Episode #300 with Michael Paynter
Tue Feb 03 2026
The 300th episode is here!
Dan is joined by the incredibly talented singer, songwriter, and musician, Michael Paynter!
We chat about the busy year he has had, multitasking, the Great Australian Songbook tour, taking risks, the profile lift of Jesus Christ Superstar, the naivety going into music theatre, leading a company, the viral video moment of Jesus Christ Superstar, planning and organization, being a failed lawyer, getting a record deal at a young age, having a passion and following it, finding the balance, meeting and performing with Jimmy Barnes, not taking anything for granted, staying in the moment, having a good instinct of what's good, being a man of faith, getting lost in moments, when he's at his worst, working with Reuben Kaye, the connections he made on JCS, compartmentalizing his energy, giving yourself grace, being a bit better than yesterday, being confident with the gifts you share with the world, bringing your best, a bicep injury, giving it everything, and a whole lot more!
