Sia — The Alchemy of Blockbuster Songs, Billions of Views, and the Face You’ve Never Seen | Brought to you by Athletic Greens, LinkedIn Jobs, and Thrive Market.“I don’t think that I’m necessarily like a super-talented songwriter. I think I’m just really productive. One out of 10 songs is a hit. So where a lot of people will spend three weeks on one song, I will write 10 in three weeks.” — SiaSia (@sia) is an Australian singer, songwriter, director, screenwriter, and pop icon. Her current single, Together, is from her forthcoming album and motion picture, Music, due out later this year. In 2019, Sia partnered with Diplo and Labrinth to form the group LSD.

She released the Grammy-nominated This Is Acting (Monkey Puzzle/RCA Records) in 2016 to much critical acclaim and cemented her role as one of today’s biggest stars and sought-after live performers with her sold-out Nostalgic for the Present headline tour.Sia has more videos in YouTube’s Billion Views Club than any other female on the planet. Her massive single Cheap Thrills was a multi-format global radio hit and one of the longest-running singles in the Top 40 in 2016.

The speaker describes their experience receiving five intravenous ketamine infusions over two weeks, not to treat suicidal ideation, but to personally experience the effects and side effects at different dosages to potentially recommend it to others. They were surprised to have a positive experience and did not have a "bad trip" as they initially feared.
In this podcast, the speaker discusses the impact of upbringing on adult attachment styles. Those who were left to cry it out without reassurance during the intermittent crying phase as infants may develop a fearful-avoidant attachment style in adulthood, leading to unpredictable behavior in personal relationships.
In this episode, the speaker talks about the significance of expression and eye contact while parenting a child. Lack of animation and expression could lead to fear in children, and the speaker also touches upon dissociative identity disorder.

The songwriting process involves chords, melody, and lyrics, each worth 50% of the publishing rights, while production involves creating and adding sounds to the song. The best way to make money in the music industry is to write the music, and publishing is the only growth industry in music.
Sia talks about how she fell in love with Maddie Ziegler as a person and as an artist and chose to make her the focus of her work instead of working with other people, including celebrities. Sia also reveals her childhood obsession of mimicking artists until she thought she sounded like them.
