Hello Dr Mike, I’m listening….
As a musician and mental health student, “Hardcore Humanism” really checks all of the boxes for me and I find Dr. Mike’s knowledge and interviewing skills lead to really informative and unique interviews. Dr. Mike’s human-centered approach really helps explore the psychology and motivations of his guests in a casual and entertaining manner. Great podcast!
I came across this podcast a couple of months back and I’m sad to say that I’ve now caught up with all of the episodes.
Very interesting discussions about drive, purpose and finding your own (sometimes alternative) path in life.
What I really like is that Mike allows the guests to tell their story without interjections and there’s lot of great insights along the way. Enjoy!
Great podcast! I really enjoy listening to Dr. Mike, and all the artists he interviews. Excellent topics of discussion!!
Great podcast. Dr. Mike conducts outstanding interviews and gets to the heart of the matter.
