Rick Rubin: Tuning Into the Creative Cosmos & the Art of Awakening #475

Today's guest, for many, requires no introduction. Rick Rubin is an American record executive and producer with one of the best beards in the business. He's the co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, founder of American Recordings, and former co-president of Columbia Records.  He’s worked with a laundry list of hugely successful bands and artists from various genres, including The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Metallica, The Cult, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, Johnny Cash to name a few. He has a podcast on the craft of music called Broken Record, and an epic, brand new podcast called Tetragrammaton. This year, he also released his first book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being. Rick's perspective on life and creativity is truly inspiring and instructive. We recorded this episode at Rick's house in Malibu. It was a blast catching up and distilling his wisdom on life, creativity, and of course, music. We get into all sorts of fun in this episode, including Rick's experience practicing transcendental meditation from a young age, why it took eight years to complete his new book, and why he wasn't interested in writing a book about his career in music.  Let's get our creative juices flowing with the wisdom of Rick Rubin. Enjoy the ride and as always, share it with some friends. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is presented for educational and exploratory purposes only.
