Have you ever felt pressure to present a perfect image to the world, hiding your flaws and struggles? 

In today’s Habits & Hustle episode, I chat with reggae/hip-hop artist Matisyahu for a remarkably candid conversation. The former Hasidic Jewish rapper opens up about his journey of self-discovery, addiction struggles, and finding balance in life.

Matisyahu's honesty is refreshing as he discusses his daily cannabis use, past cocaine addiction, and the challenges of maintaining sobriety. Rather than striving for an idealized version of himself, he's learned to accept his imperfections while still pursuing growth. As he puts it, he's traded in the "race car version" of himself for a more balanced "family station wagon" approach to life.

This conversation reminds us that authenticity and self-acceptance are far more valuable than presenting a facade of perfection. 

Matthew Paul Miller known by his stage name Matisyahu is an American reggae singer, rapper, beatboxer, and musician. Known for blending spiritual themes with reggae, rock and hip hop beatboxing sounds, Matisyahu's 2005 single "King Without a Crown" was a Top 40 hit in the United States. Since 2004, he has released seven studio albums as well as five live albums, two remix CDs and two DVDs featuring live concerts.

What We Discuss:

Matisyahu's journey from Orthodox Judaism to a balanced spiritual approach

The impact of October 7th on Jewish identity and unity

Challenges facing Jewish artists in the current political climate

Balancing family life with a music career

Struggles with addiction and the path to recovery

The use of cannabis and its role in Matisyahu's life

Finding authenticity in the music industry

Reflections on fame, success, and personal growth

The creation of the song "Ascent" and its powerful message

The importance of self-acceptance and embracing imperfections

Navigating career challenges and adapting to industry changes
