Rick Rubin, Hozier & In-Q

How To Unlock Your Creativity & Access Your Visionary Mind

"You have to be willing not to be liked in order to be loved. Otherwise, it's your representative they're thinking of." - IN-Q

Today’s powerful masterclass features conversations with three exceptional artists – legendary music producer Rick Rubin, acclaimed musician Hozier, and spoken word poet IN-Q. Each shares profound insights about creativity, authenticity, and the intersection of art and mental health. From Rick’s intuitive approach to producing music and emphasis on artistic truth, to Hozier’s journey of self-discovery and presence, to IN-Q’s exploration of vulnerability through poetry – this episode offers a rare glimpse into the minds of master creators and their paths to artistic freedom.

"Great means it's a devotional, it's a devotional kind of greatness. It's a gift to the universe. It's a gift to God." - Rick Rubin  

And now let’s jump into episode 1703 of The School of Greatness! 

"Quality of the work doesn't change whether it's listened to by a million people or a billion times, or it's listened by a thousand people or a hundred people or ten people." - Hozier  

Some Questions I Ask:

  • “What do you see is the thing that holds people back the most from being their most creative and best self?” 
  • “What does an artist need to be thinking and feeling at the same time to create great art?” 
  • “How do you navigate putting art out there and being like, ‘Oh, I hope people like this’ versus people are going to like it or hate it?” 
  • “What has been the biggest transformation you’ve seen within yourself through this journey of success?” 
  • “How do we talk about the problems without feeding them?” 
  • “What brings you the most joy?”

In this episode, you will learn:

  • Why being concerned with others’ opinions is the biggest barrier to creativity and how to overcome it
  • The delicate balance between vulnerability and confidence required for authentic artistic expression
  • How meditation and mindfulness can enhance creative flow and stage presence
  • The importance of creating art as a “gift to the universe” rather than chasing external validation
  • Why processing emotional pain through creative expression can lead to profound healing
  • Plus much more…
