Rick Rubin is Good As

This episode features outtakes from multiple interviews with Rick Rubin and every song sampled comes from a record produced by him. Rubin is a music icon and Def Jam Recordings co-founder. He advocates for simplicity and instinct and his commitment to creativity has shaped many legendary albums. Rubin's philosophy is a source I constantly go back to for guidance and reassurance whenever my own creative motivation is lacking. Regardless of his intention, Rick’s words carry profound depth. At least that's how I perceive them; perhaps they'll strike a chord with you as well. Jimmy Iovine, another legend of the music industry and recent guest on Rubin's podcast, also features in this episode.
