Later in the discussion, Shamir explains how he copes on a daily basis by surrounding himself with the utmost supportive people.</p> <p>Presented by <em>Consequence of Sound </em>and Sound Mind Live, <em>Going There</em> is a new interview podcast series in which clinical psychologist and life coach Dr. Mike Friedman talks with musicians about the crossroads where music and mental health meet.</p>
