In 2022, I posted an episode (Season 4, Episode 50) about a $50K theft I experienced.

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 EpisodeSeason 5, Episode 22 - Update #2Season 5, Episode 43 - Update #3 My Patreon Shop is live!

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.

S6 Ep 13Is Artistry Worth It?

I had a "triple event" weekend which was both a sobering reminder and an encouragement to pursuing artistry. When I was starting out in this industry, my whole sales process and value proposition was wrapped into what I could do "at" their event. The problem with that is you can't guarantee a lot of those things because so much of it is out of your control. A few years ago I shifted to selling the things I could control. While that may add a few more layers to my process (that I actually do enjoy), there still is the "day of event" pay-off that you hope for as a creative. What happens when the pay-off doesn't occur? I cover that and more in this episode. My Patreon Shop is live! Grab documents and music listings a la carte. I'm on YOUTUBE!  Please subscribe and share.

S6 Ep 9INTERVIEW: Joe Bunn - How To Save Your 2024 and Build For 2025

In talking with DJs weekly, I get the sense we're headed for a similar 2023 where a decent amount of DJs aren't having the year in 2024 that they had hoped for as it pertains to both bookings and revenue. In the same breath, they are hopeful based on inquiries for the upcoming year (2025). I've always been a realist rather than a glass half full/glass half empty type person. The reality is that we still have 3/4 of the year to go. If things aren't hitting, don't pack it in. In this interview with my good friend and DJ industry educator, Joe Bunn, we talk through what can be done to not only save 2024 but also plant seeds for 2025. My Patreon Shop is live!

S6 Ep 8Is Scaling The Only Path To Happiness?

I was targeted with a Facebook or Instagram ad by a business coach in the event industry space who made the claim that scaling your business was the only way to achieve true happiness. Having run various types of DJ businesses - from a large scale multi-op to a boutique agency to a single-op, I can emphatically tell you it's not the "only" way. In this episode, I give DJ business owners a couple things to consider in this area. My Patreon Shop is live!

S6 Ep 6Are You Really Triggered By The Knot's Do Not Play List?

I had a completely different direction I was going on the podcast this week and then the Knot's Do No Play List article (from January 2024) made the rounds on social media. As usual with these things, it conjured up a lot of emotion within the DJ community and boy did we see a few folks get triggered. I'm frankly at a loss as to why. What an opportunity you have to show yourself as the expert to your client. In this episode, I give you my thoughts on this. My Patreon Shop is live!

S6 Ep 46 Time Efficiency Tips For DJs

Being a mobile DJ owner is not for the faint of heart. Since running my own business, I've never found a time where I was like, "I'm bored." It doesn't matter if you're a single-op or a multi-op owner; you will always have a never ending list of things to do. That being said, we should never be beholden to our job. It should be a means to an end. Over the years, there's 6 things I've incorporated into my workflow to help me stay efficient with my time. Time is the one thing we can NEVER get back. Once it's gone, it's gone. In sharing these tips, my hope is that you can find at least one of them useful and that it can give you a sense of feeling like you are in control of your responsiblities instead of time and tasks controlling you.
