Join Kurt and Di in this episode as they have an honest and engaging conversation with notable DJ and producer Ben Rainey. Ben has half a million listeners on Spotify, a large YouTube channel following and he also supported Joel Corey on tour!

They talk about the mindset Ben champions that has that has got him to where he is today, the power of branding and why always striving to improve and educate yourself is the key to long-term success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Even before DJing, Ben was teaching and educating others as well as constantly and consistently building his own skills, from speaking on podcasts, photography to teaching and making music.
• If you want something enough, you will work hard to make it happen. Ben has never given up on anything, he has always strived and pushed harder whenever he has come up against a challenge.
• Ben has ADD, he has navigated the world by making it work for him and how his brain works. He isn’t saying that his journey isn’t more difficult that someone who isn’t neurodiverse but he has found ways to manoeuvre the world and work with his strengths to succeed.
• The support and love Ben has had from his parents has helped him in all stages of his career and life. He attributes a lot of his success to the solid grounding they have given him.
• sometimes Ben can struggle with focusing on work, especially as he has so= many different ventures. He uses the Pomodo technique, where he tries to work in 30 minutes slots; this is something he would recommend to everyone not just those with ADD.
• There are three main ways to get a remix, A: the label ask you, B: The artist has asked for you C: Bootlegging it and hoping for the best!
• Ben wants to be in business for a long time but he is working to be financially free by his 30’s so that he can help others for free, give back and focus on family.
