You've heard the music, sang the lyrics and probably danced to a song or two from one of the most famous bands of all time.

Yet, behind-the-scenes not is all it looks from fame.

In today's episode, Nikki is joined by Ryan Dusick, a founding member and original drummer of Maroon 5. He's opening up about creating the band, skyrocketing to mega-fame, BTS in Hollywood, and what life was really like behind the success.

To the millions of fans, he had it all. Yet secretly he battled with perfectionism, anxiety, addictions and eventually was let go of the band - his band. This is Ryan's story about recovery, becoming a life coach and registered therapist, and how the hardest times led to his greatest purpose. He now inspires people through his teachings, writing, and brand new podcast.

His story is nothing short of inspiring and will give you a new perspective on the importance of inner happiness even if you're chasing after external success.
