Episode Description
Jaymee hosts Brandon Boyd—frontman of the iconic band Incubus, painter, surfer, lifelong spiritual explorer and new father —for a playful and thoughtful conversation about creative morality and the toll of success after decades in the spotlight. Brandon reflects on the strange miracle of a band of friends from California growing into one of the most beloved rock groups of their generation, while somehow managing to keep their sense of humor, experimentation, and inner life intact. Jaymee and Brandon explore the process of songwriting while driving, the sacrifice the muse asks of its receiver, the divine paradox hidden within truths, forging your own spiritual path, the wisdom we earn through what we wouldn’t wish upon ourselves, and the ideal beauty of being a new father at 50.
