Building a Music Empire and the Power of Giving Back

All I can say about today’s guest is WOW. WOW. WOW.

If you watched the recent Netflix documentary about his rise to superstardom (I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead), you already will be excited about this interview.

But if not, let me tell you, this is a gem.

Steve Aoki is one of the hottest DJ’s on the planet right now – but that’s not all of what he does.

He’s also the founder of a record label, an apparel line, a philanthropist, a dedicated family man, and he holds the Guiness World Record for most traveled musician in a year.

In case you think Steve did this all overnight, think again.

He’s been working harder than any other DJ to promote his brand and music for decades.

“I trust people more than skill set.”  

And it’s paying off.

But in this conversation, we talked about some of the other sides of super success as well — health, team building, family, and more.

Steve is very grounded and clear on his vision. That means he knows a thing or two about focus and priorities. And you know how much I believe in the power of a clear vision.

I am really excited to share this extraordinary person with you in Episode 401 with Steve Aoki.
