About this listen

How do you expand the power of your mind? How do you find your purpose? How can you change your life - and the world? In his new podcast, The Mind Power Mixtape, Oscar, Emmy and Grammy-winning rapper Common conducts a series of illuminating and exciting conversations with an amazing group of artists, to explore the secrets of life, love, art and faith.

Each conversation takes us on an intimate journey to discover how each member of this incredible group developed their way of thinking, how they use that power in their life and how they employ it to serve other people. Common’s guests include Oscar-winning actor Mahershala Ali, barrier-breaking ballerina Misty Copeland, comic Hasan Minhaj, activist-lawyer Bryan Stevenson, actress-comedian Tiffany Haddish, and legendary rapper Nas.

This is excellent one of the best podcasts on Audible. It's a run of interviews of people who have used their minds in incredibly successful and inspiring ways, to beat the odds and create something true, be it legal help for those who need it the most, stand up comedy, dance and more. They are interviewed by American rapper, actor, and writer Common, who draws great responses out of them. This is powerfully about voices in the black community, but it is for everyone, at heart it is about what connects us all. I haven't heard matters of faith, justice, and the heart talked about in such an authentic way for a long time. I am praying for another season of this. Just brilliant

He begins with a freestyle introduction to the artist, and ends with a chosen hip-hop verse that sums up that artist. In between, he allows the inspirational light of the artist shine.

Truly inspiring

What a fabulous collection of conversations. it was like going to church listening to Common and his guests delving deep. I loved the cool old school swagger vibe with the music and the lyrical way Common interacted with his guests. This was truly a mental and spiritual feast! Thank you Common and Audible.

Absolutely Fantastic !
