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.
