Episode Summary:

Christopher Gonda sits down with MISSIO’s Matthew Brue and David Butler for a deeply honest conversation about authenticity, mental health, addiction, heartbreak, friendship, and what it really means to build a lasting career in music. The duo reflect on their journey from writing songs simply because they had to create, to navigating major labels, independence, millions of streams, and finding purpose beyond success. Together, they explore how suffering can become a catalyst for growth, why gratitude and ego-free collaboration have kept MISSIO together for over a decade, and how embracing life’s darkest moments has shaped both their music and their lives.
