Mike and his businesses are going through big changes. Sometimes it takes a major setback to spark major growth. Updates on Stevenson Ranch, Only Steves, the new album, and a new business venture.

Pay attention! That is Mike's advice on today's episode for being a more grateful and thoughtful person. He and Kilmer discuss Mike's next steps in music, the creative process, and (you guessed it) The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success.

Mike opens up about the recent controversy within his camp.

He's an ace for the Chicago Cubs. He's a humanitarian. He's a role model. He's an entrepreneur. He's a physical specimen. Our good friend, Marcus Stroman joins the YNK Podcast for the third time.

For the second time on YNK, Mike sits down with Milwaukee Brewer's outfielder Christian Yelich.

Charlie “Rocket” Jabaley is a former music manager, Grammy Award Winner, Iron Man Athlete brain tumor survivor and philanthropist.

Mike and the boys are in the mountains of Idaho. Jon is settling into his new home in Nashville. The two connect for their first ever remote episode and catch up on life. They also make a big announcement about the future of the YNK Podcast and Only Steves.

For the first time ever, Mike does a podcast by himself in the deep woods of Montana.

Co-host of the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Will Compton, joins us for the second time, as he and Mike meet up in Nashville and have one of the most meaningful conversations we've ever heard on this show.

The boys just wrapped up leg 2 of the five week long Not My First Rodeo Tour. Mike and Jon chat on stage of the Truman in Kansas City and discuss their longest tour run in over 3 years, the importance of their nomadic lifestyle, and what it means to be a man.

From their rehearsal space in Nashville, Mike and Jon prepare for leg 2 of the Not My First Rodeo Tour, spanning 18 shows across the US and Canada. The guys discuss the evolution of their businesses, the relationship with their families, and how their views on relationships with women have changed over the years.

The first step to achieving anything, is first becoming self aware of what you want. Then, slowly and incrementally... you close the gap. For Mike, he describes how he did this with his music. In his mind, he knew what sound he wanted for 'the highs', however it was not an immediate result. Over the course of several years, he closed the gap more and more until the sound was achieved, as he heard it in his mind.

Today we're joined by Hardy, one of the best singer/songwriters out of Nashville. Don't believe us? Well, he just got his 11th #1 song on the country charts. And we were lucky enough to have him on the show right before the gang set out for leg 1 of the Not My First Rodeo Tour. It was only fitting that we conducted the interview in a wellness clinic.

Mike and Jon recap the Not My First Rodeo Tour: discussing their biggest headlining shows to date, getting their tour bus rammed by an 18-wheeler, and approaching the road with a whole different mindset. Then they reflect on the origin of the YNK Podcast and the importance it's had on the fan base, and their own lives.

In part two of our interview with Chase, the guys talk more about their music endeavors, Chase's appearances on Survivor and The Bachelor, and past female relationships. As one of the few musical guests on YNK, this shapes up to be an amazing conversation between two rising legends.

We're joined by country legend Chase Rice, who caught up with us in Scottsdale Arizona while touring with Kane Brown. You may know him for his hit song "Eyes on You" or for writing "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line. He and Mike sat down for two and half hours and talked about their similar tenure in the music industry, their collegiate sports background, and what's next for Chase. The second half of this interview will air next episode.

Breaking down James Clear's book 'Atomic Habits', the guys discuss the science behind effective (and non-effective) habits. Mike is having less sex. Kilmer doesn't think he can control himself after taking a viagra. It's a new edition of Steve's Book Club and we're fired up. 

Returning for the third time, Max Homa visits the guys at the Arizona Ranch just days before the Waste Management Open. They discuss golf, the stigma of athletes having fun in their personal lives, and having sex in smelly places.

Meet our good friend, and opener for the Not My First Rodeo Tour, Skeez. We were lucky to meet this guy during our final days in Los Angeles and now he'll be joining us for our first tour in three years. He loves a stiff cocktail. He loves people. And he's the self proclaimed best athlete under 5' 7".

Logan Allen is a rising star in Major League Baseball, currently pitching for The Cleveland Guardians. The conversation quickly steers into the direction of mindset and spirituality (shocking, I know) as Logan brings us a new book for Steve's Book Club and talks about the perspective shift he's had throughout his life.

In today's episode, we learn the importance of spending time with yourself. With all the distractions today, it seems like a harder and harder task to achieve. Mike breaks down the upcoming "Not My First Rodeo Tour" and the guys discuss their plans for having kids one day.

In this week's episode, Mike answers a fan's question about finding your passion and discipline. Secondly, the guys get a call from YNK's only female listener and to end it, they discuss the pros and cons of Spotify from a musicians point of view.

Christian Kirk is a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, and is an integral part of their success this year. He talks about getting his first college offer Freshman year of high school, his time at Texas A&M, and Kilmer reminds us about the time he kidnapped a girl one time on tour back in 2014 (allegedly).

Tyler Wade is a utility player for the New York Yankees. In 2019 alone he played second base, third base, shortstop, left field, and right field. The guys not only discuss what it's like playing for the Yankees, but also dive into the night everyone met at Mike's 2019 concert in Tampa.

Mike chronicles his last month where he contracted COVID, beat it, then went on a 5 day bender for the ages. The guys also breakdown the real reason why they drink so much.

For the first time ever, Mike is a guest on his own podcast. Interviewed by the reputable yet embarrassing Jon Kilmer, Mike takes you through his entire career as a musician. He also discusses his mindset transformation over the years, going from college star athlete to creative superstar.

Dr. Steve returns, as Mike and Jon call fans late night and discuss their relationship problems. 

The first half, Mike and Jon discuss the ins-and-outs of the music business, and how the playing field is changing for all creators. After, a fan sends in a question regarding self esteem. If we look in the mirror, do we like the person staring back at us?

This week, fans call in with relationship questions. Dr. Steve helps them navigate through break ups, love triangles, and whatever else life has to throw at us.

In this episode, fans send in their questions about Mike's new album 'the highs."

Will Compton is an NFL linebacker and co-host of the popular sports podcast Bussin' With The Boys with NFL offensive lineman Taylor Lewan. Compton and Lewan were some of the first professional athletes to start a podcast while still playing their respective sport. Compton tells Mike about his upbringing and about his motivations for getting into the podcasting industry. With Compton being a pro athlete himself, Bussin' With The Boys provides a level of conversation other athletes normally don't have in other interviews. Mike says that's why guests are more likely to open up and be more comfortable. Mike and Compton also talk about the positives and the negatives amongst the changing scenery of pro sports in America. If there's one takeaway from this episode, it's that Will Compton is one damn good Swiss Army Knife of an individual. You know LiquidIV is THE go-to hydration multiplier.
