Even if I’m not going to clubs every weekend like I used to, I still like to listen to some of the best DJs whose music makes the club experience a great night, and one of those DJs is Steve Aoki. I’ve known Steve for a while now, and it was amazing for me to come across an Instagram post the other day calling out an upcoming show he has & knowing that he’s still out there doing what he loves. The post actually reminded me of an interview I had with him a few years back that was centered around the specific moments that drove him to becoming the cake throwing DJ we see on social media, or in person if we’re lucky, and I knew I had to share this conversation with everyone who thinks that a lack of limitless money is what’s holding them back from achieving their goals.
Check out this all new episode for:
The struggles Steve faced as he initially tried to pursue his music goals
The scrappy ways Steve built a name for himself without any help from his father, creator of Benihana
