Justin Boreta is a founding member of the influential and iconic electronic group, The Glitch Mob.

Justin began his journey in meditation with TM, and from there became deeply interested in vipassana, or insight meditation. Justin discusses the importance of authenticity, and how learning to tell your own story is essential for a successful music career. He shares the wonders of the transformative moments found in silence, and how to restructure one’s relationship with pain.
