David Senra(@davidsenra):Rick Rubin describes his daily struggle: “There is a part of me that doesn't want to show up for anything and I have to overcome that every day.” “I'm lazy. It's a real part of it. I'm telling you an honest piece of this which is every day it's not like "Let's go!” Every day it's like "Oh no. I've got to go work.”
