Have you ever faced immense loss that gave you a new outlook on life?

Have you ever taken risks that pushed you to the brink in order to focus on your passions?

Have you ever committed time and money to a project you weren’t sure would succeed?

For Austin-based musician Micah Wagner, each of these hurdles pushed him towards music. In moments of clarity amongst the fear and grief, music always called to him.

In this episode, we talk through some of his experiences during this transformative time in his life — from helping sail a schooner between Puerto Rico and Trinidad and Tobago, to losing his mother and how he used these moments as a catalyst to become an artist, musician, and producer he is today.
