Quotes
24:42 “As entrepreneurs in the DJ world you get knocked down your fare share but you have to stick with it because good things will happen. They may not happen in the order you would expect it to but if you can just keep coming back and stick with it I think that is a good solution.”
40:09 “So if you go for it and you have persistence and resilience and surround yourself with a tribe of people I think that either the short term or long term you will be successful.”
