Sounds True to Self-Leadership: Andrew Pike on Mindfulness, Men's Community, and Life Transitions
Date: 2026-03-04
CJ Hammond and Jordan White host their producer, Andrew Pike, a Denver-based music producer, audio engineer, and video editor with 15 years at Sounds True, to explore the deeper story behind his work and life. Andrew shares how producing audiobooks and recording leading mindfulness and meditation teachers immersed him in spiritual wisdom that reshaped his approach to creativity, story, and service. The conversation covers his self-leadership journey through a men’s group, applying practices like The Central Question, presence, and self-compassion, and how that growth helped him navigate being laid off and stepping into a new chapter as a full-time creator. They also discuss golf as a metaphor for life – mindset, resilience, and “playing the ball where it lies” – and Andrew encourages men to find community beyond surface-level connection.
