How

Moby -- producer, animal rights activist, award-winning musician, and author -- reveals how he was unexpectedly catapulted into fame, the self-destruction that ensued, the lessons learned along the way, and how he evolved beyond the excesses of his own success to enjoy its rewards and make the world a better place on his own terms.

Many of us dream about what life would be like with the trappings of fame and fortune at our disposal, never imagining how too much of these good things could conspire to make us miserable. But Then It Fell Apart author, award-winning musician, and Herman Melville's great-great-great-grandnephew Moby testifies that the excesses of success can be deceptively unrewarding.
On this episode, Moby joins us to share his own experience as a latchkey kid on food stamps in the nation's wealthiest town, his runaway climb to what most would consider wild success, the pros and cons of becoming a household name with enough money to buy a medium-sized country, and how he evolved and learned to succeed on his own terms.
What We Discuss with Moby:
🐳 How Moby's illustrious heritage made it imperative for him to write his own memoirs instead of passing the job off to a ghostwriter.
🐳 Why, in his early fifties, Moby has not one but two memoirs under his belt.
🐳 What it was like to grow up as a latchkey kid, impoverished and on food stamps, in the wealthiest city in the United States.
🐳 Why Moby "was so happy" during the time he lived in an abandoned factory on the crack-infested side of Stamford, Connecticut.
🐳 How Moby felt at the realization that he was making more for an hour-long performance than his New York City executive grandfather had made in a year.
🐳 And much more...

Moby is an incredible talent with intelligence, morality and ethics - a rare combination. He is an ambassador from the bright future, if such could potentially exist

[@imbolc8024]

💯❣

[@cherylbendle6645]

He's super down to earth listening too, another great conversationalist 😊❤

Hi Moby, I just saw your interview with Jordan Harbinger the other day and felt the urge to wright you a letter. Why? Well, I am not a fan of your music, nor do I stalk stars. In fact I was never interested in you particularly, because I don´t like techno and I rather wondered why you are so successful. After watching the video my view changed. You said so many things, I really can relate to. Your journey from beeing a narcissistic celebrity to a humble and generous minimalist is astounding. I admire how you dedicate your life to the vegan cause and try to live in the service of humanity. The way you describe your struggle with becoming a better person, your openess, vulnerability, honesty and intelligence? All that is heartmelting. The metaphor of the carpet, that tends to roll up, is brillant. So thank you for sharing your thoughts on why money and fame is a mirage, people shouldn´t chase and worship. You talked about your plan b to give philosophy lectures at a community college. Would you still consider doing this, Moby? Isn´t this, what it´s all about? Talking about the meaning and purpose of life, while teaching others to have less bad impact on themselves and the environment? I am an unglamorous art teacher, who has never been drunk in life. Nevertheless I would love to discuss and talk with you about this stuff… Warmest greetings from Tanya (Wiesbaden/Germany)

[@amycurry3449]

Moby you had an interesting life..i love this interview.went from hanging with drug addicts in a warehouse and bars to making his way to richer famous drug addicts. Soul searching and found 10 years of sobriety..that to me was your biggest accomplishment..proud of you..

[@JordanHarbingerShow]

Moby's book is super interesting too. Highly recommend it.

[@mikethepsych2084]

When you're a kid, every little thing that happens feels like a big deal. Think about when you got a new toy, you felt so much happier the next few days until you got sick of the toy. I feel like adults get sick of things a lot faster.

[@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535]

Thank you, Moby for being a voice for the hundreds of millions of animals exploited, tortured and murdered daily and the almost completely destroyed earth all thanks to non-vegans. This is a miserable world thanks to non-vegans. 💔

[@DJSTOEK]

Thank you

[@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535]

Ironic that you are related to Herman Melville who made his name from writing a (long, tedious) novel about the pursuit of a helpless whale to murder him (his interpretation of the hero's journey) when you are an animal activist, the antithesis of Melville's philosophy. My great, great grandfather was a white man (the only people who could own land), also the largest land owner (robber) of land in California at one time with billions of cattle (exploited, murdered animals) and I'm a very involved animal activist. 💔

[@Vaninasanta]

I think that you understood the book wrong... it has nothing to do with the whale, but with the obsession. You can replace the whale with anything: money, fame, prestige, sex, etc. to get to the point.

[@wandarask8444]

If you read his book he choose to live in a old building. His first book was a waste of money

[@wandarask8444]

I purchased Mobys first book and it was cheap, shaming, and foul it was a waste of money. Maybe this book might be different. Maybe .

[@gillesgagnon]

I thought Moby had large neck and arm tattoos? Does anyone know what happened?

[@pattidowning5912]

WE ALL HAVE OUR CRAP! Regardless of wealth!

[@brainsareus]

Moby played Congas, not Bongos in the Doc.

[@rock-a-dayjonny7446]

Wow that's me except I got kicked out of the community college because the blues is not "legitimate" music but didn't make it LOL Maybe I'n moby in a parallel universe because I have all of my hair at least And I get laid too: so money isn't everything....

[@rock-a-dayjonny7446]

I think I'm you in a parallel universe because I grew up having to feel gigantic shoes just like your name is Moby and your name after gigantic book. Imagine being a math student and your dad was a supervisor engineer designer at NASA I skip college and ran off and got high and watched song remains the same and became a musician instead But I did finish my university studies so that I could teach at that community college

[@psyx7303]

Wow ,, sounds like my BLOOD
