00:00:32.829 --> 00:00:33.271
We're back.
00:00:33.271 --> 00:00:33.860
What's up, dude?
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:34.765
How's your energy level?
00:00:34.765 --> 00:00:35.529
Are you doing good?
00:00:35.529 --> 00:00:38.220
It's still good, dude, I don't want to fight anybody yet.
00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:40.223
I got a lot of snacks, though, in my drawer.
00:00:40.243 --> 00:00:55.362
In there it's like a lot of almonds and walnuts and random, not good there's no any pistachio yeah, those are on the plan I love it, but it said you can only eat 49 oh salted salted salts.
00:00:55.362 --> 00:00:57.548
Okay, specifically 49 49.
00:00:57.787 --> 00:00:58.570
Are you counting them out?
00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:01.182
It said, or a handful, but I mean, I isn't like.
00:01:01.182 --> 00:01:04.072
I mean because those things are addictive.
00:01:04.072 --> 00:01:11.521
And it said do not get the unshelled ones, cause they're too easy to just be like right, well, and then do you like overcompensate Cause?
00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:15.847
you're like I got small hands and so you're like I think I should stick to the 49.
00:01:15.888 --> 00:01:16.811
I better count them out.
00:01:17.521 --> 00:01:19.188
It makes them little individual satchels.
00:01:19.188 --> 00:01:19.850
You know what I?
00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:20.359
mean God.
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:20.781
I love pistachios.
00:01:20.781 --> 00:01:21.522
I Got a little pistachios.
00:01:21.682 --> 00:01:22.983
I was outside this weekend.
00:01:22.983 --> 00:01:24.625
You know gigging and.
00:01:24.625 --> 00:01:26.087
I needed a little pick-me-up.
00:01:26.087 --> 00:01:27.968
So you know, for me I use those Alani's.
00:01:28.088 --> 00:01:33.153
That's right he does like the Alani's Very low-calorie they're not sponsoring us yet, but they should.
00:01:33.814 --> 00:01:35.236
They're purple, they're blue.
00:01:35.236 --> 00:01:38.605
The colors are super annoying.
00:01:38.605 --> 00:01:40.069
Anyways, this keeps it cool.
00:01:40.069 --> 00:01:45.850
So you take off the top, you put it in, put it in there and I can hide it behind a speaker.
00:01:45.850 --> 00:01:47.828
It's not going to be an eyesore.
00:01:47.828 --> 00:01:50.025
So highly recommend getting one of these for your gigs.
00:01:50.025 --> 00:01:51.069
I put it in my backpack.
00:01:51.088 --> 00:01:54.986
I have a little it's gotta be the skinny cans, the 12 ounce skinny.
00:01:55.287 --> 00:01:59.582
So those are good for what do you think of that is going for right now on Amazon?
00:01:59.643 --> 00:02:03.066
I know your wife gave me one for my birthday a couple years ago and I love it.
00:02:03.066 --> 00:02:10.111
I think they're probably let me feel the quality again with the anti-slip bottom.
00:02:10.111 --> 00:02:12.933
I think these are $24.99.
00:02:13.253 --> 00:02:14.775
Wow On the nose buddy, yes, sir.
00:02:14.775 --> 00:02:15.975
On the nose.
00:02:16.056 --> 00:02:17.217
I'm back, I'm back.
00:02:18.062 --> 00:02:19.068
This is a black version.
00:02:19.068 --> 00:02:23.141
Yeah, if you want it not to be this crappy North Carolina blue, stop it.
00:02:23.141 --> 00:02:25.330
It's not UCLA brewing blue, it should be.
00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:28.389
But anyways yes, highly recommend this version of it.
00:02:28.389 --> 00:02:30.705
I've had it for a year and a half.
00:02:30.866 --> 00:02:31.868
Yeah, these are really good.
00:02:31.868 --> 00:02:33.312
Definitely recommend getting one of these.
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.811
We'll put the link in the store Amazon store.
00:02:36.811 --> 00:02:39.008
If you go to my Amazon, you'll find it there.
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.968
Yeah, that's under the YouTube video every single week guys.
00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:42.430
Yeah.
00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:47.474
I got a little break the ice, since I haven't seen you in five minutes.
00:02:47.474 --> 00:02:48.000
This is speed round shit.
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:48.580
Speed round.
00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:49.545
Give it to me quick.
00:02:49.545 --> 00:02:51.336
First thing that comes to mind speed round.
00:02:51.336 --> 00:02:51.599
I'm ready.
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.206
I'm going to close my eyes, Close your eyes Serato or record box Serato.
00:02:56.381 --> 00:03:01.543
Wireless mic dies mid-toast or the speaker cuts out mid-first dance.
00:03:01.543 --> 00:03:06.770
I think we did this one speaker cutout gig with no dinner break or no bathroom.
00:03:07.050 --> 00:03:07.371
Oh gig.
00:03:07.371 --> 00:03:10.115
With no dinner break, Thousand percent Got to have a restroom.
00:03:10.495 --> 00:03:40.441
Okay, dj for your ex wife's wedding or my game paid or yes, okay, dj for your ex wife's wedding, or the person that left you the worst review you've ever gotten to wedding oh, I think the ex wife okay, spotify playlist on an ipad or, and, and you can use the crossfade, you know, internal menu, or like one of those little bitty kind of dj toy controllers, but it does work it depends on the application, but I'm gonna say spotify.
00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:41.522
I'll say spotify for now.
00:03:41.543 --> 00:03:43.165
Okay, that's it, it was this or that.
00:03:43.265 --> 00:03:44.026
It was a quick yes or that.
00:03:44.026 --> 00:03:48.808
Let me see Serato or Rekordbox Serato.
00:03:48.808 --> 00:03:54.200
For me, wireless mic dies mid-toast or the speaker cuts out, because I never have just one speaker, I always have two.
00:03:54.301 --> 00:03:57.888
So I feel like if I I think that's, I should have said both speakers cut out.
00:03:58.341 --> 00:03:59.064
But no, I'm with you.
00:04:00.086 --> 00:04:04.893
I would let one speaker you know die Gig with no dinner break or gig with no bathroom, yeah, no dinner.
00:04:04.893 --> 00:04:06.776
I've done a million weddings with no dinner.
00:04:06.776 --> 00:04:09.087
Dj for your ex-wife's wedding or worse.
00:04:09.087 --> 00:04:12.610
I'm going to have to go with my worst reviewer and just hope I've redeemed myself.
00:04:12.610 --> 00:04:14.344
That's the only one, I think.
00:04:14.344 --> 00:04:21.966
I would change Spotify playlist with the crossfade function or the little DJ toy controller, although I've seen Dynamix play on one of those little toy controllers.
00:04:22.166 --> 00:04:23.129
I mean I always bring one.
00:04:23.129 --> 00:04:24.031
He absolutely destroyed it.
00:04:24.031 --> 00:04:27.024
It's nice having a pinch, because if something goes wrong with your other stuff.
00:04:27.064 --> 00:04:28.209
Yeah, they're great having your bag.
00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:31.108

You know you got to have it.
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:37.745
I've had it happen a few times where I forgot the power or something, and I had to just go off of it, or whatever Off the toy.
00:04:37.865 --> 00:04:38.286
We know Spotify.
00:04:38.286 --> 00:04:43.822
Well, now they have that DJ app.
00:04:43.822 --> 00:04:44.283

Mother's Day, but not the same client, no different clients, different clients on this one.
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.161
Because you've been doing like double same client.
00:05:59.161 --> 00:05:59.862
Yeah.
00:06:00.303 --> 00:06:02.745
I did last weekend I did a triple, triple, same client.
00:06:02.745 --> 00:06:05.629
Same client, and then this weekend was this, past weekend was two.
00:06:05.968 --> 00:06:07.170
Yeah, same client.
00:06:07.170 --> 00:06:07.951
No, they were separate.
00:06:07.951 --> 00:06:09.872
Oh, okay, okay, different venues.
00:06:10.093 --> 00:06:11.535
And this one's another split.
00:06:11.535 --> 00:06:12.995
So yeah, I'm going hard man.
00:06:12.995 --> 00:06:16.259
You're going hard my dude July and August, though Garbage yeah.
00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:19.449
I think mine are always low-key garbage and I'm okay with it.
00:06:19.449 --> 00:06:21.065
Yeah, I want the break.
00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:23.225
I've got like two or three, but nothing crazy.
00:06:23.225 --> 00:06:23.887
Let's go to the beach.
00:06:23.887 --> 00:06:25.752

No dj, no dj.
00:06:48.142 --> 00:06:48.865
I think it might be playlist bound.
00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:49.668
Wow, and are you doing anything for that?
00:06:49.668 --> 00:06:50.088
I have nothing to do.
00:06:50.088 --> 00:06:50.610
I offered multiple things.
00:06:50.610 --> 00:06:52.055
Hey, you want me to set up a speaker, or does anybody need a microphone?
00:06:52.055 --> 00:06:52.396

00:07:00.966 --> 00:07:04.338
So and they and they were together when Flywheel was in existence.
00:07:04.338 --> 00:07:06.726

And I think I'm going to take them out on the boat and stuff A bunch of people out on the boat.
00:07:11.624 --> 00:07:15.447
Probably Friday and or Saturday she wants to do a spin class down there.
00:07:15.447 --> 00:07:16.725
So we kind of organize that.
00:07:16.725 --> 00:07:20.408
But it's just a small wedding yeah, I'm off this weekend, which is super rare for may.

It's good stuff, that's awesome.
00:08:54.785 --> 00:08:55.366
A cheap facade.
00:08:55.366 --> 00:08:56.148
It's time for an upgrade.
00:08:56.148 --> 00:09:12.633
That's why I created Bungear lightweight, pro-grade DJ booths designed for the real mobile DJs.
00:09:12.633 --> 00:09:13.740
They're sleek, built to last and they set up in minutes.
00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:16.990
Trust me, when you look the part, your clients will notice.

00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:26.744
Let's get into the question.
00:09:26.744 --> 00:09:27.145
Let's do it.
00:09:27.145 --> 00:09:35.350
How would you approach selling another DJ to a client that was enticed because of your solo op brand?
00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:36.673
This is by Jesse.
00:09:36.673 --> 00:09:40.405
Yeah, sorry, shout out Jesse Palencia in Chicago, illinois.
00:09:40.726 --> 00:09:42.591
I think he's saying he's a single op.
00:09:42.591 --> 00:09:49.389
Right, he gets a lead and they're like oh my God, jesse, I saw you at the Smith Johnson wedding.
00:09:49.389 --> 00:09:50.504
You smashed it.
00:09:50.504 --> 00:09:52.647
I'm getting married October 15th.
00:09:52.647 --> 00:09:53.710
Can you do my wedding?
00:09:53.710 --> 00:10:04.421
Let's just say Jesse's booked, but he knows that DJ Saquon, that also lives in Chicago, could be available that night and he is basically cut off of it.
00:10:04.441 --> 00:10:07.006
Maybe I don't get the impression of a cut.
00:10:07.006 --> 00:10:16.139
I just think he wants to pass this lead on and get his homie booked, and he believes that Saquon would be a good fit for this couple, right?
00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:18.365
So let's just rephrase it like that.
00:10:18.365 --> 00:10:22.253
Whether that's how he meant the question to be or not, that's how we are interpreting it.
00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:23.986
How do you kind of sell that?
00:10:23.986 --> 00:10:35.767
If they like what you do and they wanted you, I think they will trust that recommendation, because why would you send them somebody that wasn't the same vibe as you?
00:10:35.767 --> 00:10:41.567
It's going to be a bad reflection if they get somebody who's whack and they come out and they just don't do what you do.
00:10:41.567 --> 00:10:52.030
So I think it's something along the lines of sending them the best recommendation based on what they're looking for, whether that's somebody who does what you do or if I would say the same thing about it if they weren't enticed because of me.
00:10:52.030 --> 00:10:54.240
I want to give people the right recommendation regardless.
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.264
I guess at the end of the day, Me too.
00:10:56.544 --> 00:10:59.750
I don't care if it's cakes or wedding dresses or mmos or whatever.
00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:04.386
I agree, and it's no different than running a multi-op company, right?
00:11:04.386 --> 00:11:10.927
I mean, the entire reputation of bun dj company, of b-boy entertainment, is based off of a recommendation of.
00:11:10.927 --> 00:11:14.482
This guy happens to work for me, but he's still a great choice for your wedding.
00:11:14.482 --> 00:11:19.543
It's not like I'm just out there sending out amateur night, right, you know, to do the biggest day of somebody's life.
00:11:19.543 --> 00:11:21.106
We wouldn't be here, right?
00:11:21.106 --> 00:11:21.287
We, right.
00:11:21.287 --> 00:11:25.434
And we especially wouldn't be here 25 years later if I was sending out a bunch of scrubs.
00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:27.287
So I don't think it's a hard sell.
00:11:27.287 --> 00:11:36.044
They've either seen you or gotten recommended to you and I think a just a simple conversation, jesse, about hey look, I can't do this wedding.
00:11:36.044 --> 00:11:37.708
I'm so sorry, I'm so upset.
00:11:37.708 --> 00:11:39.441
I've got whatever you say, it's a friend.
00:11:39.441 --> 00:11:46.184
I got a colleague, I know a guy that would be great for y'all, you know, because maybe you get a little more data, right.
00:11:46.184 --> 00:11:48.991
Maybe they want a Latin and pop mix.
00:11:48.991 --> 00:11:50.883
Maybe you do have that conversation.
00:11:50.883 --> 00:11:51.945
Give me a little more Like.
00:11:51.945 --> 00:11:55.211
Maybe it's a heavy hip hop crowd, oh, okay, I've got the guy for that.
00:11:55.211 --> 00:12:11.849
Maybe it's a crowd that wants an MC that's going to get out on the floor and teach line dances or be hyping people up on the mic and throw your hands in the air type thing, like if you get just a little bit more information in this call with you, I think that you can feel confident sending them a recommendation of one or more people.
00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:24.386
I'd also say too that in this case, if they were recommended because of the fact that they're like you, it would be good to have a conversation, say, hey, listen, if I'm ever booked, I'm going to be recommending you because I think you're the right fit, like comparatively, 100 percent.
00:12:24.386 --> 00:12:32.850
Can you have some promo material put together so that when I send these over it can sell the deal way quicker than if they got to have another conversation?
00:12:32.850 --> 00:12:43.249
We just went through it, you and I, because you had a corporate that you couldn't do, yep, and you said, hey, you know, made the introduction or whatever, yep, and within two seconds I had a press kit to them.
00:12:43.249 --> 00:12:45.480
They could go look and they could see if it's the right fit or not.
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:53.260
You're really good at having that EPK electronic press kit up-to-date new relevant pictures, new relevant data.
00:12:53.260 --> 00:12:58.027
That is basically Canva-made PDF-driven Right and that you can just fire off.
00:12:58.488 --> 00:13:01.792
I'm not saying you have to go to that depth, but have a mix.
00:13:01.792 --> 00:13:05.235
Video content's really king at this point, or even their Instagram.
00:13:05.640 --> 00:13:07.905
Their Instagram is good, like, hey, go check out their Instagram.
