My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today! Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1818 "There have been shows where I have had to get out of my own way to enjoy what I've just done." - Josh Groban Josh Groban reveals the haunting reality behind his soaring career - standing ovations that feel hollow, crushing performances followed by hour-long shame spirals where he can't speak to anyone. The Grammy-nominated artist opens up about the terrifying disconnect between external triumph and internal torment, describing how the very adrenaline that makes him brilliant on stage can leave him feeling "too wide open" to darkness afterward. At just 16, he was singing emotionally complex music for audiences who had lived experiences he hadn't, setting up a psychological pattern where success always felt borrowed, temporary, like someone might discover he didn't belong. This raw conversation cuts through the mythology of achievement to expose what happens when your biggest victories coincide with your deepest struggles. Josh's honesty about going into "low power mode" after performances, his jealousy of artists who can celebrate their wins, and his fear of being "found out" will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like a fraud in their own success story. His journey toward learning to stay present for his achievements offers hope for anyone trapped between what the world sees and what they feel inside.
