In this episode of the mindful man project i speak to Mike Snell

Mike kick started his Musical Theatre career alongside Hugh Jackman in the Australian Arena production of, The Boy From Oz. A succession of musicals followed, including Miss Saigon, Wicked, Hairspray, We Will Rock You and Legally Blonde where he earned himself a Helpmann Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as, Kyle the UPS Delivery Guy. 

Mike then went onto work with one of his favourite directors, Baz Luhrmann on the Australian production of, Strictly Ballroom. 

In 2017 Mike scored the hattrick with The Production Company performing in Hello, Dolly (Rudolf), Jesus Christ Superstar (Simon of Zealots) and Brigadoon (Sword Dancer). He is fresh off the stage from Disney’s Aladdin.

In the background Mike has studied Yoga for the past 18 years and recently travelled to Rishikesh, India and completed his 200hrYTT & meditation TT.

We talk about his journey to stage performances. Growing up suppressing emotions and how he is now putting in the work to unravel his earlier childhood learned behaviours. We discuss his sexuality and how it has effected him in his life but also how it has formed him to the person he is today.
