  • Mike Posner: Why Fame Didn’t Fix Anything | NADC!

    Multi-platinum artist Mike Posner sits down with Neen Williams and Phillip Frankland Lee for a deeply honest conversation about faith, depression, sobriety, and redefining success.
    Mike shares how growing up secular shaped his worldview, how music helped him feel seen, and the inner work that followed fame. He opens up about AA, mental health practices, gratitude, and why success isn’t about money. The episode also explores extreme moments that changed his perspective—walking across America, getting bitten by a rattlesnake, and facing death on Mount Everest.
    A grounded conversation about becoming human, writing your own rules for success, and what truly matters in the long run.

  • Neen Williams: The Turning Points That Shaped My Life | NADC!

    On this episode of NADC, hosts Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams flip the format as Neen steps into the guest seat for a raw, reflective conversation on discipline, sacrifice, and longevity.
    Neen breaks down how he was introduced to skateboarding, the decision to stop school and go all-in, and what it really took to climb the ranks in professional skating. He opens up about his first major injury, the unseen problems that come with success, and the internal guilt that hits when you feel like you’re not doing enough.
    The conversation digs into fully committing to your craft, closing the door on distractions, learning through failure, and why taking care of your body and health is non-negotiable. Neen also talks about his transition into coaching and what purpose looks like after reaching the top.
    This episode is about focus, self-accountability, and building a life that actually lasts.

Phillip opens up about his origins, his 8th-grade band audition grind, and the moment he first saw real money.

  • Ryan Holiday: Why Mastery Isn’t the Same as Success | NADC!

    On this episode of the NADC Podcast, hosts Neen Williams and Phillip Frankland Lee sit down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday for a grounded, no-nonsense look at mastery, discipline, and the long road to real success. Ryan dismantles the “10,000-hour” myth, explains why mastering something isn’t the same as being successful at it, and makes the blunt case that if you’re in it for money, you’re already lost.

    They dig into the irony of success, why starting feels like you’re already behind, how to find the right teacher, and how Ryan first found Stoicism. He also shares why his latest book wasn’t even his idea and what new projects he’s building now—before closing on why Stoicism matters more than ever.
