What do you do when the beach wedding you’re DJing turns into a muddy mess… and your booth is now on the dance floor?
In this episode, Joe shares a behind-the-scenes story from one of the most weather-challenged weddings he’s ever worked...a rain-soaked celebration that could’ve been a disaster but turned into one of the couple’s most epic memories. From rerouting power cables to embracing the chaos, it’s a lesson in what real adaptability looks like on event day.
But that’s just one storm.
Brian and Joe also unpack how geography can shape your entire DJ business model. From Arizona’s summer shutdowns to Montana’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it season, they reveal how the most successful companies adjust recruiting, planning, and marketing around the regional calendar — not just the wedding date.
Then it’s time to face the trolls.
They share real experiences dealing with online critics, from passive-aggressive reviews to straight-up internet clowns. Should you respond? Ignore it? Call your mom? Their candid conversation gives you a practical playbook for navigating the digital drama that comes with visibility.
Finally, for company owners growing their team, Joe breaks down his full recruiting and training process, including why Indeed is still working, how he structures interviews, and the unexpected place Joe suggests scouting new talent: the Apple Store. (Seriously — it makes sense when you hear why.)
Whether you’re building a team, weathering storms (literal or digital), or just looking for a smarter way to run your business, this episode delivers the perspective and practical advice you didn’t know you needed.
