Today we're sitting down with Mike Posner. Mike Posner's expansive, multi-platinum discography has earned him global recognition, and in 2019, Posner walked nearly 3,000 miles across North America in an effort to inspire people to challenge themselves, surviving a rattlesnake bite along the way. He then made it to the peak of Mount Everest in 2021, raising more than $250,000 for the Detroit Justice Center for his endeavor. Today, we discuss his career, how he got a record deal from Jay Z, and the thought behind his hit song, "I Took A Pill In Ibiza." He also discusses his journey with his mental health, finding solitude, walking across the USA, and climbing Mt. Everest.
