Summary

Mike Posner (@MikePosner) is a musician, poet, record producer, and singer-songwriter responsible for hits like Cooler Than Me and I Took a Pill in Ibiza.

What We Discuss with Mike Posner:

  • Why Mike looks at success and failure as waves that tend to follow one another -- not states of guaranteed permanence.
  • Is Mike walking from sea to shining sea on his own two feet in an effort to prove that this Groves Falcon is way better than any Seaholm Maple could ever be?
  • And much more...
