    Episode 11 with Kane: Balancing Sales and DJ

    Today's episode is filled with some MUSIC, deep discussion on the Malaysian music scene, and Sales as a career. Kane and I met at a house party where he was performing and I was sooo excited that I literally just stood next to him most of the time to watch how he did his thing. Luckily he liked me LOL and we kicked it off ever since, and we realised we had mutual friends which was CRAZY!!  Kane is living an interesting where he's balancing a Sales career at a FinTech while with DJ.   We talked a lot in this episode. From his dedication to ensuring everyone has a good time, to his journey on how he got to where he is today, professionally and creatively, we got to learn a lot about how Kane views the world and how he approaches life.  We also unearthed on the importance of finding a community of like-minded people who are starting or are already on the same journey as you, as that accountability factor can set you on an exponential growth when you're getting feedback on your creative output, vs doing it alone. The key is to put yourself out there, and eventually you'll start meeting your people who f**k with what you're doing too.  Here's one interesting thing Kane mentioned: “Sales and DJ is all about how you present yourself, and ensuring you provide the customer/audience with a good experience. In Sales you want to make sure your product is delivering value for the customer's specific use case. In DJ it's all about manipulating the pitch and rhythm to alter your audience's emotions and ensuring they have a good time, while also taking the time to thank the audience for coming along on the journey with you.    🎧 This episode is for you if you’re interested in Sales, DJ, if you're interested in the progression of the Malaysian music scene, and how to start DJ'ing as well!! 🔥 Enjoy the episode, learn the blueprint from my guests, hope this inspires you to just start, and do let me know what you think!!

    Today's episode is filled with MAGIC, storytelling, and philosophy. I met Vicente very recently at a chess event, he showed my friend and I some f*****g cool magic tricks, and after talking to him more I was like you gotta be on my pod. And I'm so thankful that Vicente joins me today, who's a full-time high school teacher, runs his own education tuition business ANDa also is a Magician too. IKR!?  From his love of learning, seeking and understanding knowledge to how he started out getting into magic, his transition from his previous tech job to now working as a teacher that allows his flexibility to do his businesses and magic, and the importance of finding the right mentor. Vicente also adopts a 997 lifestyle, yet he lives by the code of work-life integration.  Here's one interesting thing Vicente mentioned: “There's an art and science to Magic, science is the mechanics of doing things, the art is how play with your audience's attention. The cool thing is, he's also weaved in his learnings from Magic onto his full-time job as well!   🎧 This episode is for you if you’re interested in magic, if you're looking for a mentor, how Vicente handles a 997 lifestyle balancing teaching and magic!! 🔥 Enjoy the episode, hope this inspires you to just start, and do let me know what you think!!
