In an industry where burnout is normalized and careers end before they begin, most DJs don't realize they're one health crisis away from losing everything. This week's guest, Ethan Schiff, knows this reality all too well - after watching countless artists sacrifice their health for success, he's on a mission to change how the music industry thinks about wellness.

After transforming his own life with a 130-pound weight loss journey, Ethan left his successful artist management company to focus on something even more important - helping artists stay healthy on the road. His company, Optimized Touring, is revolutionizing how we think about wellness in dance music.

Key Takeaways:

  • The real impact of sleep vs. alcohol on performance
  • How to maintain healthy habits with an irregular schedule
  • Why most artists' approach to exercise is backwards
  • Practical nutrition strategies for touring life
  • The connection between mental health and career longevity
  • How to build sustainable routines that actually work
  • Why your current wellness approach might be hurting you
  • Simple shifts that create massive impact
