The Burden of Success

In Episode 23 of Flow State Podcast, Harry reflects on the milestones he’s reached over the year, from exploring written music and performing for his largest crowd to launching a podcast. He shares what it means to be a role model, talks about overcoming performance anxiety, and recounts an early mistake as a musician and the lessons it taught him. Harry reacts to a fan-submitted freestyle and revisits his first YouTube video, reflecting on his growth over seven years. As always, he closes the episode with a freestyle, weaving together the key themes of the show. ------ SHOW NOTES: The Freestyle Grand Slam | Harry Mack x New York Yankees https://youtu.be/CQi3aCj7NRk Harry Mack Freestyles for Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for Bad Boys: Ride or Die https://youtu.be/L4JxqES_Gzk They Chanted My Name After This Freestyle | Harry Mack Guerrilla Bars 57 Boomtown https://youtu.be/w1LicQeIMCw LOWLANDS FESTIVAL 2024 FULL SET - Harry Mack https://youtu.be/juR9CZuF3Xw Anomaly Tour 2025 https://www.harrymackofficial.com/shows Plan In Motion - Harry Mack https://www.harrymackofficial.com/plan-in-motion Senna https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424432/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_4_nm_4_in_0_q_senna Fast Raps with Chrome & McLaren F1 at the #USGP https://youtu.be/IGBM5yOOz9o Black Thought on Flex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prmQgSpV3fA Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi Benny Greb https://bennygreb.de/ Ethos Music Center https://www.ethos.org/programs Pink Martini https://pinkmartini.com/ Harry Mack - "Bounce House" Car Freestyle https://youtu.be/gqGThHzAilw?si=AMtzq3FZ2WKf1UMg Harry Mack Freestyles from Randomlists.com https://youtu.be/fYFiBJVbdf8 -------- 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:06 Reflecting on 2024 00:18:02 Flow state moments 00:24:48 Q1: Do you feel pressure to be a role model? 00:36:20 Q2: How to overcome fear of putting yourself out there 00:47:11 Q3: How do you learn from your mistakes?  01:02:23 Freestyle submission 01:10:59 Harry reacts to his first YouTube video 01:28:06 Closing freestyle
