Flow State with Harry Mack
03/18/24 • 69 min
Josh Harmon is one of the most unique and entertaining content creators out there today and it was a pleasure to have him as a guest on Flow State! Josh is best known for his Rhythms of Comedy series and for creating live sound effects for scenes from some of your favorite cartoons, TV episodes, and movies. Part of what was so cool about getting to meet him in person and learning about his story was seeing how many parallels we share! From a childhood passion for drumming to forging his own path in online content creation during lockdown, this is definitely a man after my own heart. Hope y’all enjoy and be sure to check out his amazing work!

Sur Jazz: Touring The World, Music Production, The Art of DJ-ing
Flow State with Harry Mack
02/19/24 • 82 min
It’s only right that the first official Flow State guest is not only one of my closest musical collaborators, but also someone I feel very privileged to call a friend... the incomparable Sur Jazz!!!! The two of us only really started working together consistently a couple years back, but in that short window of time we’ve managed to live SO MUCH life together— traveling the world, doing shows, and making lifelong memories both on and off the stage. There isn’t a room on earth that Jazz can’t light up with his energy. His musical knowledge is DEEP and ever expanding. Beyond DJing, Jazz’s production skills are top notch (as evidenced by the banger we dropped a few months back called “2024”— y’all know what’s up). The two of us have talked for hundreds of hours off camera but it was awesome to finally sit down and chop it up with Jazz for the pod. Hope y’all enjoy!!

Flow State with Harry Mack
07/08/24 • 69 min
In Episode 12 of Flow State, Harry sits down with actor, podcaster, and author of the New York Times Bestselling book Soul Boom, Rainn Wilson. Harry and Rainn connect on their shared PNW origin stories, views of spirituality beyond religion, and learning to reject the internal voice of self-doubt. Rainn talks about improv vs. scripted acting in his fan-favorite role of Dwight Schrute on The Office, and explains how both zonkeys and dead cats are like mullets in their own unique ways. Finally, Harry finds freestyle inspiration in Rainn’s challenging vocabulary while Rainn beatboxes for the very first time... ---- SHOW NOTES Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution by Rainn Wilson https://bookshop.org/a/102858/9780306828270 Soul Boom Podcast https://www.soulboom.com/ Metaphysical Milkshake with Rainn and Reza https://www.youtube.com/@metaphysicalmilkshakewithr7882 The Rocker https://youtu.be/YZonKTNeOnY?si=sHLks5sbrV-xPqa- Whiplash https://www.sonyclassics.com/whiplash/ The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron https://bookshop.org/a/102858/9780143129257 2000 Seasons Talib Kweli https://youtu.be/2tW36xcoQCI?si=h1uz_A0u3IZr7irp Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn https://bookshop.org/a/102858/9780306832017

What’s goin on y’all? We’re back with another episode of Flow State. You probably noticed by now that I’ve been going in hard on new written tracks, and I wanted to take the chance to talk a bit about where that creative impulse came from and how it’s been going. Y’all keep submitting fantastic questions, so this episode we’re also talking about meditation, overcoming self doubt, and how exactly I remember all those random words during freestyles — including during one of the most exciting, high-pressure freestyles of my life... when I got to spit a flow for Ice Cube and the cast of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so pop in those ear buds and LET’S GOOOOO!

Why Using A Dumb Phone Is Smart

06/24/24 • 79 min
Harry’s back with Flow State Episode 11. In this solo episode, Harry gets real about the undesired effects of algorithm-fueled social media scrolling and how he started reclaiming that time in his day. He answers questions about what he’s currently reading, who inspires him, and who could take on the role of Harry Mack when it’s time to film the story of his life. Harry also talks about getting lost in flow state and what’s happening when he closes his eyes during a freestyle. After reacting to his viral Move Ya Body collaboration with Marc Rebillet, Harry sums up the episode in a freestyle so fast it outpaces the studio’s wi-fi.

Alright y’all— after 2 exhilarating improvisational explorations on his acclaimed podcast Take Your Shoes Off, it was time to bring the incomparable Rick Glassman into Flow State I knew it’d be a great pod, but I had no idea I’d get to reap the benefits of Rick’s PCS (Podcast Consulting Service) free of charge! I just genuinely love hanging out with this guy so much. It was awesome to hear about the parallels between my approach to doing improvised concerts and Rick’s approach to editing and animating his podcast. Also the narrative freestyle toward the end of this ep had my adrenaline soaring!!!! I think y’all are gonna dig this one— thanks so much for being here and enjoy
