    What happens when life forces you to face your mortality head-on, three times in a row?

    In this heart-opening and deeply insightful conversation, Rock Star member and author Michael Drake shares the raw, personal journey that inspired his book The Paradox of a Mortal Mind.

We talk regrets, hard-earned wisdom, mindset shifts, and the deeply practical tools he now uses to live with intention—time blocking, energy management, fitness, money, real estate, Bitcoin, and more.

    This is a conversation about using the reality of death not to scare, but to free. To help you reframe your time, create more space for what truly matters, and live every day as the gift it is.
