The Lost Music Episode: Brian B's July 2022 Music Review Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

The lost music episode. Whoops! I forgot to post this one. With my music episodes, I try to present to you evergreen tracks that will be with you for a while. So although these were my July 2022 Picks, all of these I'm still use at the beginning of December (time of recording). I subscribe to a ton of record pools beyond digging through blogs, Patreon, streaming services, Shazam, and the like. I thought I would share my top 10 most interesting musical track finds with you. Bonus: I'll give you the source on where to find the tracks I talk about. Not only do I hope to save you time in finding gems but I also give you my take on how/where I use them within my sets.

Inside The DJC: Incremental Change Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Starting a new series within the podcast called "Inside The DJC". This is like getting a backstage pass into the thinking of an event producer but I will always tie it back into application for your individual business. In this episode, we talk through incremental change and why I believe it can be fool's gold. Foundational change, on the other hand, is not easy or quick but is stuff that moves mountains in one's business. Lean in as I go a little deep here.

What's The Right Amount of Involvement of The DJ With The Timeline? Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

This is a listener requested topic - whether it's a planner or a DJ or a venue representative, each (in a lot of cases) feels like they should control the timeline. How do you handle a situation where there is dissension amongst the client and vendor team on this issue? In this episode, I give you the answer within the first 60 seconds then dive into the nuances (of which there are many). I think you can set yourself up to shine but most of the work has to be done on the front end to succeed.

Booking and Working International Events Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

Have you ever thought about DJ'ing internationally? 9 times out of 10 most clients are going to have a planner help them with this. So who better to ask about this than a planner who ONLY does international work but is based in the United States. In today's interview, I talk with Paulina Corvi from Paulina Corvi events. She discusses how she picked the location she serves, how she markets herself, and what her creative bent and processes are.

When To Split Your Company Brand In Two Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

This is a listener requested topic - when to split your company brand in two. In this episode, I share a little of my story and how it came to pass that I created 2 companies with vastly different processes, value offerings, and price points. There's a time and place for making the split but knowing why and when is the key.

Why DJs Should Be Using A Booth Monitor Aug 13, 2022

Show notes

I come from a destination event background where guest counts typically range from 50-150 people. The thought of needing or wanting a booth monitor just seemed unnecessary. Over the years, I've evolved on this issue. I give you some reasons to consider having one at every event as well as share which models I use within this episode. If you use a monitor, what are you using? Inquiring minds would love to know.
