Learn about the transcendent power of music and the impact it has on our mind and body from acclaimed composer and producer Rich Lucano. In this episode, Mark chats to Rich about the connection between music, mental health and mindset. This conversation explores the positive benefits of listening to music during exercise and mindful practices as well as listening to music with no distractions to have a powerful impact on our mind, mood and so much more.

Our favourite quotable moment:

“We’re born with a heartbeat. We’re genetically fused with rhythm – we speak to communicate and there’s a melody or a cadence to the way that we relate to each other. And if we don’t communicate, we don’t survive. So in a way, melody is intrinsic to our survival. Sound is intrinsic to our survival.” – Rich Lucano (10:24)
