TRB Ep. 4 | War-Child’s Miracle: From Iraq to Rockstar – Strumming Metallica’s Guitar | Mozart

The Tribe Season 1 Episode 4

In this powerful episode of The Running Bear Podcast, we sit down with professional guitarist Mozart, a musician whose life defies all odds. From fleeing war-torn Iraq as a child to becoming a sponsored athlete by Red Bull, a world-touring rockstar, and even holding the very guitar gifted by Metallica’s James Hetfield—Mozart's journey is a testament to resilience, manifestation, and the universal language of music.

✨ In This Episode:
War as a disruptor of rhythm — How trauma rewires the body (and how to rewire it back)
Music as nervous system medicine — Why sound heals deeper than words
The refugee’s paradox — Displacement as both wound and superpower
From Metallica to medical aromatherapy — How Mo’s father’s healing legacy shaped his path
Laughter as medicine— How humor becomes survival in the darkest times

If you’ve ever felt "out of sync" with peace, belonging, or purpose—this conversation is your tuning fork.
