Education
PART 2: Mic Tee asks himself big questions - the WHY behind all the pushing, grinding, hustling. And he shares the power of evaluating it all, to really see what matters most in life. "When I started chasing the life of no borders and limits, I found myself in a life of borders and limits." Today's guest is Mic Tee, a Music Executive and Producer originally from Toronto, Canada but seen in studios all over the world. Mic Tee started carving his path in the music biz as a scrappy club DJ/MC in college to then ghost writing and producing submissions for huge named artists (Pharrell, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Lil Wayne – just to name a few). When Mic Tee's music career took off rather quickly, his lifestyle reflected a version of success many strive to achieve. Mic Tee most recently teamed up with a number of his industry colleagues to start an artist development and music education firm, Emtee Education. The company helps artists and labels in developing a strategy to build a long lasting career in music. With a strong focus on the emotional and mental aspect, Emtee Education's main goal is to bring the importance of career sustainability into the forefront. In this episode Willow and Mic Tee talk candidly about where his love of music began to what really matters in life now after achieving success in the music industry. We tackle the topics like; the pressures of having to answer 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and how it plays into the hustle culture, and eventual burnout, how not everything is what it seems behind the glossy images and flashy online personas, how asking yourself the big question; ‘Why am I doing this?’ leads to clarity, spirituality and the power of a higher purpose. By re-evaluating his version of success, Mic Tee reignited the things that actually matter. Like being able to change the world, and making people's lives better.
