The Travel DJ Blend with DJ Brian B

Whether we realize it or not, we all have a red line - that is, a place where we won't let a client or a creative partner (i.e. a planner, photographer, etc.) cross. If they go beyond that line, it t…

Ghosting - it’s just a part of what we have to deal with as an industry…or is it? In this episode, I make a case for how we can stop it all together. It takes a commitment to not be swayed by the alm…

I've always been a fan of rewarding yourself (if you sell yourself) or your salespeople for a sale. There are exceptions but by and large sales is not easy - time and money spent to market for the cl…

I've heard a lot of DJ podcasts recently reference the benefit of short formality song edits and NY/NJ Mini Dance Sets. I want to give the other side of that argument.  Simply put, I'm not a fan of e…

Part 2 of 2 wedding music "left turns" - songs that you didn't see coming; where the DJ takes things in a different direction than the norm or what the crowd was expecting. Joining me as guest contri…

My music episodes are back. In this episode, I talk through wedding music "left turns" - songs that you didn't see coming; where the DJ takes things in a different direction than the norm or what the…

Have you ever had to articulate to a client what your deposit is for? To me, the answer to this question is just one in a line of questions that tells the story of your business. In this episode, I t…

Are you tired of constantly dealing with customers or clients who say you're too expensive or they've found a cheaper DJ? I know I was. I'd be told it was all about things like being more persuasive,…

Don't you hate it when advertisers call you and want you to advertise or marketers ping you wanting you to to participate in something you have no interest in doing? You don't want to say yes but you…

It's a New Year...but man did this last one (2021) kick my butt; to the point that I ran out of gas and am just now finally getting well.  I talk through how to have your family or significant others…

Rant...Errr...DJ Dad Talk Time. From the inception of this podcast, the goals have been to #1 - have conversations that others in our industry aren't having; ones that go deeper than surface level an…

Another story from the gig log. I share the story (a first for me as a DJ as it pertains to this particular issue) but the greater point of the episode is to ponder when is enough enough as far as th…

I worked an ungodly amount of events this past Fall. With that, comes a ton of stories. In this episode, I share 3 of them - the faulty power box, lost luggage, and one about a broken elevator.  Thes…

It takes a minute for me to get there but the crux of this episode is about transparency (especially with our social media). Do our clients really need to see everything? I think there is a line and …

One thing I feel like I'm really good at is multi-tasking and getting things done. I DJ and sell my own events,  run a DJ Experience called the DJC, record this podcast, run a coaching group and do i…

Is there a difference between being thirsty and hungry? Absolutely there it is. In this episode, I break down the nuances between the two and talk through why I feel it's imperative that you get this…

As you move into higher end events, you will inevitably be working with a planner. So it makes sense to ask, what are planners looking for in DJ Set-ups? This may influence what you invest money into…

Getting a little deep in the weeds on this one. Once you move from hobby/amateur creative to professional, can you measure quality? Unless it's a specific metric, I think it becomes more of a stylist…

In the last episode, I ran out of time to give an in depth Engage Summits overview. So in this episode, I hit the highlights of what to expect should you ever decide to go. I wish something like this…

As someone who has had a podcast for the last 3 years, I take seriously the responsibility to deliver episodes that have content where I have done the work to study the issue at hand. When I see othe…
