  • A listener requested episode based on an interview I did with Drew Pierce recently. How do you rotate your banger tracks? Songs that are massive, songs that were massive, etc. I give a few different strategies that have worked for me. As the analogy goes, there's many ways to skin a cat.

  • Like maintenance on your car, it's better to be proactive and regular in doing check-ups on your body and your business to address changes or fixes that need to be made instead of waiting until you find a huge issue. In some cases, that can be too late and cost you a fortune to resolve. In today's episode, I cover 2 health and wellness areas and 1 area of your business that you should include in these regular check-ups.

  • In 2022, I posted an episode (Season 4, Episode 50) about a $50K theft I experienced. I had some progress on that front and shared update #2 (Season 5, Episode 22) in May 2023 and then update #3 (Season 5, Episode 43) in December 2023 (more than 20 months after the theft occurred). Now, over 2 years later, I believe we've come to the end of the road on this situation and I don't think anyone (myself included) could have predicted its conclusion.

    Episode Call Backs:

    Season 4, Episode 50 - Initial Episode

    Season 5, Episode 22 - Update #2

    Season 5, Episode 43 - Update #3

  • This is another useful episode (IMHO) about dealing with DJ frustrations at events. I share two of them that seem to rattle a bunch of DJs (myself included) - placement in the room and sound ordinances. What happens if you find yourself in one of these situations at an event? How do you do your best to avoid these issues ahead of the event? We discuss those things on this episode.

  • Our job as a DJ is all about the "fun"...until life lands you a severe hit (that eventually happens to all of us in one way or another) which leads to a reality check in keeping things in perspective. I I had the privilege of sitting down and talking with Chris Atwood, a stroke survivor, a DJ himself with the SCE Event Group and genuinely just a good dude. He talks through his life before the stroke, during and where things stand now. Shoutouts to Mike Walter and Jason Jani who get their flowers from Chris on this episode as well.
