“My legacy will be how I made people feel. Not what I said, not what I did.”

Michael Bublé: How He Overcomes Self-Doubt Daily & The Ugly Truth About Fame

Michael Bublé drops his mask in this raw conversation, revealing how becoming a father at the peak of his career completely rewrote his definition of success. The Grammy-winning artist who’s sold 75 million records admits he’s “failing miserably” at being present while simultaneously choosing family over fame at every turn—a decision that’s cost him millions but given him everything that matters. He opens up about his stage alter ego, his unshakeable faith, and why the moments his kids will never remember are actually his greatest achievements. This is what it looks like when someone figures out how to stay human while staying on top.

"Individual human beings have so much power. We feel small. We feel like we're alone, we feel like we're helpless. But you have so much power just as an individual. You just walk out of your apartment or your house and do one kind random act. You have no idea how much you can impact and change somebody's life."
