9
00:00:43,270 –> 00:00:46,720
let’s get started by giving our audience
a brief background of yourself
10
00:00:47,290 –> 00:00:52,600
sure well I’m 30 years old and I live at
home with my wonderful family my
11
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:57,460
girlfriend Stacy and my step daughter
Lillian who’s about to turn 7 by trade
12
00:00:57,460 –> 00:01:03,940
I’m a systems administrator and by
passion I’m a DJ / producer and I guess
13
00:01:03,940 –> 00:01:08,140
serial entrepreneur i have work from
home I still you know work the day job
14
00:01:08,140 –> 00:01:14,740
and my my eventual goal is to quit the
day job and to be you know but pursuing
15
00:01:14,740 –> 00:01:19,240
my own passions full time I run away
like you said passionate DJ dot-com
16
00:01:19,240 –> 00:01:24,369
which is a blog and podcast about
becoming a better DJ through passion and
17
00:01:24,370 –> 00:01:29,650
purpose i also am working on couple
other business ideas
18
00:01:30,490 –> 00:01:35,770
Stacy and I are working on a amazon
reseller business working on some
19
00:01:35,770 –> 00:01:40,660
software geared towards managing animal
rescues and then of course just my my
20
00:01:40,660 –> 00:01:45,729
own djing and an event promotion so I’ve
got my hands and all kinds of little
21
00:01:45,730 –> 00:01:50,890
baskets and and tried trying to do
probably too much at once but I think
22
00:01:50,890 –> 00:01:54,970
that’s for me that’s what it’s all about
is i just i like i like the climb and I
23
00:01:54,970 –> 00:01:59,500
like pursuing my my passions and dreams
and and trying to get where I’m going I
24
00:01:59,500 –> 00:02:03,520
grew up here in Dayton Ohio to two
wonderful parents who are still together
25
00:02:03,520 –> 00:02:09,519
there on the oldest of six siblings so
we had grew up in a pretty full house
26
00:02:09,519 –> 00:02:13,599
outside of that event promotion
marketing there are some of my interests
27
00:02:13,599 –> 00:02:18,190
my mom into cars I’ve got the Trans Am
2000 trains and that i think are on
28
00:02:18,190 –> 00:02:21,280
little bit of video gaming and anything
technology
29
00:02:21,280 –> 00:02:26,170
those are all the things i’m i’m pretty
much stoked about well what-what exactly
30
00:02:26,170 –> 00:02:30,69
inspires you to be a 12 pretty one
31
00:02:30,69 –> 00:02:34,369
sir preneur as i said that right yeah
yeah
32
00:02:34,370 –> 00:02:39,560
I’ve always wanted I’ve always kind of
had that drive 22 want to run my own
33
00:02:39,560 –> 00:02:45,560
business or or project of some sort it
started back when I was in high school
34
00:02:45,560 –> 00:02:49,370
a buddy of mine and I actually the guy
who’s working on the animal rescue
35
00:02:49,370 –> 00:02:50,720
project with me
36
00:02:50,720 –> 00:02:56,299
we started a local automotive community
type website before Facebook and MySpace
37
00:02:56,299 –> 00:03:02,540
and social media took off we’d built up
a reasonably well visited forum and did
38
00:03:02,540 –> 00:03:07,280
events like crusens and and things like
that and I think that’s probably what
39
00:03:07,280 –> 00:03:10,879
really got me hooked on it because I
enjoyed you know even though it wasn’t
40
00:03:10,879 –> 00:03:15,108
anything that was my bread-and-butter
that was depending on my enjoyed kind of
41
00:03:15,109 –> 00:03:18,950
putting these systems in place and
managing the whole you know the small
42
00:03:18,950 –> 00:03:24,78
Empire i guess and it was it was one of
those things where I came to the
43
00:03:24,79 –> 00:03:29,239
realization that people were or
benefiting from the value I could
44
00:03:29,239 –> 00:03:34,129
provide them rather than necessarily the
time i spent working on something as
45
00:03:34,129 –> 00:03:38,510
with a day job and that is what kind of
got me thinking about you know i would
46
00:03:38,510 –> 00:03:42,560
rather get paid for my value instead of
my time so how can i make that happen
47
00:03:42,560 –> 00:03:46,190
so that’s kind of how it is has guided
me this way well that that kind of
48
00:03:46,190 –> 00:03:50,750
answers the question how did your dream
come about but let’s let specifically go
49
00:03:50,750 –> 00:03:55,129
into djing and then how passionate DJ
came about
50
00:03:55,760 –> 00:04:00,349
sure well obviously it starts with the
music I mean meet music is is my therapy
51
00:04:00,349 –> 00:04:05,149
it’s it’s what keeps me saying when I’m
you know trying to do way too many
52
00:04:05,150 –> 00:04:09,139
things that wants its it’s not my reason
for living but it’s damn high up on the
53
00:04:09,139 –> 00:04:15,560
list i mean i’m at i was born into a
musical family might father sings and
54
00:04:15,560 –> 00:04:20,810
plays tenor sax and you know both my
parents were in the church choir growing
55
00:04:20,810 –> 00:04:25,220
up and so I would sit in on their
practices and I would hear them do you
56
00:04:25,220 –> 00:04:28,699
know they would sing alto part then they
were singing soprano part in the tenor
57
00:04:28,699 –> 00:04:32,449
part and I started putting all these
pieces together it as far as how that
58
00:04:32,449 –> 00:04:37,190
all worked and ended up taking piano
lessons and that led to me doing
59
00:04:37,190 –> 00:04:41,660
producing which led to djing which led
to me wanting to tell others about it so
60
00:04:41,660 –> 00:04:47,719
I i decided that i wanted to kind of a
perfect storm of me wanting to try
61
00:04:47,719 –> 00:04:53,479
things to get to have new pursuits and
and I wanted to break away from the
62
00:04:53,479 –> 00:04:58,669
routine i wanted to do something new and
I wanted to find ways that I could gain
63
00:04:58,669 –> 00:05:04,520
independence financially and it just as
far as my time goes and so passionate DJ
64
00:05:04,520 –> 00:05:09,49
came about as a kind of an experiment
the beginning of last year basically
65
00:05:09,50 –> 00:05:13,760
what happened was the the actual phrase
that I said was I want to make my
66
00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:19,340
thirties awesome and I turned 30 and sep
tember last year so that was kind of
67
00:05:19,340 –> 00:05:20,330
where it started
68
00:05:20,330 –> 00:05:24,919
so I’m like okay what what can I do that
is going to maintain my interest long
69
00:05:24,919 –> 00:05:28,219
enough to really drive something home
because i hadn’t taken on a big project
70
00:05:28,219 –> 00:05:33,110
like this in a long time and so I
basically did a kind of mind map
71
00:05:33,110 –> 00:05:37,700
exercise where I wrote out like seven of
my i think it was seven fears seven
72
00:05:37,700 –> 00:05:41,990
passions and and something else i can’t
remember exactly and and the one thing
73
00:05:41,990 –> 00:05:45,409
that just kept coming back up is is
djing you know is the one thing that i
74
00:05:45,409 –> 00:05:49,400
knew that i could write about all the
time and not get tired of it and one
75
00:05:49,400 –> 00:05:53,659
thing i’m just really interested doing
and felt that I had enough valuable
76
00:05:53,659 –> 00:05:57,440
information to share with other people
so it started as an experiment you know
77
00:05:57,440 –> 00:06:00,169
can I build traffic can I build a fan
base
78
00:06:00,169 –> 00:06:04,10
can I provide value to people will they
will they pick up what I’m putting down
79
00:06:04,10 –> 00:06:09,380
basically and and it’s been working and
it’s kind of it turns out I’m a pretty
80
00:06:09,380 –> 00:06:13,190
decent writer which I kind of knew but I
never really had applied to anything
81
00:06:13,190 –> 00:06:18,200
before I’d never had writing as an
interest until I decided to write about
82
00:06:18,200 –> 00:06:22,219
something I was interested about and
it’s kind of taken off from there helps
83
00:06:22,219 –> 00:06:26,450
when you have people that really believe
in you and you know how I found out
84
00:06:26,450 –> 00:06:30,979
about your site was through DJ z-trip
retweeting an article that you did about
85
00:06:30,979 –> 00:06:36,139
beat-matching yeah I was probably to ten
reasons why you should still learn how
86
00:06:36,139 –> 00:06:37,250
to be matched by ear
87
00:06:37,250 –> 00:06:40,700
something like that should be pretty
self-explanatory is this to a skill
88
00:06:40,700 –> 00:06:48,710
that’s the very basis of djing outside
of the song selection right yeah it was
89
00:06:48,710 –> 00:06:52,460
super cool that that particular post
went viral and and brought a lot of
90
00:06:52,460 –> 00:06:55,729
attention to the site which was a big
confidence booster for me it was my
91
00:06:55,729 –> 00:07:00,630
first kind of experience with more
people seeing what I had written
92
00:07:00,630 –> 00:07:05,280
then you know people that I had directly
guided to the site or had seen it
93
00:07:05,280 –> 00:07:08,880
through friends or friends of friends
kind of thing it was suddenly I had this
94
00:07:08,880 –> 00:07:13,50
influx of traffic with which is a little
makes you feel a little vulnerable to
95
00:07:13,50 –> 00:07:15,90
but I’m sure what we’ll talk about that
later
96
00:07:15,90 –> 00:07:21,659
well how did your your your family and
your friends received you know the first
97
00:07:21,660 –> 00:07:25,650
the djing and then later when you’re
like hey I’m gonna do this website and i
98
00:07:25,650 –> 00:07:29,669
am doing this website and oh man all
these people are coming to my study all
99
00:07:29,670 –> 00:07:32,790
the time because of this one article i’m
sure you were jumping up and down
100
00:07:33,900 –> 00:07:39,000
yeah he’s out it was received by the
head by those that are closest to you
101
00:07:39,000 –> 00:07:43,260
so is as far as family goes they’ve
always been really supportive i have
102
00:07:43,260 –> 00:07:48,810
very supportive family as far as they
don’t hold necessarily know what it is
103
00:07:48,810 –> 00:07:53,10
that I’m doing but I haven’t dealt with
a whole lot of the criticism as far as
104
00:07:53,10 –> 00:07:55,950
what why are you wasting your time on
this or that my girlfriend Stacy
105
00:07:55,950 –> 00:08:00,719
particularly has been incredibly
supportive she realizes that you know
106
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:05,400
because I’m trying to do all of these
other projects and and do all this
107
00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:08,880
writing and this this time that requires
creative energy
108
00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:12,659
she’s really been supportive through the
whole thing and an understanding and I
109
00:08:12,660 –> 00:08:16,860
think that it’s actually inspired her to
to make some moose towards her own
110
00:08:16,860 –> 00:08:20,790
dreams which is pretty cool as far as
friends go been kind of a mixed bag
111
00:08:20,790 –> 00:08:22,410
mostly supportive
112
00:08:22,410 –> 00:08:27,540
the funny thing is the the most
negativity that you seem to get when it
113
00:08:27,540 –> 00:08:33,120
comes to friends are from the people
that are closest to you and it’s they
114
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:37,950
don’t mean to do it it i think maybe
it’s just those are the people that you
115
00:08:37,950 –> 00:08:43,169
have maybe the most honesty you know
with like I had one particular friend
116
00:08:43,169 –> 00:08:47,579
who was kinda like why why are you
trying to do this full time are you
117
00:08:47,580 –> 00:08:52,80
trying to be a writer in a DJ and and
all the stuff when you have a good job
118
00:08:52,80 –> 00:08:56,100
that’s paying your bills you’ve got a
nice house you know you
119
00:08:56,100 –> 00:08:59,850
everything’s going fine for you and and
i had to be very clear you know it’s
120
00:08:59,850 –> 00:09:04,890
it’s not that my my job is treated me
poorly it’s that I’ve been doing I’ve
121
00:09:04,890 –> 00:09:09,870
been working this job for 13 years which
for a thirty-year-old is a long time i
122
00:09:09,870 –> 00:09:12,630
mean i’ve been doing this since I was in
high school and I’m
123
00:09:12,630 –> 00:09:17,130
I’m ready to change it up and I want to
do that in such a way that I’m you know
124
00:09:17,130 –> 00:09:22,320
every day im doing something that I want
to do and i feel like i could spend a
125
00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:26,160
lot of time on on something like that if
it’s something I love doing
126
00:09:26,700 –> 00:09:29,730
suddenly it doesn’t feel so impressive
if you love doing it anyway you know
127
00:09:29,730 –> 00:09:34,20
what I mean very much so you know they
some of them don’t really understand
128
00:09:34,20 –> 00:09:40,920
that but the ones that have that kind of
same entrepreneurial Drive or it just
129
00:09:40,920 –> 00:09:45,000
drive in general particularly motivated
people tend to understand more than
130
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:49,590
people who are kind of stagnant in their
own situation which is kind of revealing
131
00:09:49,590 –> 00:09:53,430
and you can’t to eat you have to take it
with a grain of salt because they’re
132
00:09:53,430 –> 00:09:57,150
they’re typically not trying to attack
you or anything they just don’t
133
00:09:57,150 –> 00:10:00,420
understand or it may be revealed
something that they don’t like about
134
00:10:00,420 –> 00:10:05,520
themselves so I don’t take any of that
personally but overall very supportive
135
00:10:05,520 –> 00:10:09,870
I i have a lot of good people in my life
so I can’t really complain that’s pretty
136
00:10:09,870 –> 00:10:14,40
invaluable to have people that believe
in you and enough to support you even
137
00:10:14,40 –> 00:10:18,150
though they don’t get it i always say
it’s to me it’s not a bell
138
00:10:18,150 –> 00:10:23,40
it’s not necessarily about money it’s
it’s not about wanting it all it’s about
139
00:10:23,40 –> 00:10:25,110
wanting to do it all
140
00:10:25,110 –> 00:10:28,560
absolutely i mean I money obviously
plays a factor
141
00:10:28,560 –> 00:10:31,709
I mean it’s already lost money man
dreams especially dreams
142
00:10:32,880 –> 00:10:36,510
yeah money is definitely important and
that plays a huge role and in my
143
00:10:36,510 –> 00:10:40,740
decision-making process but it’s what
good is money if you just collect money
144
00:10:40,740 –> 00:10:46,590
and it sits there right i mean money is
it means to an end and for me my my end
145
00:10:46,590 –> 00:10:51,120
is you know I want to be able to pursue
these these passions that are not
146
00:10:51,120 –> 00:10:54,540
necessarily may or may not be
money-making ventures but they’re just
147
00:10:54,540 –> 00:10:58,709
things that I’m interested in I want to
do that pre-dated they give value to me
148
00:10:58,710 –> 00:11:04,110
or others and you know you have to have
money to do that so it’s it it’s almost
149
00:11:04,110 –> 00:11:08,910
like I’m trying to put systems in place
to make money but in order to gain time
150
00:11:08,910 –> 00:11:13,140
it’s not really the money that I’m
trying to collect so much as its
151
00:11:13,140 –> 00:11:17,610
financial independence so that I have
kind of Independence as far as my
152
00:11:17,610 –> 00:11:21,420
scheduling and my time goes because the
time is the one resource that we do not
153
00:11:21,420 –> 00:11:23,250
have an infinite
154
00:11:23,250 –> 00:11:26,970
resource of you know I mean you can
always find a way to get more money you
155
00:11:26,970 –> 00:11:31,500
can always find a way to get more of
anything but time once times gone it’s
156
00:11:31,500 –> 00:11:36,540
gone so it’s all about getting to that
point where basically i can do what i
157
00:11:36,540 –> 00:11:40,980
want i mean in a way it’s kind of
selfish but it’s it’s not just me it’s I
158
00:11:40,980 –> 00:11:44,40
want to spend more time with my family I
want to spend more time with my music
159
00:11:44,40 –> 00:11:48,510
and I wanted you know so it all kinda it
centers around money but money is not
160
00:11:48,510 –> 00:11:50,40
the purpose for sure
161
00:11:50,40 –> 00:11:53,849
well you know I mean we both know the
tech industry is not great two people
162
00:11:53,850 –> 00:11:59,430
over the age of 50 right so so it does
make sense especially for you being in
163
00:11:59,430 –> 00:12:03,750
the tech field to to figure out
something for the next level
164
00:12:03,750 –> 00:12:08,160
even if it’s not today or tomorrow down
the road you need you’re gonna need
165
00:12:08,160 –> 00:12:13,260
something especially because I I got
really lucky when I was young in high
166
00:12:13,260 –> 00:12:18,840
school because i was going to location
of vocational school I managed to get
167
00:12:18,840 –> 00:12:22,920
kind of an internship big through the
company that I still work for today and
168
00:12:22,920 –> 00:12:27,750
impress the right person and got hired
on i have so i was i was lucky then but
169
00:12:27,750 –> 00:12:32,940
the position that puts me and now is I
have no degree i have no certifications
170
00:12:32,940 –> 00:12:38,310
I have nothing to really fall back on
other than I have 13 years of experience
171
00:12:38,310 –> 00:12:42,390
in the field and I have worked my way up
a little bit in the corporate ladder but
172
00:12:42,390 –> 00:12:46,260
you know it’s one of those things where
do I go from here
173
00:12:46,770 –> 00:12:53,400
do I want to kisses I’m sysadmin now and
it doesn’t really go much beyond that
174
00:12:53,400 –> 00:12:59,880
unless I want to get into management or
I want to specialize in something like I
175
00:12:59,880 –> 00:13:05,790
want to be a database administrator or
storage administrator and so i decided
176
00:13:05,790 –> 00:13:10,890
that i didn’t really that doesn’t really
float my boat anymore especially you
177
00:13:10,890 –> 00:13:17,430
know going down that road any further so
I’m trying to put all these other pieces
178
00:13:17,430 –> 00:13:22,290
in place so that i can do what really
what I’m passionate about and still pay
179
00:13:22,290 –> 00:13:26,310
the bills so when you got started DJing
and then when you got started with
180
00:13:26,310 –> 00:13:31,709
passionate DJ dot-com what steps did you
take to get started with both of them
181
00:13:32,459 –> 00:13:37,138
well djing itself I’ve been doing for
close to 10 years
182
00:13:37,139 –> 00:13:41,69
that you know it’s a little different
time frame than the blog which is much
183
00:13:41,69 –> 00:13:46,139
more recent but the djing thing kinda
came as a natural progression because
184
00:13:46,139 –> 00:13:52,319
you know like I said I i had already had
a lot of musical influence i’ve always
185
00:13:52,319 –> 00:13:57,748
loved music and you know I i went from
playing piano to what if i can like
186
00:13:57,749 –> 00:14:01,79
write my own songs so then i would try
to like I took a couple of small
187
00:14:01,79 –> 00:14:05,878
composing classes from my piano teacher
she was like an extra like a Saturday
188
00:14:05,879 –> 00:14:10,230
thing started learning more about that
improvisation and stuff and then I you
189
00:14:10,230 –> 00:14:16,679
know 10 15 years ago I came across i
think it was probably an early early
190
00:14:16,679 –> 00:14:20,579
version of fruity loops or something for
those who aren’t aware that’s audio
191
00:14:20,579 –> 00:14:24,839
production software and started making
beats and then started making melodies
192
00:14:24,839 –> 00:14:31,470
and started going well I can make entire
songs you know right in the box so i
193
00:14:31,470 –> 00:14:36,389
started doing that and then I started
going well how can i how can I perform
194
00:14:36,389 –> 00:14:42,59
out somewhere and and share music with
people so then it led to be seeking that
195
00:14:42,59 –> 00:14:45,839
out which led to two djing led to me
getting involved with the scene and
196
00:14:45,839 –> 00:14:50,970
trying to network and which leads to
marketing and which leads to the blog so
197
00:14:50,970 –> 00:14:56,429
it’s it was kind of a long progression
over time and I never really had a
198
00:14:56,429 –> 00:15:01,709
specific plan of attack for djing other
than I’ve got stuff inside me that I
199
00:15:01,709 –> 00:15:05,309
need to get out and I want to share it
with people and that was a way for me to
200
00:15:05,309 –> 00:15:12,89
kind of bring a performance are into the
whole thing as far as starting the blog
201
00:15:12,89 –> 00:15:19,410
there’s a lot of frustrating things
about being a DJ which i’m sure you’re
202
00:15:19,410 –> 00:15:24,689
fully aware of i mean as far as dealing
with other DJs and dealing with crowds
203
00:15:24,689 –> 00:15:31,469
and and you know with the the state that
the music industry’s and now there is a
204
00:15:31,470 –> 00:15:36,839
lot of freedom for people like me to
explore things like this which means
205
00:15:36,839 –> 00:15:41,639
that it’s you know the barriers of entry
have been lowered so what used to cost a
206
00:15:41,639 –> 00:15:46,169
lot of money to get involved with and
used to require a lot of investment and
207
00:15:46,169 –> 00:15:50,730
time and connections and things to do is
now kind of a free-for-all
208
00:15:50,730 –> 00:15:56,519
I mean you can you can get on online and
download a zillion songs and some free
209
00:15:56,519 –> 00:15:59,519
software and call yourself a DJ and
that’s all it takes
210
00:16:00,810 –> 00:16:04,199
which is fine you know I don’t really
care what people do with their free time
211
00:16:04,199 –> 00:16:09,750
that’s how all of us pretty much got
started in some form or another but what
212
00:16:09,750 –> 00:16:15,990
gets frustrating is is when people they
tend to devalue the craft or at least
213
00:16:15,990 –> 00:16:20,279
value what it is that you do or you at
least you feel that way because you’re
214
00:16:20,279 –> 00:16:24,570
like hey I put a lot of time into this
this is like I’m passionate about this I
215
00:16:24,570 –> 00:16:30,329
and I put a lot more thought into this
than just hitting shuffle on my ipod so
216
00:16:30,329 –> 00:16:34,589
and i know that there are other people
out there that feel the same way and i
217
00:16:34,589 –> 00:16:40,440
want to connect with them so that was
kind of where the the the blog started
218
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:43,649
you know is on one hand it was this
experiment you know can I build traffic
219
00:16:43,649 –> 00:16:48,750
can I build a fan base but on the other
hand it’s like I actually just want to
220
00:16:48,750 –> 00:16:53,190
find these people who are like me who
think that there’s there’s more to being
221
00:16:53,190 –> 00:16:58,949
a DJ then how good you can blend between
two songs of your choice you know so i
222
00:16:58,949 –> 00:17:04,79
started doing a lot of research both in
the blogging aspect you know how do I
223
00:17:04,79 –> 00:17:08,549
become a better writer how do i write
get headlines how do i do this and that
224
00:17:09,209 –> 00:17:12,209
luckily I had a lot of the technical
background already already knew how to
225
00:17:12,209 –> 00:17:16,140
setup a website and all that kind of
stuff so that stuff was easy for me but
226
00:17:16,140 –> 00:17:23,220
the hard part is giving yourself
permission to do it in a way it’s kind
227
00:17:23,220 –> 00:17:27,480
of hard to explain but you have to give
yourself permission to succeed and
228
00:17:27,480 –> 00:17:33,59
that’s something that people don’t
really consider I don’t think but is it
229
00:17:33,59 –> 00:17:37,110
becomes very real when you decide you
want to do something it you almost feel
230
00:17:37,110 –> 00:17:41,760
like Who am I to put my thoughts out
there for the world to see or Who am I
231
00:17:41,760 –> 00:17:47,460
to be standing in front of a crowd you
know playing to this 510 hundred
232
00:17:47,460 –> 00:17:51,900
thousand ten thousand people however
many it is you know what what gives me
233
00:17:51,900 –> 00:17:56,130
the right to do that and you have to get
over that I mean you don’t want to be an
234
00:17:56,130 –> 00:18:01,919
egomaniac but at the same time you know
it’s okay to share your brand of
235
00:18:01,919 –> 00:18:04,350
knowledge with the world and if people
resonate
236
00:18:04,350 –> 00:18:09,30
with that and you’re providing value to
them then more power to you
237
00:18:09,30 –> 00:18:15,539
so getting over that initial hurdle is a
kind of a big deal and its overall it
238
00:18:15,539 –> 00:18:22,530
really comes down to be giving a crap
about what what you’re writing about and
239
00:18:22,530 –> 00:18:26,520
what you’re trying to share with people
and it’s kind of funny because there’s a
240
00:18:26,520 –> 00:18:32,940
lot of parallels between djing blogging
starting a business and these are all
241
00:18:32,940 –> 00:18:38,970
things that I’m interested and each of
those you want to ask what problems are
242
00:18:38,970 –> 00:18:41,909
people having that you’re trying to
solve
243
00:18:41,909 –> 00:18:45,630
how can I help them with that you know
as far as the blog goes it’s like how
244
00:18:45,630 –> 00:18:50,730
can I treat them like a friend and not
just guessed number thirty-nine thousand
245
00:18:50,730 –> 00:18:55,770
264 I mean it’s you know I want to
actually interact with people and feel
246
00:18:55,770 –> 00:18:59,789
like I’m a friend to them and I wanted
to gain friends out of it so that was
247
00:18:59,789 –> 00:19:04,289
really what what got me started and gave
me the push that I needed was you know i
248
00:19:04,289 –> 00:19:07,80
feel like i have stuff on my chest to
get out and I feel like somebody else
249
00:19:07,80 –> 00:19:14,549
will resonate with it and if not fine
but it’s it’s hard to bare your soul to
250
00:19:14,549 –> 00:19:21,360
an audience and so you you have to
really develop a thick skin quickly and
251
00:19:21,360 –> 00:19:25,860
that was something that I that was
really thrown in my face with that that
252
00:19:25,860 –> 00:19:30,418
viral post that actually the beat
matching post that introduced us because
253
00:19:30,419 –> 00:19:34,80
there were a lot of people that you know
right now that post has I don’t know
254
00:19:34,80 –> 00:19:36,570
it’s coming up on 200 comments or
something like that
255
00:19:36,570 –> 00:19:41,129
there-there was just as many actually
they’re the most comments are well this
256
00:19:41,130 –> 00:19:44,520
article spot on this is great thank you
for writing this I’ve been saying this
257
00:19:44,520 –> 00:19:50,250
for years . about but then there’s like
that ten or twenty percent that are like
258
00:19:50,250 –> 00:19:56,880
well if you don’t do such-and-such
you’re not a real DJ or you know get off
259
00:19:56,880 –> 00:20:01,350
your high horse and blah blah blah and
it’s one of those things like people
260
00:20:01,350 –> 00:20:06,689
obviously didn’t either didn’t read the
article to completion or I didn’t
261
00:20:06,690 –> 00:20:11,850
explain something properly and probably
the truth always something and something
262
00:20:11,850 –> 00:20:12,389
in the middle
263
00:20:12,390 –> 00:20:14,220
yeah well there’s always gonna be haters
264
00:20:14,220 –> 00:20:19,380
yeah it is and you you have to really be
prepared for that because you know I’m
265
00:20:19,380 –> 00:20:24,360
kind of some kind of branding myself as
this nice guy like approachable like
266
00:20:24,360 –> 00:20:28,110
anybody can talk to me because that’s
just how I am I can attest to that
267
00:20:29,190 –> 00:20:34,200
well thank you and so I I was like okay
I know that this is a strength of mine
268
00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:38,10
i’m going to use that I’m gonna be you
know they’re there are other DJ blogs
269
00:20:38,10 –> 00:20:42,150
out there but I want people to feel like
they can hit me up on skype like you are
270
00:20:42,150 –> 00:20:47,700
or you know they can join my email list
and reply to something and i’ll actually
271
00:20:47,700 –> 00:20:53,610
reply back and that sort of thing and
you know i i’m not an egomaniac I’m not
272
00:20:53,610 –> 00:20:59,399
judgmental it I’m feel like I’m really
easy to talk to and so to get all that
273
00:20:59,400 –> 00:21:06,780
negative attention suddenly even if it
was the the minority of all the comments
274
00:21:06,780 –> 00:21:13,260
on their it still makes you cry it just
makes you feel so bad and you have to
275
00:21:13,260 –> 00:21:18,240
get over that because it’s gonna happen
or you’re probably not making moves you
276
00:21:18,240 –> 00:21:23,940
know what I mean right up what would you
say that you did to overcome those I
277
00:21:23,940 –> 00:21:27,240
mean because i would say those are
pretty big roblox I mean I know for me
278
00:21:27,240 –> 00:21:32,130
personally you know being a DJ
competition and getting booed only once
279
00:21:32,130 –> 00:21:37,140
want one time but the crowd did not get
what I was coming from but the DJ who
280
00:21:37,140 –> 00:21:41,970
was operating the whole show for the
competition was like you know screw them
281
00:21:41,970 –> 00:21:44,700
they don’t know what they’re talking
about what you’re doing is is really
282
00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:47,940
good keep doing it because you’re
educating them
283
00:21:47,940 –> 00:21:52,80
yeah it you’re going to have criticism
you’re going to have negativity you’re
284
00:21:52,80 –> 00:21:57,629
going to feel vulnerable and the only
way that you’re going to get past that
285
00:21:57,630 –> 00:22:01,860
is it sounds really cliche but is to
just do it i mean you have to
286
00:22:01,860 –> 00:22:05,280
occasionally have to throw yourself
under the bus a little bit make yourself
287
00:22:05,280 –> 00:22:09,59
vulnerable because it all comes down to
doing a little bit at a time and you
288
00:22:09,59 –> 00:22:13,590
have to make yourself uncomfortable or
else your there’s no point because if
289
00:22:13,590 –> 00:22:17,549
you’re if you’re comfortable then you’re
not changing anything you’re not putting
290
00:22:17,549 –> 00:22:21,720
yourself out there you’re not making a
difference and you know they’re there
291
00:22:21,720 –> 00:22:26,850
would be no point in pursuing something
that every single person in the world
292
00:22:26,850 –> 00:22:27,719
agreed with
293
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:32,760
there would be no purpose for what
you’re doing so you have to realize that
294
00:22:32,760 –> 00:22:37,169
you’re you’re going to run into that
kind of thing and and just grin and bear
295
00:22:37,169 –> 00:22:40,289
it I mean there’s I haven’t found a
better way to deal with it personally
296
00:22:40,289 –> 00:22:45,480
it’s harder for me to deal with
criticism and negativity from people i
297
00:22:45,480 –> 00:22:50,100
know then randoms but it still affects
you
298
00:22:50,100 –> 00:22:54,539
yeah that the only the only advice I
have is just keep doing it little bit at
299
00:22:54,539 –> 00:22:59,129
a time I mean baby steps you know my
most interaction that I’ve ever gotten
300
00:22:59,130 –> 00:23:03,750
on the blog so far is that post that
turned out to be kind of controversial
301
00:23:03,750 –> 00:23:08,10
and I was not intentionally doing that
because I didn’t go out there and make
302
00:23:08,10 –> 00:23:12,658
some like sensationalist headlines and
called somebody an idiot or anything
303
00:23:12,659 –> 00:23:16,860
like that I just put my thoughts on
paper and some people are gonna think
304
00:23:16,860 –> 00:23:21,270
that you’re Satan for doing that and
just accept it it’s fine so is there any
305
00:23:21,270 –> 00:23:27,990
parts of your dream your dreams that i
haven’t quite worked out well i’m still
306
00:23:27,990 –> 00:23:33,539
trying so i’ll let you know obviously I
haven’t been able to quit my job yet but
307
00:23:33,539 –> 00:23:39,510
i’m still very early on this this
journey I mean I i decided about a year
308
00:23:39,510 –> 00:23:45,720
ago that i wanted to quit my job and
work for myself I’m not there yet but
309
00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:52,200
I’ve made so much progress that I I
never would have thought that I wouldn’t
310
00:23:52,200 –> 00:23:58,440
be as far as I am I mean I’ve got you
know a good readership I’ve got a
311
00:23:58,440 –> 00:24:01,440
mailing list with several hundred people
on it
312
00:24:01,440 –> 00:24:06,900
I’ve got people who are writing me every
day thanking me for you know the writing
313
00:24:06,900 –> 00:24:11,429
that I do and the podcast and everything
so I’m finding those people that are
314
00:24:11,429 –> 00:24:15,780
resonating with my message and at the
same time you know i’m working on these
315
00:24:15,780 –> 00:24:20,460
these other business ideas that are
moving slower than i would like but you
316
00:24:20,460 –> 00:24:25,440
know I’m seeing results so it’s it’s one
of those things well maybe I’ll start
317
00:24:25,440 –> 00:24:29,789
this business and just dip my toes and
then it makes me a hundred bucks and I’m
318
00:24:29,789 –> 00:24:34,440
like okay proof-of-concept i can’t i
can’t quit my job but I’ve proven that
319
00:24:34,440 –> 00:24:39,30
this is going somewhere and so I’m
that’s basically where I am with all of
320
00:24:39,30 –> 00:24:43,260
my projects right now is I’m I’m proving
to myself that this is okay this is
321
00:24:43,260 –> 00:24:48,210
where I need to go so yeah that’s a i’ll
let you know if I have any major
322
00:24:48,210 –> 00:24:55,80
failures I don’t feel like I have so far
but I’ve also traded very lightly as far
323
00:24:55,80 –> 00:24:59,490
as making investments in things growing
too big too fast
324
00:25:00,149 –> 00:25:03,629
this whole time I’ve approached it as if
it’s a marathon not a sprint
325
00:25:03,630 –> 00:25:08,190
via if I could give some advice it is
important to stop and smell the roses
326
00:25:08,970 –> 00:25:14,820
why you’re doing all this I mean I’m
it’s really easy to get you know for me
327
00:25:14,820 –> 00:25:18,870
I’m working a full-time job and I i do
work from home now I telecommute so that
328
00:25:18,870 –> 00:25:25,799
helps a lot with that flexibility but
it’s it’s it’s important to not just do
329
00:25:25,799 –> 00:25:29,490
what you’re passionate about but to be
passionate about what you do you know
330
00:25:29,490 –> 00:25:32,610
stop and smell the roses I mean don’t
don’t let life pass you by
331
00:25:33,179 –> 00:25:37,830
while you’re pursuing your dreams
because sometimes sometimes part of the
332
00:25:37,830 –> 00:25:40,530
dream is is the pursuit
333
00:25:40,530 –> 00:25:45,360
you know what I mean and if you position
yourself to where you’re you’re working
334
00:25:45,360 –> 00:25:47,370
on something that you care about
335
00:25:47,370 –> 00:25:50,428
it’s not going to feel so much like work
even if your schedule is full
336
00:25:51,149 –> 00:25:56,70
even if you know your we stayed up too
late you’re losing hours of sleep if you
337
00:25:56,70 –> 00:26:00,299
love what you’re doing it really goes a
long way but you also have to think of
338
00:26:00,299 –> 00:26:01,860
how that affects other people
339
00:26:01,860 –> 00:26:08,219
so I’ve had to to really be careful that
I don’t cause problems in my family life
340
00:26:08,220 –> 00:26:14,250
because i’m always gone are always
locked in a room writing or always you
341
00:26:14,250 –> 00:26:18,630
know lock locked up behind my DJ booth
or whatever it is there’s only so much
342
00:26:18,630 –> 00:26:23,70
time in the day so for me it’s it’s a
time management issue and I’m still
343
00:26:23,70 –> 00:26:28,379
working on that so if i were to say one
thing that’s not that hasn’t worked out
344
00:26:28,380 –> 00:26:32,399
that has been a problem for me or a
hurdle it’s time management so that’s
345
00:26:32,399 –> 00:26:36,899
something I’m very much working on you
know getting up a specific time every
346
00:26:36,899 –> 00:26:40,949
day whether i have something to do or
not and making sure i’m done at a
347
00:26:40,950 –> 00:26:43,559
certain time of the day so that I can
give my family the attention they
348
00:26:43,559 –> 00:26:45,240
deserve that sort of thing
349
00:26:45,240 –> 00:26:48,480
yeah i mean it’s it’s gotta be tough
especially working from
350
00:26:48,480 –> 00:26:52,350
home you know there’s there’s no problem
there’s no reason to be up
351
00:26:53,460 –> 00:26:56,820
it’s not only the office where okay I
gotta be here at eight o’clock some
352
00:26:56,820 –> 00:26:59,820
going to have a problem if i’m not there
a clock
353
00:27:00,390 –> 00:27:04,950
yeah telecommuting has been a nice
transition because it’s it’s helped
354
00:27:04,950 –> 00:27:09,900
introduce me to that time management
problem without like completely messing
355
00:27:09,900 –> 00:27:13,350
everything out because I’m just kind of
dipping my toes and it’s like okay I’m
356
00:27:13,350 –> 00:27:18,689
not running my own business I don’t have
all that responsibility but i’m learning
357
00:27:18,690 –> 00:27:24,840
what I need to do to manage my schedule
how to communicate with Stacey about
358
00:27:24,840 –> 00:27:29,220
what I’m gonna be doing that day and
it’s it’s been an adjustment at least as
359
00:27:29,220 –> 00:27:33,870
much for her as it’s been for me because
it’s it’s hard for her to realize that
360
00:27:33,870 –> 00:27:38,549
you know when i’m working you need to
pretend I’m not here or I’m you know
361
00:27:38,549 –> 00:27:41,940
they they say that if you get
interrupted it takes you like 15 or 20
362
00:27:41,940 –> 00:27:45,630
minutes to get your train of thought
back to where you were and everything
363
00:27:45,630 –> 00:27:50,460
that I do requires that kind of creative
energy you know the djing the music
364
00:27:50,460 –> 00:27:54,90
production writing all that stuff that
I’m interested in
365
00:27:54,90 –> 00:27:58,889
if i get interrupted it it’s like all
the the thoughts just fly out of my head
366
00:27:58,890 –> 00:28:05,580
and I have to start over and so it’s
yeah finding those tactful ways to you
367
00:28:05,580 –> 00:28:09,418
know say that hey I need someone
interrupted time all that kind of stuff
368
00:28:10,20 –> 00:28:14,520
the other thing is having a good support
network is good and you you all you have
369
00:28:14,520 –> 00:28:19,559
to kind of pursue that on your own as
far as surrounding yourself with
370
00:28:19,559 –> 00:28:26,910
like-minded driven people so like a have
a couple of buddies that we haven’t for
371
00:28:26,910 –> 00:28:31,679
a little while now but we every week
once a week we are meeting up just a
372
00:28:31,679 –> 00:28:36,210
local bar grill to talk about our
various entrepreneurial pursuits and
373
00:28:36,210 –> 00:28:40,919
kinda like a mastermind meeting you know
we just get together and talk even
374
00:28:40,919 –> 00:28:45,210
though all of our projects were
completely unrelated getting that
375
00:28:45,210 –> 00:28:51,900
outside perspective that being said you
really can only count on yourself as far
376
00:28:51,900 –> 00:28:53,520
as getting things done
377
00:28:53,520 –> 00:28:57,960
so while it’s important to have that
support network i don’t think that you
378
00:28:57,960 –> 00:29:01,670
should rely on anyone else if you’re
trying to get things done
379
00:29:01,670 –> 00:29:07,10
and I I don’t mean to say that you can’t
rely on anybody but don’t depend be
380
00:29:07,10 –> 00:29:12,80
dependent on somebody else if it’s
holding you up you know it’s you have to
381
00:29:12,80 –> 00:29:17,929
learn how to say no or learn how to move
things along without causing problems in
382
00:29:17,930 –> 00:29:19,610
your relationships with people
383
00:29:19,610 –> 00:29:23,179
yeah definitely I mean I one of things
always held me back was I needed an
384
00:29:23,180 –> 00:29:28,220
artist to convey don’t think that i was
looking to to do and then i found that
385
00:29:28,220 –> 00:29:34,130
in Matt fortunately arm and he’s been
very very good for me and and i think
386
00:29:34,130 –> 00:29:39,140
i’ve been very good for him getting you
know moving are our passions forward
387
00:29:39,140 –> 00:29:42,350
anyway so do you have any dreams for the
future
388
00:29:43,160 –> 00:29:47,390
I mean you’ve dabbled in that here but
anything that you’re willing to share
389
00:29:47,390 –> 00:29:49,340
for the future
390
00:29:49,340 –> 00:29:53,689
sure well obviously quitting the day job
is the most immediate thing that I’m
391
00:29:53,690 –> 00:29:58,520
trying to do that’s kind of like a is
this it’s an immediate milestone that’s
392
00:29:58,520 –> 00:29:59,420
within reach
393
00:29:59,420 –> 00:30:04,190
so that’s that’s kind of my my focus now
just because it’s it’s something that I
394
00:30:04,190 –> 00:30:10,940
can digest and and I feel that I can do
i also would like to do something in the
395
00:30:10,940 –> 00:30:17,600
autism space and i’m not quite sure of
what that is yet but the reason is you
396
00:30:17,600 –> 00:30:21,889
know I guess that early at the beginning
I’m the oldest of six siblings and two
397
00:30:21,890 –> 00:30:29,30
of them are on the autism spectrum my
younger brother Benjamin is nasty has
398
00:30:29,30 –> 00:30:35,270
asperger syndrome and then mice sister
was the youngest the only girl she’s got
399
00:30:35,270 –> 00:30:42,80
called pdd-nos which is also autism
spectrum it stands for pervasive you see
400
00:30:42,80 –> 00:30:45,80
pervasive developmental disorder not
otherwise specified
401
00:30:46,160 –> 00:30:51,50
so it’s essentially it’s an umbrella
term it’s it’s a catch-all autism covers
402
00:30:51,50 –> 00:30:56,930
so many different things but she’s she’s
very low functioning she’s she’s 12
403
00:30:56,930 –> 00:31:03,260
years old but she’s more like dealing
with the 23 year old but she is also a
404
00:31:03,260 –> 00:31:09,20
huge inspiration to me and just I just
left my sister to death and I said it’s
405
00:31:09,20 –> 00:31:14,210
really kind of it’s made me want to do
something I don’t know if that’s you
406
00:31:14,210 –> 00:31:15,200
know philanthropic
407
00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:19,220
or even if it’s just starting and
occasionally vent to where I can donate
408
00:31:19,220 –> 00:31:21,919
to you know some society
409
00:31:21,919 –> 00:31:25,159
I’m figured out where i’m going with
that yet but something in the autism
410
00:31:25,159 –> 00:31:28,399
space would be something I’d like to do
I’d like to travel more
411
00:31:29,29 –> 00:31:33,679
that’s something that I’ve not really
been able to do and is kind of part of
412
00:31:33,679 –> 00:31:39,80
why i’m doing all this as to have that
the freedom to to go and and have
413
00:31:39,80 –> 00:31:45,559
adventures and basically i’d like to be
a little more prolific and successful as
414
00:31:45,559 –> 00:31:50,990
far as my DJing and producing goes so
that I can share my craft with more
415
00:31:50,990 –> 00:31:55,399
people outside of you know my own town
I’ll probably always want to be building
416
00:31:55,399 –> 00:32:01,370
businesses or attempting to because i
enjoy the climb and I think if i can get
417
00:32:01,370 –> 00:32:05,59
to the point where I’m financially
independent then that’s only gonna drive
418
00:32:05,59 –> 00:32:10,700
me to want to do that more because I i
enjoy building things building systems
419
00:32:10,700 –> 00:32:14,929
anything that comes as my uniform I
systems administrator background but I
420
00:32:14,929 –> 00:32:19,100
like putting all the pieces in place and
in that sort of thing and finally just a
421
00:32:19,100 –> 00:32:23,658
building kind of a legacy you know
making making my mark on the world even
422
00:32:23,659 –> 00:32:28,250
if it’s only to a handful of people i
think that’s more important to me than
423
00:32:28,250 –> 00:32:34,820
how much money I make or where I live or
that sort of thing you know I want to
424
00:32:34,820 –> 00:32:37,158
make an impact on people’s lives
425
00:32:37,159 –> 00:32:41,929
well you know if you need help with the
autism stuff let me know I’m going to
426
00:32:41,929 –> 00:32:45,679
help you out in any way i can I mean I
know we’re not right like next to each
427
00:32:45,679 –> 00:32:49,519
other but we share a state in between us
428
00:32:49,519 –> 00:32:52,880
yeah I mean that you know the world’s
getting smaller every day
429
00:32:52,880 –> 00:32:57,19
it definitely is so is there any last
thoughts you’d like to share with our
430
00:32:57,19 –> 00:32:58,669
audience
431
00:32:58,669 –> 00:33:03,860
yeah sure I actually have a quote if you
don’t mind if that’s not too cheesy but
432
00:33:03,860 –> 00:33:08,928
its success is typically about doing
more of the things that you know you
433
00:33:08,929 –> 00:33:13,309
should do rather than learning the
secrets you don’t know so I’ll read that
434
00:33:13,309 –> 00:33:17,450
again success is typically about doing
more of the things you know you should
435
00:33:17,450 –> 00:33:23,59
do rather than learning the secrets you
don’t know I and the reason i bring that
436
00:33:23,59 –> 00:33:28,440
up is because I i think that people feel
like they’re these massive
437
00:33:28,440 –> 00:33:33,750
barriers in front of them and their
dreams and i think that the biggest
438
00:33:33,750 –> 00:33:38,910
barrier is it is ourselves I mean giving
giving ourselves permission to try
439
00:33:38,910 –> 00:33:44,970
things being willing to take small risks
or even larger wrists and I’m you know
440
00:33:44,970 –> 00:33:48,510
it’s it’s not some that there’s some big
secret to success
441
00:33:48,510 –> 00:33:55,350
it’s that you need to actually take baby
steps and I came to realize this when
442
00:33:55,350 –> 00:33:59,459
you know I had thought about trying to
to start businesses and start writing
443
00:33:59,460 –> 00:34:04,440
and start doing this and that and I
would just think about it and then a few
444
00:34:04,440 –> 00:34:07,170
months later I would think about it and
then a few months later I would think
445
00:34:07,170 –> 00:34:12,630
about it and the next thing you know
it’s been 5 10 years and I’m like how
446
00:34:12,630 –> 00:34:18,270
far along would I be if I had taken this
baby step 10 years ago and you come to
447
00:34:18,270 –> 00:34:23,250
realize that it’s not really that there
are these big hurdles in the way it’s
448
00:34:23,250 –> 00:34:26,370
just that there are a lot of them and
you need to go get out there and start
449
00:34:26,370 –> 00:34:30,600
making mistakes and figuring it out and
the sooner you do that the sooner you’re
450
00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:34,350
going to be well on your way in this
modern age we have more opportunities
451
00:34:34,350 –> 00:34:39,870
than we’ve ever had to advance ourselves
to pursue our dreams to follow our
452
00:34:39,870 –> 00:34:45,690
passions and it seems like even so we
have at least as many if not more
453
00:34:45,690 –> 00:34:51,330
unhappy people and uninspired people
then have we’ve ever had and maybe
454
00:34:51,330 –> 00:34:55,739
that’s just kind of a social effect of
you know us were able to see everybody’s
455
00:34:55,739 –> 00:34:59,669
thoughts all day long on you know
whatever screen happens to be in front
456
00:34:59,670 –> 00:35:08,130
of us but it seems to me that there’s no
reason outside of just complacency to be
457
00:35:08,130 –> 00:35:12,450
an unhappy drone yeah I mean there’s
some you are absolutely right
458
00:35:12,450 –> 00:35:16,710
there’s plenty of opportunity for people
to to find themselves and find something
459
00:35:16,710 –> 00:35:21,870
out there that they can be passionate
about and be happy with and can
460
00:35:21,870 –> 00:35:27,930
hopefully make money with absolutely and
it’s kind of what you know again it
461
00:35:27,930 –> 00:35:33,930
takes money to make dreams that it does
and in I honestly i would love you know
