was supposed to. There was this asymmetry between like what I had to give to the world and what I had given to the world. And I said if I keep following that script, I know I'm never going to close the gap. I have to admit something. I am not a millennial.

I also don't listen to a lot of popular music. And so, if I'm really honest, I didn't really know who Mike Posner was when we booked him on the podcast. Turns out he's a multi-platinum Grammy nominated recording artist and producer, but my team knew exactly who he was, because they're millennials. And for them, Mike's hits were more than just songs, they were anthems for their generation. Songs like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza
