Summary
My guest today is Nikki Sixx and I have to tell you, this is by far one of the best interviews and guests I've had on the podcast. I grew up on Motley Crew and no doubt this interview surpassed all my expectations in the content he shared, his authenticity and so much more. You won't want to miss it.
Nikki Sixx is one of the most respected, recognizable and entrepreneurial icons in the music industry. He founded Motley Crew and has been sober for 21 years. He is incredibly passionate about his craft and wide open about his life in rock and roll.
He was an All-American kid growing up. He loved to hunt, fishing, he chased girls, played football, but underneath of all of it, there was this burning desire for more, and that was music.
It's one of my top 5 interviews, that is all I can say.
