In this episode, I break down how I have my Serato crates organized. Everyone does it differently but this is what works for me.

In this episode, I give you a product review of something I've been using for the last few months: Automate Your DJEP. If you are a user of DJ Event Planner, a CRM for DJs, this is a must have!

The “Second Act” series is based on the fact that, in my mind, everything we did “pre-covid” was the First Act. The Second Act is what we’re in right now as states start to re-open and we get back to events. What I’ve come to realize as we’ve been going through this pandemic is that there are a lot of great stories out there – things of hope, things that are super raw for folks, and even stories o...

I put them on my Spotify Music playlist and sometimes they make my se...

A lot of folks see those who have success and they think it's all gravy for them. However, successful people are human too.
