We chat about his incredible book, the healing power of nature, music, performing and vulnerability, his Ted talk, Tepito Coffee – providing work for formerly incarcerated people, wanting to help everyone, acceptance plus plenty more!

I love how Mike talks about how trying is an automatic success, a win, win situation as he says. He implies you can’t lose if you try as its just opportunities to grow and learn. I love this mindset because it allows one to have the freedom to explore and enjoy life to the fullest, without the fear of getting it right. I also like how he talks about the importance of healing within a community, I think this is great because as he says, often we think we need to do everything alone, finding your people, or people you enjoy is crucial to living a happier life. Plus, he encourages us to get into nature to heal, a lovely reminder for me.
