“I need to know on the ultimate level, it's meaningless, it's nothing.”

In this episode of 'The Sober Creative', host Katie Burke sits down with Mikey, a punk rocker and Buddhist meditation teacher, to explore the surprising harmony between these two seemingly different worlds. Mikey, known for his work with bands like The Rip Taylors and Scars & Stripes, shares how his journey into Buddhism has profoundly impacted his sobriety and creative process.
He talks about the wisdom of 'meeting life directly' and how creativity can be a powerful tool for belonging and self-expression.

Instead, he advocates for a daily practice of sobriety and creativity, guided by mindfulness and meditation.
