This week we feature French-Malagasy pianist, composer, and producer, Mathis Picard. We discuss his upcoming book, "Where. Music. Lives." which reflects the combination of the mind, body, and soul; melody, harmony, and rhythm; and the 7 chakras. Reminding us of the importance of being present, leading with purpose, and being intentional about why we play music, this conversation encourages us to step away from the capitalistic mentality of constant production and open our minds to what already exists inside of us.

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Mei Rui, a Yale-trained molecular biochemist and an internationally award-winning concert pianist. Dr. Rui is the Director of Music-in-Medicine and Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
