The Dad Edge Podcast

Chasing Fame and Finding Emptiness ft. Michael Gazzo


Listen Later

Have you ever achieved your biggest dreams, only to find they leave you feeling empty?

What happens when the spotlight fades, and you're left facing the shadows within?

Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Michael Gazzo—a platinum DJ, internationally touring musician, and now a transformational coach with a story that's as captivating as his music. From remixing for pop icons like Ariana Grande to rocking global stages, Michael Gazzo seemingly had it all—until he realized external success couldn't fill the void within.

Michael Gazzo bravely opens up about the hidden battles behind the fame: the crushing burnout, the allure of the party scene, and the relentless pursuit of validation from the outside world. He shares deeply personal turning points, including a transformative silent meditation retreat in Hong Kong and confronting his deepest fears during days-long darkness retreats.

Through these intense experiences, Michael Gazzo learned the profound power of pausing, looking inward, and finally healing the wounds he'd been running from since childhood.
