Description: Mike travels to the Tara Mandala Buddhist Monastery in Pagosa Springs, Colorado to spend one week in isolation.

Simple Love is a common language :)  ok this song from Ylvis is humouristic: https://youtu.be/MCxDJnHiLqs But seriously I made a list of different ways of communicating and the connecting between people who love each others is singular... this is the easiest way to speak without words. It may be family or friends but it does not matter. The connection between each of us is important and with all the technology evolving we are loosing part of it unfortunately. Gosh I remember going outside and yelling accross the street to communicate to my friend living in front of my parent's house. I miss those days. Now we are so on defense and critical of each other and we text more than we speak. We are lucky and don't even see it,but we should. Anyway. I consider myself lucky for being here and thank you Mike Posner for taking time to do those podcasts.  Have a good day and enjoy it to the fullest :) ✌

your podcasts are making me better ❤️ Thanks

So glad I discovered this via impact theory. Inspiring storytelling. 

An exploratory journey into what it means to be a human. When existing in a dynamic society becomes humdrum, the notion of marching among the living seems like an expedition far away. Open up the window to your soul and let the breeze in while asking yourself: what does it mean to live a fulfilling life? What does this all mean?

Mike Posner visits his father’s gravesite in a riveting, impassioned excerpt on what life has entailed since losing him. Although the tears he shed last Father’s Day are now dry, the spiritual encounter he felt still vibrates through his words as he finds himself revisiting the memories his father left behind for him.

Happy Father's Day (E01)

An encounter with a trainer in a North Hollywood gym leads Mike to observe despair from a different vantage point. When tragedy strikes in life, it's simple to forget the sun's rays are still beaming behind the gloomy cloud looming over. A dark cloud obscuring the light isn't the end, it's merely another opportunity to close your eyes and remind yourself, behind the clouds the sun is always shining. Piano by Super Matt Chatigny. Written and Produced by Mike Posner.

The Sun Is Always Shining (E02)

A humbling experience with Kanye West in a New York elevator steers Mike to embark on an unforeseen adventure with his friend Big Sean. With 'Cooler Than Me' making its waves through college dorms, Mike stares blankly at a sociology paper in Duke's library while contemplating his ambitions as a singer. The daunting feeling of rejection can be crippling, especially when it comes from one of the biggest artists in the world, but maybe rejection is the first step into getting to where we want to be.
